What to drink when dining out?🥤🧃🤔

Hi mummies, what drinks do you order when you're dining out, now that you're pregnant? At fast food restaurants/cinemas/restaurants, there're only lemon tea and sweet soft drinks like Coke/Sprite. At coffeeshop/hawker centres/food courts, it's either hot/iced kopi/tea/Milo, or the various canned drinks. What's your 'safe' go-to drink when you're eating out? I haven't found mine, and gotta admit I've been drinking canned soft drinks like 100plus, Carrot Juice, Mixed Berries, all of which are probably on the sweeter side, sigh. :(

I will always go for Milo. Haha! There’s nothing else in the coffee shop or hawker centre that I see deem fit for pregnant women. If not u can go for fruit juices? Make sure they don’t add any additional sugar in. As for cinema, I only buy plain water🤣 no choice. No suitable drinks I see that I can accept hahah!

Or maybe honey Lemon if there is.

I always carry my water flask along with me. Ice water is the best for me since its a no sugar and no caffeine and its also refreshing in this kinda hot weather! If i feel i need some sugar, i will just order ice milo, ice lemon tea (try to minimize the tea tho). But water is still the best really!

Sweet drinks are fine once in a while as long as you don't have high risk for GD! Milo has as much sugar as coke actually 🤭. Some slightly healthier options I like are barley water, horlick, lime/lemon juice

Most times I'll go for mineral water. I avoid carbonated drinks but do drink teh tarik and sweet drinks sometime. Will always drink plain water after that

During pregnancy for me i kept ordering Coke or ice/hot milo. I am a person who never ever drinks coke but ever since pregnancy, i drank a lot.

I have milo kosong, ginger drink, ribena

I always drank pokka oolong or any sugarless tea. Just my personal preference since coffee and alcohol were off limits 😔

If is at restaurant, i try to order fruit juice. If at market, soymilk or milo. If not jus skip and buy mineral water.

I drink iced lemon tea, ayataka, hojicha, green tea, sugarcane juice or last resort is iced water :x

I will drink milo kosong hot or honey lemon if I’m at the hawker centre..

I usually take fresh fruit juice if there is, if not then ice lemon tea.
