When embarking on a Whole30 journey, it’s easy to overlook the beverages you can enjoy. Many drinks contain added sugars or ingredients that aren’t compliant with the program. Thankfully, there are plenty of delicious and refreshing Whole30 friendly drinks to keep you hydrated and satisfied. Here are three diverse examples to inspire your drink choices!
This invigorating drink is perfect for a warm afternoon or as a refreshing accompaniment to a Whole30 meal. It’s a great way to enjoy the bright flavors of citrus without any added sugars.
To make the Zesty Citrus Sparkler, you’ll need:
Start by filling a glass with ice cubes. Pour in the sparkling water, then add the freshly squeezed lemon and orange juice. Stir gently to combine. Garnish with fresh mint leaves for an extra burst of flavor. This drink is not only refreshing but also packed with vitamin C!
Notes: You can substitute the orange with lime for a different flavor profile. Feel free to mix in other citrus fruits like grapefruit too!
If you’re looking for a morning boost without any dairy, this creamy coconut iced coffee is a delightful choice. It’s perfect for those who love their coffee but want to keep it compliant with Whole30 guidelines.
For this drink, you will need:
Begin by brewing your favorite coffee and allowing it to cool. In a glass, combine the cooled coffee, coconut milk, and vanilla extract. Stir well until everything is mixed together. Add ice cubes and, if you like, a sprinkle of cinnamon on top for a warm spice note. This drink will give you the energy boost you need while keeping your Whole30 journey on track.
Variations: Experiment with different kinds of non-compliant extracts, such as almond or hazelnut, to find your favorite flavor combination!
This drink is ideal for those who enjoy a warm, comforting beverage without caffeine. The Berry Infused Herbal Tea is not only Whole30 compliant but also a delightful way to stay hydrated.
You’ll need:
First, place your herbal tea bag in a heatproof cup or teapot. Pour the boiling water over the tea bag and let it steep for about 5-7 minutes, depending on how strong you like your tea. While it’s steeping, muddle the fresh berries in a separate glass to release their juices. Once the tea is ready, remove the tea bag and add it to the muddled berries. Stir to combine. You can enjoy this tea warm or chilled over ice!
Notes: Feel free to try different combinations of herbal teas and berries for a unique flavor experience. Adding a sprig of fresh basil or rosemary can also enhance the flavor beautifully.
With these examples of Whole30 friendly drinks, you can keep your beverage choices exciting and compliant with your dietary goals. Cheers to good health and delicious flavors!
