Who said that all fast foods are unhealthy? Take a look at these temptingly delicious fast food drinks, which are a healthier option, too.
Gone are those days when fast food was considered to be junk; all thanks to fast food owners who are catering to the diet-conscious. You can now enjoy a cup of your favorite drink without having to worry about piling on pounds with these relatively healthier drinks. Get ready to grab a lip-smacking, refreshing, healthy drink, while you are out there, on the go.

PICK YOUR FAST FOOD DRINK

Espresso

Considered to be the best drink ever, the espresso is packed with just about 75 milligrams of caffeine per cup.
It gives the needed kick to jolt you up. We are not talking of every other espresso by the way; we are talking of an exclusive Starbucks espresso. It's a better option than a cup of Joe, which means, you would be consuming lesser calories. Team it with fat-free/low-fat milk and you have a healthier option.

Probiotic Yogurt Blends

Fruits and yogurt make a great combination when blended together, and it's healthy too.
Made with soy milk, probiotic yogurt and whole fruit, it makes a 'berry berry' good option for health-conscious people.

Filled with the goodness of berries and downed with the much-essential dose of proteins, calcium and iron, Jamba probiotic fruit and yogurt blend boasts of packing in just about 230 calories.

Iced Latte

On a hot summer's days, you decide to grab an iced latte; and what if the latte you order is made with nonfat milk and consists of 0 grams of fat? Now that's what we call a healthy option indeed!

Einstein Bros. Bagels medium iced latte will give you a much-needed refreshment at just about 60 calories and 7 grams of protein.

Nonfat Latte

What will you do for a no fat, protein frothing drink? Nothing; just head to your nearest McDonald's and ask for the Nonfat Latte.

This healthy concoction of coffee and milk offers you the added benefits of proteins with just about 90 calories. The nonfat latte is a healthy breakfast option that is available.

Green Tea

Now, who wouldn't want a cup of flavonoids and antioxidants that will improve the overall mental and physical health and de-stress you as well?

Kick-start your day by heading to Dunking Donuts and opting for this drink, thus reaping its benefits. The best part is that it contains absolutely no calories!

Mocha Cream

Tempting enough to down it in one go, the mocha cream concoction is an absolute must-have to curb those odd snacky urges that you have.
The one at The Coffee Beanery is laced with orange and vanilla. Although topped with a huge dollop of whipped cream with chocolate shavings, it will punch in just about 120 calories and 6 grams of fat; besides, it's decanted coffee that we are talking about.

Berry Smoothie

Head to your nearest McDonald's outlet and ask for the McSmoothie or berry smoothie. You would be delighted to know that the berry yogurt smoothie contains just about 210 calories and less than 0.5 grams of fat, making it a relatively healthy option to go in for.

Lemonade

Why shouldn't this summer drink feature here when we have all the reasons it should? A glass of lemonade contains a healthy dose of vitamin C and 3 grams of sugar; besides, having 25 calories. The Chick-fil-A's diet lemonade has no calorie sweetener and is low on sodium.

Iced Tea

Think healthy, and here's a good news! Iced tea is a healthier option too. Okay, we aren't talking of sweetened ice tea, we are talking specifically of Sonic's ice tea which is absolutely natural, unsweetened, and is refreshing; besides, it contains only five calories.

Fat-free Milk

Another option for you would be to down your spicy burger, or a pack of potato fries with a glass of skimmed/fat-free milk. Your body will thank you for a healthy dose of potassium sans the extra fat. The fat-free milk from Burger King contains just about 100 calories in a 7.8 fl. oz bottle.

Iced Coffee

A frothy cup of delight for those who like their coffee black and cold. Besides making coffee appealing, it's also a great summer drink. It contains 57 calories and just about 1 g fat. Ask for the Greek iced coffee at Starbucks for this goody treat; besides, you can even make it yourself.
And finally, the best among the best; a glass full of crystal-clear water. Have it in whichever way you want and from wherever you want. It contains 0 calories, 0 grams of fat, and is a healthy option.
Need anymore evidence for gulping down a huge serving of it? Writing about the healthy fast food drinks has made me thirsty too! Guess I'll just pop into the nearest McDonald's outlet and get my cup to quench my thirst. Till then, adios my friends.
