7 Best Healthy Summer Drinks to Keep You Cool in the Heat:


1. Coconut water


Almost available everywhere at a cheap price of Rs 40, it is a boon for everyone. It is also delicious and has lots of vitamins, electrolytes, and minerals. You can also consume it instead of your regular sports drink.


2. Nimbu Pani Or Lemonade


No Nimbu Pani tastes better than the one which mothers make at home. Don't you'll agree? With the perfect balance of sugar and salt, it is one of the refreshing drinks ever with no calories if you skip the sugar. So make sure to drink lots of Nimbu Pani to keep yourself hydrated this summer.


3. Lemon Iced Tea


A South American drink which is now famous all over India, thanks to the trendy cafes. We are a nation of hardcore chai lovers but sometimes, instead of the usual Garam Chai we also want something which is cool along with it being delicious. This is where iced tea comes into place. The added advantage is you can prepare this tea in advance and store it in the fridge so that when you return back home you can directly drink it. Ain't that easy?


4. Sugarcane juice


Another drink that is delicious and has no calories. Available everywhere small carts are selling them at Rs 10 per glass. Sugarcane juice is sold by street vendors throughout India. The vendors put the sugarcane in a machine, which presses and extracts the sugarcane juice out. Sugarcane juice is usually served with a dash of lime and/or ginger juice. It's rich in antioxidants, iron, magnesium, calcium, and other electrolytes which makes it great for dehydration. It also boosts the body's protein levels.


5. Watermelon Nimbu Pani


Give a twist to the usual Nimbu Pani by adding watermelon juice ice cubes. And you'll love it. Sweet, lemony, salty everything in one drink. It's refreshing, I'm telling you!


6. Lassi


It's a yogurt-based drink from Punjab which has become famous all over India. It is very creamy and delicious. These days they sell lassi in small packets but authentic lassi is hard to find. It has got many variations like mango, avocado, etc. Lassi can be made both sweet and savory, though I personally like the sweeter version (sweet tooth here😜). It is also healthy since it contains calcium, lactic acid, and Vitamin D.


7. Aam Panna


A popular drink made from fresh, unripe mangoes. Aam Panna has a tangy, sweet taste with hints of cardamom, cumin & black salt. The addition of these not only brings in more flavors but also helps in digestion. It is popular all throughout North and West India.
