What your dietitian won't tell you about agua fresca


The Weekly Sabor

โ€‹(Read: What Dietitians Keep Missing About Agua Fresca)โ€‹

Have you ever gotten a sugar lecture from a dietitian? Have they ever told you to ditch agua fresca?

And, low-key, did you ever feel like they didn't actually know anything about agua fresca while they were telling you to stop drinking it? ๐Ÿ‘€

If you had a dietitian who actually knows agua fresca, the conversation might look very different! They might tell you about the electrolyte content, or help you pick the flavor with the most antioxidants.

Or they might even laugh with you when you talk about how your dad always adds extra water to his agua fresca ... but then share how you can make that strategy work for you.

I've heard too many stories of Latinas feeling shut down and lectured to over our cultural foods, particularly by dietitans who may not actually get our food.

That's why I wrote this article, sharing all the ways I think dietitians can get tunnel vision and miss important points when it comes to aguas frescas.
