When fasting, the best drinks to consume are those that do not break your fast, typically non-caloric, unsweetened beverages. The most recommended drinks include:
- Plain water (still or sparkling, with optional lemon or cucumber slices for flavor)
- Unsweetened tea (black, green, herbal)
- Black coffee without milk, cream, or sugar (small amounts of heavy cream or certain fats may be acceptable in some fasting protocols)
- Mineral water with electrolytes
- Diluted apple cider vinegar in water (optional, for some)
- Bone broth (though it contains some calories and protein, it may be consumed cautiously if it fits your fasting goals)
It is best to avoid any drinks with added sugars, milk, cream, flavored coffee creamers, fruit juices, alcohol, or calorie-containing beverages as they will break the fast or interfere with its benefits. These beverages help maintain hydration, support metabolism, and keep hunger at bay during fasting periods.
