WaterSounds so boring, right?

You might think so, but it makes the list because water is essential for your body to function properly, helping your liver, kidneys, brain, skin, muscles-- basically every cell in your body.

Added bonus: no calories.

Blended Juices Did you know that blueberries and strawberries can help delay memory loss?

Blended juices are a delicious way to get some of those healthy fruits and veggies in.

Naked, Bolthouse Farms, Odwalla are all great brands waiting for you on your grocery store shelf.

Fruit SodaIt’s too bad that pop, soda, coke –call it what you will—is high in sugar.

But you can still get your bubbles with this combination of sparkling water and natural fruit juice.

And yes, sadly, the sugar content isn’t actually that much lower, but at least it’s natural.

San Pellegrino and Izze are some faves.

6

Iced TeaYou don’t have to live in the South to appreciate the ice-cold, sweetness of this drink.

Splash in some lemonade and you got yourself an Arnold Palmer (about ¾ iced tea and ¼ lemonade).

5

Coco CafeA delicious blend of

coconut water, espresso, and a dash of milk.

It’s the ideal combo for hydration and a little pick-me-up on those long days.

4

LemonadeAh. The classic summer

drink – cool, refreshing, sweet and tart.

You could make it homemade ahead of time or maybe just find a kid with a stand.

Add some variety with fruit, like raspberries, cherries, or strawberries.

3

Coconut WaterIt may be a fad right now, but

for good reasons.

Believe it or not this stuff packs more potassium than a banana.

A natural sports drink, coconut water is perfect for your active summer days.

2

SmoothiesHomemade smoothies are

great for serving at a party.

You can get super creative with the combinations of fruit and vegetables. You can even hide fresh baby spinach, wheat grass juice and the like with frozen or fresh berries, bananas, mango or pineapple.
