What can I drink?

August 8, 2008

Hi there

There are a million different fruit juices to drink. There are also

natural sodas - might be really helpful while you're weaning yourself

off your old diet! I'm in New Zealand, so we have different brands, but

if you check out your local natural foods store, they'll have some

healthy sodas available.

Best wishes

Alice

Also, if you like the fizzy part of soda, you can try sparkling mineral water (and you can add sugar-free, natural juice, too). I haven't had a Coke in probably 12 years but before, I had one a day, at least--I don't miss it at all anymore.TeriAlice Leonard <alice wrote: Hi thereThere are a million different fruit juices to drink.

There are some pretty good natural soda options. Hansen's makes good

root beer and ginger ale. There are other brands that I haven't tried.

You could also make your own soda. You can try to win one of the

machines here: http://www.formykidsonline.com/free_stuff.htm

This is an area I keep slipping up with too, and not quite mastered it yet. i

have found

that I like fizzy water with a squeeze of lime in it or a small amount of orange

juice. I

also love green tea. Mostly I miss a coke straight after my evening meal, and

so I brew

the green tea just before tea so it's ready once the meal is over. A lot of

people like

green tea cold with a twist of lemon in it, but I don't fancy cold tea.
