Seven Tasty Alternatives To Green Juice
-
Up Mountain Switchel
Switchel is a beverage that originated in Vermont hundreds of years ago. Today, this artisanal brand has put its own spin on it by combining apple cider vinegar, ginger and a touch of sweet Vermont maple syrup. It can be enjoyed on its own, over ice, used as a cocktail mixer or even heated. All three of the ingredients were picked because of specific health benefits, which you can read about here.
Switchel, $6.99

Coco Libre
Coconut waters are a dime a dozen these days, but this organic one is made with almonds and other ingredients like Tahitian vanilla and whey protein isolate, so it delivers 20 grams of protein along with the coconut water's electrolytes, vitamins and minerals — all without adding any sugar.
Almond Protein, $35.79 for 12

All Beauty Water
Formulated to hydrate and nourish the skin, these flavored waters are all zero calories and have no artificial ingredients. What sets them apart from regular water is that they're made with what the brand calls "SkinVitamins" (vitamin A, vitamin C, vitamin D, vitamin E, vitamin B12, vitamin B6, vitamin B3, biotin) and "SkinNutrients" (selenium, green tea extract, magnesium, manganese, calcium, potassium, zinc).
All Beauty Water, $36 for 12

LaCroix Sparkling Water
LaCroix is the best-selling domestic sparkling water brand in the U.S., so it's not surprising that it boasts an ever-expanding roster of flavors, all of which are naturally flavored with essence oils extracted from fruit. Calorie- and sugar-free flavors range from Pamplemousse to Lime to Orange.
LaCroix Sparkling Water, $10.99 for 24

Mamma Chia
You'll want to watch the sugar content for some of these flavors, but all of this brand's drinks are loaded with omega-3, fiber and protein-rich organic chia seeds, which you can see suspended in the various organic fruit juice combinations. Flavors include Blackberry Hibiscus, Cherry Lime, Coconut Mango, Cranberry Lemonade, Guava Mamma, Pineapple Coconut and Strawberry Lemonade.
