Summer is upon us, and there is nothing quite like a cool, refreshing beverage to celebrate the season. We’ve asked Certified Nutritionist and Vie Coach, Carly Cameron, to share some of her favorite summer cocktails. Not only are these drinks beautiful and delicious, but they are calorie-conscious too. They also make great mocktails if you want to skip the alcohol.
Featuring fruits, tea and even some herbs, each of Carly’s drinks has a different vibe. Don’t forget the garnish to make them extra Insta-worthy. To reduce the calorie count even further, simply swap any normal juices for sugar free.
Let’s lift our glasses in celebration of the rewarding journey of fitness. Here’s to strength, sisterhood, and summer!
