I’m trying to cut back on sodas. Not only are they bad for your health, the mid-afternoon sugar crash was literally killing my buzz.

Luckily, I love Perrier! It’s a wonderful way to get a little bit of bubble without all the added sugar of sodas.  Every once in a while, though, I crave just a little bit of sweetness in my drink. I don’t want to compromise by reaching over for the cola, so I’ve come up with a few tricks to spruce up my bev.

I like to add a few slices of strawberry and pour the perrier into my favorite glass. When I don’t have strawberries, I use lime.

The trick is not to use too much lime or else you’ll flatten out the bubbles!

The bubbles aren’t for everyone- Babyface isn’t a fan. This tip works for flat water too. 🙂

Other ingredients I use to freshen up my cup are:

• lemon
• lime
• orange
• maraschino cherries
• mango
• cucumber
• mint
• basil

 

Next time you’re thinking of reaching for that can of cola, consider a natural alternative. Not only will it taste better, you’ll notice the sugar crash vanish! Give it a try.
