Beverages
For many ICers they find that their choice of bladder friendly drinks is reduced to water, and perhaps milk (or soymilk if your bladder can tolerate soy products). As products like sodas, coffee, many teas, most fruit and vegetable juices, and alcohol (especially red wine) get scratched off the list. But fear not, there are still many options available. Try making homemade smoothies or milk shakes, squeeze your own pear or carrot juice (or combine both for a tasty, vitamin rich treat), and ice tea made with caffeine free bladder safe teas. Just as with cold drinks many ICers find their list of warm drinks has shrunken a lot. But there are alternatives to coffees, teas, and hot drinks with alcohol. White hot chocolate, pear juice cider (alcohol free), bladder friendly teas, and even a mug of warm milk can all be wonderful alternatives, especially during the chill of winter.
