Coconut Water
The best thing about coconut water is that you can drink it at any time of the day. Even on an empty stomach. Just stock some coconuts and you’ll be sorted for the week. And if that’s not convenient, you can grab a packaged drink from your local grocery store too. But make sure, there is no added sugar or preservatives. Or else, it’ll be like going to the movie hall for a Hritik Roshan movie, only to realize it’s Harman Baweja on the screen.
Lemon Water
If you’re looking for a tea alternative or an instant fix for your daily stress, the easiest way would be to squeeze some lemons and chug a glass of lemon water. It helps in weight loss, improves your skin, aids digestion, and keeps you well hydrated too. Basically, the next time someone says If life gives you, pass them a glass of lemon water and tell me to chill the heck down. Just sayin’.
Fruit Shakes and Smoothies
When it comes to shakes and smoothies, there are infinite possibilities. You can google for new combos every day and keep things interesting. Our personal suggestion for students would be a banana smoothie. Because you can find them no matter where you’re living and it’s easy to make too. Plus, it’s super tasty. One sip of it and your mind space will be transported to an island resort lightnin’ fast.
Sattu Drink
Sattu is made from roasting gram flour and water. The super healthy drink is rich in soluble fiber, high in protein, and helps in digestion too. We know what some of y’all are thinking tho, it sounds way too uncool and as sanskari as Alok Nath, right? But have you ever seen him frustrated? Ever? Well, the obvious answer is no. So keep calm and grab some sattu.
Ginger Ale
Although commercially made ginger ale is not so healthy, drinking a glass of homemade ginger ale can be pretty refreshing. It includes lemons, some ginger, chilled water, and a little bit of sugar for taste. Also, the drink can stop nausea and constipation. So it’s definitely one of the better alternatives to tea and coffee. And if not anything, it would definitely make your mum smile when they see you drinking something you’ve dreaded growing up.
