Choose water first
Drink water every day. Add a few slices of fruit for flavor. Flavored and sparkling water with no sugar are also good choices.
Low fat milk and real juices
Have calories and help hydrate. Drink these in small amounts. Some juices also have lots of added sugar. Read the label.
Limit sugary drinks
These are party foods for a treat, not for every day. Soda, energy and sports drinks have lots of sugar. Energy drinks and some sodas have lots of caffeine. Some sports drinks and sodas come without sugar. Read the label.
