Sugary Drink Swap Planner
A drink-swap planning page for reducing added sugar without making drinks a moral issue.
Swap ladder
- Choose one drink moment, not every drink at once.
- Reduce size, frequency, or sweetness before removing a drink entirely.
- Create a default order for coffee shops, restaurants, or work.
- Keep water visible at the moment you usually want a sweet drink.
- Use unsweetened, lower-sugar, or diluted options if they fit your preferences.
- Review after one week and decide whether to repeat or adjust.
Keep it flexible
A drink swap works best when it changes the default without turning favorite drinks into forbidden objects. Pick the smallest change that you can repeat.
If restriction language makes the habit more stressful, frame the quest as adding a water cue or choosing an intentional drink.

FAQ
Do I have to stop sweet drinks completely?
No. Many people start with smaller portions, fewer sweet drinks, or a default lower-sugar option.
Is water always the only good option?
No. Water is useful, but unsweetened tea, coffee, sparkling water, or other lower-sugar drinks may also fit.
