About this deal
Surfing played such a big role in the hard times in my life, so I just love knowing that by working with The Wave we can help give more people access to water who really need it and can benefit from it. It’s all about the chance to taste it, and the good impact it can have on your life. I think surfing has never had a bigger role to play. Surfing is just so relevant for blue health. So this is about allowing people - particularly disadvantaged young adults in Bristol - to access the things that we love and make us feel good. And it’s not just about surfing, and waves, but the behavioural and mental health change that being in or near the water can foster, overcoming fears and gaining confidence.
Although there’s not much to choose between this category and the last category, ice-cream milkshakes come out as worst in our list thanks to the combination of sugar and fat. Fruit-flavoured fizzy drinks like lemonade and fizzy orange are slightly better choices than cola, but not ideal as your regular drink. The combination of sugar and acid can damage your teeth, and over time, excess calories from a high-sugar diet can lead to weight gain. Whether it’s chocolate or flavoured coffees such as hazelnut or salted caramel, the sugary ingredients plus the full-fat milk and cream on top makes these indulgent drinks high in calories and saturated fat. A large caramel-flavoured blended coffee drink, for example, can come in at 450 calories – that’s three times more than a can of cola.
Diluting a small amount of squash with water can make it seem quite harmless, but in actual fact a squash or cordial made with sugar comes with around 3 teaspoons of sugar per glass. Refuel: In Seatown, the Anchor Inn offers great pub food, or at the weekend try the woodfired pizza at Chariot of Fire. Over in West Bay, there are plenty of options; our recommendation is Rise where you can enjoy a refreshing Feel Good drink and delicious food Activity lover: Adventure-seekers can head to Lulworth where Lulworth Outdoors offers activities such as coasteering and kayaking.
The Feel Good brand continues to encourage our consumers to recycle and we will continue to work with Every Can Counts at our events
While these drinks are unlikely to ever be a healthy option, you can ask for changes to cut down on the calories, saturated fat and sugar. Ask for drinks to be made with low-fat milk and sugar-free syrups and avoid marshmallows on top. Keep whipped cream on top for an occasional treat and ask for a small amount rather than the regular serving.
