JAKARTA - Many popular drinks in Ramadan that are commonly consumed during Iftar contain high sugar and calories. These drinks can trigger a spike in blood sugar and make the body quickly get tired again.

Therefore, choosing fresh, low-calorie drinks for breaking the fast is the right step, so that the body stays hydrated, the health is maintained, and even avoids weight gain.

The following are some refreshing low-calorie drinks that are suitable for breaking the fast, quoted from Lose It, on Monday, March 2, 2026.

1. Cold lemon water

Water with lemon juice is a practical but healthy choice for breaking the fast. This drink is low in calories, refreshing, and helps hydrate the body quickly.

Lemons help hydrate, support the body's natural detoxification process, and provide vitamin C intake. It tastes light, not too sweet, and is suitable as an opener before consuming the main meal during the fasting.

2. Pure coconut water

Pure coconut water without any additives is known as a natural drink rich in electrolytes such as potassium and magnesium. This content can help restore body fluids after fasting, without causing weight gain.

3. Infused fresh fruit water

Infused water is plain water with fruit pieces such as oranges, strawberries, or mint. This drink is almost calorie-free, but it feels fresher than regular water.

In addition to helping hydrate the body, infused water also makes it easier to meet fluid needs quickly after fasting all day.

4. Low sodium vegetable juice

Vegetable juices with low sodium such as tomatoes, carrots, and cucumbers have lower calories than fruit juices. Not only that, these juices also provide vitamins, minerals, and fiber that help the body feel full for longer, making them suitable for fasting menus.
