Summer reminds us of not only fulfilling our seasonal cravings like watermelons and ice apples but also of fatigue and dehydration. Along with losing your cool, you also are subjected to losing a lot of body fluids in the scorching heat. The season calls for fruit juices, cool drinks, smoothies, milkshakes, and chilled beverages. But if you wanna keep your sugar levels in check, why don’t you prefer an option that doesn’t weigh you down on itself even when consumed after a heavy meal. Yes, Buttermilk scores over all other fancy aerated drinks that you would generally crave for.
