The "New Year, New Me" mentality is still here as we slowly make it out of January. While we have the best intentions to get to that smoking-hot summer body, it's hard to stay committed while sacrificing the things we enjoy most. In order to gain the best results, consistency and making the best choices for ourselves should become a lifestyle rather than a phase. You shouldn't have to sacrifice the things that make you - well, you!
Many athletes and fitness enthusiasts enjoy happy hours. Who doesn't? For most, the word moderation isn't in their vocabulary. If we are cognizant about the choices we make, there are usually alternatives that won't jeopardizing your macros and of all of the alcoholic beverages available, beer always gets the bad rap. Many complain that beer is filled with high and empty calories, which is usually followed by that bloated feeling with over-consumption. Lets face it, the only six pack everyone wants to see when lifting up their shirts are abs!
M.I.A Beer Company has heard Miami and they have brewed, tapped and even canned their own version of spiked seltzer water, called HRD WTR. HRD WTR is brewed with champagne yeast and is gluten-free meaning the gluten malt, usually used in beers, is removed. Beer is also heavy on carbohydrate calories, but each serving of HRD WTR is just 147 calories, only 5 g of carbs and has 5% alcohol content. M.I.A Beer Company has starting distributing the fitness-friendly beverage to bars, restaurants as well as local markets with their four pack, 16 ounce cans.
Create carb-conscious cocktails with HRD WTR as mixers or simply consume as is. It's like drinking a refreshing glass of flavored sparkling water, but you will be feeling a little "hoppy" at happy hour. HRD WTR comes in cucumber lemon lime, blueberry, grapefruit, orange, and key lime. As always, drink responsibly and cheers!
