Water, black coffee, plain tea and what breaks a fast, plus how a smoothie can fit into your eating window.
If you're trying intermittent fasting, the most common question is what you can drink without breaking your fast.
Usually fine during a fast
- Water, still or sparkling
- Black coffee, no milk or sugar
- Plain tea, green, black or herbal, unsweetened
What breaks a fast
Anything with calories, including:
- juice and smoothies
- milk, creamer or sweeteners in coffee
- sports and energy drinks
Where a smoothie fits
A smoothie is great for breaking your fast, during your eating window. A fruit smoothie with some protein is an easy first meal.
Check with your doctor first
Fasting isn't right for everyone, especially if you're pregnant, have diabetes, take medication or have a history of disordered eating. Talk to your doctor before starting.
