As personal trainers, especially in NYC, we need to keep informing clients that if you want to fight off bad weight, DON’T drink your calories. We all know that soda is bad for you, even diet soda isn’t the best for you with all the artificial ingredients and the extra carbonation that’ll bloat you up.

And stevia for a sweetener =

Cool it over night and BAM, you got a great tasting, zero calories, bad ass drink for ya. I particularly like sour things so adding in the Vitamin C gives me that kick I want. And if you’re not familiar with stevia, click here.
