28 Aug 6 Ways to Swap What You’re Sippin’

I wanted to share with you some of the top sugary drinks I often see in people’s diet.

Awareness precedes change with making moves in our health goals!

Soda  39g sugar

Orange Juice 37g sugar

Sweet Tea  27g sugar

Hot Chocolate  42g sugar 

Starbuck’s Pumpkin Spice Latte 38g sugar

McDonald’s Frappe Coffee 58g sugar

*Note these are all 12oz servings for comparison. Typically the coffee drinks are larger at 16oz. 

Swapping some of these sugar laden drinks is a great step to start minimizing empty calories in your diet. 

Rethink Your Drink

Tips to Start

1. Cut back by one can of soda per day, don’t try to stop all at once

2. Have a whole orange instead of a glass of juice to get more fiber

3. Choose unsweetened tea and add your own sweetness as needed

4. DIY Hot Chocolate –

• unsweetend Hershey’s cocao, hot water, milk

5. Skip the whip or ask for one pump in your PSL 

6. Banana Coffee Frappe – 

• 1 c frozen Banana, ¾ c leftover cold coffee, ¼ c milk, 1 tsp pure vanilla extract

Do you struggle with sugary drinks that are limiting you from making progress with your health goals? 

This is often the first thing I will work on with my nutrition clients. They are shocked once they start tracking their nutrition how much these high sugar drinks are limiting their progress.

Let me know if this was helpful!
