Super summertime thirst quenchers
| Keep a pitcher of cold water in your fridge at all times. Fill your water bottle with water and ice cubes - carry it with you when going out in the heat. |
| Consider adding lemon, lime or orange slices to your water - or, be creative and try adding melon balls, cucumber slices, frozen berries or any other summer fruit you love. |
| Sip on a refreshing, cold glass of milk or soy beverage - plain or flavoured. |
| Try an iced latte made with low-fat milk vs. an iced slushy coffee. |
| Mix club soda with higher-sugar drinks to reduce the total sugar and calories. |
| Enjoy a slice of juicy watermelon. |
| Eat a handful of fresh berries. |
| Crunch on crisp cucumber slices and celery sticks. |
| Pop a few fresh cherry tomatoes in your mouth. |
| Snack on a bunch of fresh or frozen grapes. |
| Enjoy some tangy citrus fruit. |
