Evidence based
Swap sugary soda for this low glycemic sparkling drink. This refreshing and invigorating beverage is infused with spearmint tea for a burst of freshness. Lime adds a hint of tartness while coconut milk brings a mellow creaminess.
Revitalize with Mint Tea
Spearmint tea adds real mint flavor to this fizzy soda and perfectly complements the tangy lime flavor. The tea crystals dissolve in cold liquid without the need to heat or steep. The invigorating flavor of this soda is perfect for hot days when you need to hydrate and refresh without any added sugar. It’s also perfect for sipping to promote satiety – one of the many benefits of spearmint. It also helps to support healthy digestion and provide an overall sense of calm.
Unsweetened coconut milk adds a hint of tropical flavor and a creamy texture. You can use unsweetened coconut milk from a can or carton. The carton variety is found in the refrigerated section of most grocery stores.
Low-Glycemic Sweetness
Monk fruit sweetener is low-glycemic and a great alternative to honey or sugar if you are reducing your sugar intake. It is much sweeter than table sugar so only a small amount is needed at a time. Monk fruit drops blend perfectly in drinks with no gritty texture left behind.
