Non-alcoholic beverages are often considered a healthier alternative to alcoholic drinks which are very high in calories. But not all of these options are necessarily as healthy as they seem.
As an aperitif, ginger beer or non-alcoholic beer?
calories: 45 carbs: 11
calorie: 25 carbs: 4.9
Advantage of non-alcoholic beer. Despite their similar names, these two drinks don’t have much in common. Ginger beer – made from ginger, yeast and water – has a high sugar levelequivalent to that of a classic soda. We prefer non-alcoholic beer, in favoring 0% references of alcohol rather than ultra-light (1.2% alcohol and less).
It also works:
The rosé without alcohol. The alcohol having been removed, the final result is very little (if not at all) alcoholic, and therefore low calorie.
To rehydrate without getting bored, flavored water or coconut water?
calories: 1 carbs: 0
Coconut water :
calories: 15 carbs 3.3
Victory at flavored water. Provided that it does not contain added sugars, sweeteners or artificial flavors (lemon-flavored Cristaline or Salvetat). Yes, coconut water is remineralizing (potassium, magnesium, etc.) but it contains the equivalent per glass two lumps of sugar. In moderation, therefore.
It also works:
Homemade flavored water with herbs (mint…), cucumber slices, lemon juice, citrus peels… infusions/smoked teas.
Diet cola and zero, which is better?
Cola light :
calories: 0 carbohydrates: 0
Cola zero:
calories: 0 carbohydrates: 0
Neither because they contain synthetic sweeteners (aspartame, acesulfame K, etc.), whose deleterious effects have been demonstrated (disruption of the microbiota, increased risk of cancer, maintenance of the appetite for sweet taste, etc.). Their difference lies mainly in the flavor, modulated by the various additives.
we favor:
Real cola, ideally with the mostnatural ingredients possible (Breizh Cola for example or, better yet, an organic cola). Occasionally, and just a drink.
For breakfast, squeezed orange or smoothie?
Pressed orange:
calories: 45 carbs: 8
Smoothie :
calories: 52 carbs: 12
Equality. Both are equal if they are homemade. We prepare the orange juice at the last minute, to preserve your vitamin C and we keep the pulp, for the fibers. The same goes for fruit-based smoothies, which are not always very healthy. As these drinks are very sweet, they must be consumed occasionally and with foods that limit the increase in blood sugar levels (eggs, vegetables, wholemeal bread, unsweetened yogurt…).
It also works:
Vegetable juice (carrot, beetroot, cucumber, etc.) homemade with the extractor, well supplied with antioxidants, vitamins, minerals, and less rich in sugars.
Want fruit juice, pure juice or nectar?
Pure juice:
calories: 38 carbs: 9
Nectar :
calories: 45 carbs: 10
Clearly the pure juice (with the pulp) even if you should not drink it every day. Obtained by pressing the fruit then pasteurized, without added colorings or additivesit therefore remains a natural product. This is not the case of nectar which is obtained from fruit pulp or puree, water, added sugars, or even colorings and additives.
It also works:
The concentrateless “natural” than pure juice, but obtained by pressing the fruit, dehydrated then rehydrated with the same quantity of water, without other additions.
