Choose sometimes...
100% Fruit and Vegetable Juice
Fruit and vegetable juice provides vitamins, but can also have a lot of naturally occurring sugar. Choose the whole fruit and vegetable instead to get all the nutrients and fibre. Avoid fruit "cocktails", "drinks", and "punches" as these are mostly sugar with little nutrients.
Flavoured Milk and Flavoured Soy Beverages
Flavoured milk and fortified soy beverage provides us with nutrients, but can also have a lots of added sugar.
Choose rarely...
Sugar-Sweetened Drinks
Drinks, like pop, iced teas, lemonades, slushies, specialty coffees, vitamin-enhanced water, energy drinks and sport drinks, usually provide little nutrition, but have lots of added sugars. Sport drinks aren't needed unless you are exercising at a high intensity for at least an hour. Water is usually all we need.
