When in doubt...water it down...:-)

Somehow I managed to wean myself from drinking pop.  I don't know how, exactly.  I was drinking diet pop, but realized it was giving me nothing of nutritive value and I was paying for that.  So I switched to juices.  They are great, but have a lot of sugar.  So I have gotten into the habit of watering juices down, about half-and-half.  Still tastes great.  I find I do the same thing with soy milk (or almond or coconut, I have a dairy allergy to regular milk) when making hot chocolate.  Tastes wonderful, half the calories, and I am hydrating...can't go wrong with that...:-)
