Watching the Calories

Fruit juice is good for you right?? Well, it isn’t so good for your waistline. While it’s definitely better than a sugary soda, there is still a lot of sugar in a glass of juice. Just stop for a moment and think about how many pieces of fruit had to be squeezed for just one glass. So, there is not only a lot of sugar, but some extra calories too. But there is a way around it.
Mix 1/4 of a glass of your favorite juice ( I like cranberry but it will work with any juice) and then top it up with soda water. It is amazingly refreshing on a hot day and a lot less sweet.
*And if you are worried that you aren’t getting enough vitamins, choose a piece of raw fruit instead.
