Ice coffee with cream/ice cream: have to watch the calories.

Also like flavoured soy milk and ginger beer.

Used to like lime spiders.

Sodium free club soda/seltzer water, all day, every day.

Oh, and coffee with almond milk in the morning. Two cups.

Carrot juice takes some beating but also just lately ive taken a liking for a mix of juices..

beetroot
tomato
mango and papaya

varying amounts of each but usually roughly 15-25% beet, 60-75% tomato and maybe 10-20% of mango and papaya (theses are from a pre mixed carton)

If available I would also add celery to this

Ive yet to get a juicer ... so for now these are from cartons of juice from supermarket.

the beetroot is expensive tho at £3 for a litre, but it makes alot when mixed like this... and i think to myself the amount I would of spent of other drinks in the past for just one evening.....
I would never of spent so much on such in past.
I now think its kinda a treat for not having the "bad stuff"...

Besides regular water I like to make water with different fruits and herbs. My latest was cucumber, lime, cherries, mint. I also like this mix that's berry lemonade and iced tea. Lipton I think.

When it comes to the expense of my beverages, I could care less. I mean within reason. This is where we get to really splurge. I spent a fortune on alcohol. I am still saving money with my spritzer, juicey, water thing.

I hear you. Sometimes when I'm buying things that are good for me I sit and ponder "hmmm do I really need that or can afford that?". I never gave it a second thought when I was buying my booze. It's funny, if it came down to food or booze, well the booze always won!

Right. So, when I hit up the store, I think about all of this " Can I afford stuff" and then I realize that I most definitely can afford this spritzer. I will buy 2, and this lasts me longer than alcohol ever would. I feel so spoiled BRING ON THE SPRITZER STUFF!!!

Oh, and when it came to the wine or food. I chose Wine. what a drag!

My absolute favorite is seltzer (any flavor), splash of cranberry juice, and lime wedges. Not sure it it reminds me of wine (the red and bitterness) or beer (the fizziness and coldness) but it is awesome!

My fave too.

I mostly drink herbal tea, dark roast coffee made in the French press with a splash of half & half, and tons of seltzer with fruit juice (lot of water, little juice) over crushed ice.
