Hubby's healthy iced mint tea

Ok, so here we are post op, doing my best to provide healthy meals for hubby at home. Hubby refuses to bring a packed lunch to work and deemed it "uncool" to bring his own food. So, the loving wife that I am, I always ask him what he's been eating. He answers mostly Subway grilled chicken or turkey sandwiches on whole wheat bread (I'm hoping he's telling the truth, he he he). Imagine my horror when he told me that he usually have bottomless iced tea with his sandwiches. Whaaaat?!! Those sugary drinks are the main cause of the spare tire in the first place.

As a compromise, I make him bring Mint Iced Tea to work. Hubby's Mint Iced Tea uses freshly brewed mint tea, fresh calamansi juice and honey instead of sugar.

Honey is a healthier alternative to sugar and since hubby's unwilling to give up his beverages, this is a healthier alternative. He seems to like it.

I also make him bring fruit to work so that he can munch on them instead of chips.

I have no photo of hubby's iced tea but do have one with him in a dress :-)
