When you are counting calories, remember to take those Indian beverages into consideration. They may leave you refreshed and bring you smiles in the smouldering summer heat, but some of them may also add to your waistline. To help you make a healthy choice, here are the calorie counts of common Indian drinks.
These calories are calculated using Healthifyme calorie counter, world s first Indian nutrition tracker.
So, if you are watching your weight, drinks like jaljeera and kehwa can be ideal for you. Kehwa is a caffeine-free Kashmiri tea that will not only energise you but will also improve digestion. Buttermilk can also be an excellent digestive aid, and it is especially beneficial in soothing your stomach after you eat anything spicy. Aam ka panna is a very cooling drink and can even prevent sunstroke in summers. Shikanji, which is perhaps the cheapest summer, drink can be a good way to boost your intake of vitamin C, vitamin B, riboflavin and minerals like phosphorus, magnesium and calcium.
Now that you know the calorie counts of your favourite Indian beverages, would you still go for the glass of thandai or that falooda with ice-cream?
