The best weight loss drinks for the summer!
Especially in summer, for many of us everything revolves around the “beach body” and the tighter the clothes, the greater the desire to feel comfortable in your own skin – which usually goes hand in hand with the topic of weight loss. We understand that very well. Nevertheless, we would like to remind you in advance that every body is a “beach body” and you should only lose weight to do something good for yourself and your health. It is often not necessary to lose weight, but simply to concentrate more on a healthy and balanced diet.
You can drink low-calorie drinks and do sports, but your diet makes up 80 percent of your feel-good weight. Eat whatever you feel like, treat yourself to an ice cream every now and then and a soda if you need something really refreshing. Of course it makes sense to pay attention to what you drink! Lemonades in particular are real sugar traps, which can, however, be excellently replaced.
Are you looking for refreshing and delicious drinks for the summer? We have collected the best drinks for you so that you can enjoy your refreshment without a guilty conscience and thus reward not only your soul but also your body! Wondering what foods help you lose weight? Then read here.
Another tip: Alcohol can also have a major impact on your feel-good weight, because there are a lot of calories hidden here. Alcoholic beverages also affect your metabolism. Every once in a while this isn’t a problem, but be careful not to overdo it!

Weight loss drinks: the best recipes
The best drink there is is water and you should drink at least two liters of it a day, if not more! Of course, you can always grab a soda or make yourself a shake, but water is what our bodies need to function. If you want something with taste, try these delicious drinks:
Infused Water
Probably the best diet drink is infused water and it’s really easy to prepare! You simply put your favorite fruit, herbs or cucumber in a bottle or carafe and mix it all with still or sparkling water. Yummy! No idea what to use for that? These are the most popular ingredients:

Icetea
Iced tea is so delicious! And what we like to enjoy nice and hot in winter must of course be refreshingly cool in summer! The basis on which you prefer to make your iced tea is entirely up to you. This can be green, black or fruit tea, for example, but peppermint tea can also be enjoyed cold. As for the other ingredients, feel free to experiment! Important: Never use sugar, neither refined nor unrefined. If you’re missing a little sweetness, add a (small!) dollop of agave, date, or maple syrup. Pour your tea, let it brew briefly and cool down and refine it with:
Homemade fruit puree, for example peach, strawberry, etc. Herbs such as mint, rosemary or thyme Fruits such as berries, lemon and lime natural syrup (but really very little)
apple spritzer
Despite fructose, apple spritzer is a great alternative to other juices and sweet drinks, which you should of course drink in moderation and not in bulk. In addition, this weight loss drink is super tasty and so beneficial! Make your own to make sure you don’t have any unnecessary sugar or other artificial additives. It’s easy to do by mixing sparkling water with apple juice in a ratio of about 50/50. You can easily make the apple juice yourself with the help of a mixer, juicer or apple press.
Green Smoothie
Another healthy weight loss drink is a smoothie! It even fills you up and you can eat several healthy types of fruit and vegetables at once. You need at least three ingredients, and essentially, a green smoothie consists of these things: leafy greens, fruit, and liquid. For the liquid you can use normal water or coconut water. How about leafy greens with spinach, for example? The taste is not as severe as, for example, kale. Bananas or berries are suitable for sweetness and to make the whole thing even more refreshing, you can also add fresh mint to your smoothie. The only important thing is that everything is chopped up and mixed really well in a blender. Other matching ingredients:

Lemonade
Nothing beats a cool lemonade in summer, but unfortunately they often have the most sugar and also consist of unnatural ingredients. The healthy alternative is homemade lemonade and it’s really easy! For example, you can squeeze a few lemons, mix them with mint and fresh ginger and add stevia or a pinch of coconut blossom sugar for a sweet touch.
Apple Cider Vinegar
Apple Cider Vinegar? Seriously? Absolutely! You don’t have to drink a whole glass of it at once – it’s also not good for your teeth because of the high acidity. Still, it makes sense to add it to the right drinks every now and then. The reason is as simple as it is good: the acetic acid contained in apple cider vinegar does not allow the blood sugar level to fluctuate too much and thus also improves your metabolism. As a result, the fat burning runs better and food cravings stay away. Incidentally, smoothies and lemonades are best.
