Away from home and want something healthy and refreshing to drink? Why not try green tea, the drink that has risen to meteoric fame in recent years as a result of its mainstream flavor, which anyone can enjoy, and its well established health benefits? Virtually all brand name drinks have adopted some form of green tea in recent years, as its popularity continues to grow in the United States. This includes Lipton, Fuze, Arizon, and SoBe. In addition to the powerful flavor the green tea provides by itself, combining it with a no calorie sweetener, such as Splenda, can make the flavor even better. This is why most brands offer the drink with artificial sweetener already mixed in.

Not so long ago, drinks like these were not popular and could only be found in specialty stores. You basically had to choose from your favorite brand of diet cola if you wanted a drink on the go. Today it’s not only easy to find an iced green tea choice, but you can also try a different one from time to time for variety and to find your favorite. Of course, to save some money if you’re always on the go, you could brew some extra green tea and bottle it up to take with you. Now, if you plan a little bit, you can not only save some of your money, but you can also attempt to keep up with the threshold of green tea drinking you set in order to comply with your dietary restrictions.

Of course you will not always be able to plan ahead and take your tea with you so you need to become label savvy about green tea. Learn to read the nutritional labels to be sure you know what is included in your beverage. Many bottled green teas will contain additional vitamins. This is okay as long as you know what other supplements you are taking and you aren't getting too much of any one ingredient. Also be sure that the additives will not cause any allergic reactions and that any additional flavors included will be welcomed. Of course, no one wants to end up with a flavor of iced green tea that is too bitter or too sweet for their own particular tastes; however, that is exactly what you will encounter depending on the brand you purchase, so shop around and find the tea that is best suited to your tastes.
