We can’t help it – sometimes nothing will do on a hot day but a cold sweet drink. But if you’ve cut sugar from your diet, there are not a lot of options out there for a sugar-free beverage – unless you reach for one of the fruity drinks, teas and coffees in the Food for Health by Xndo range. They are among some of the healthiest completely sugar-free drinks there around – what’s more, they are developed to be loaded with additional benefits. The Grape and Mango flavoured Carb Blocker drinks for example, contain potent extracts of white kidney bean and inulin that work together to limit the absorption of sugar and improve feelings of satiety. They also contain absolutely no sugar – compared with many other laden beverages in the market. So this festive season, reach for the carb-blocker drinks for a sip that also combats weight gain.
