    You can get truvia.
    I tried adding lemon and lime to flavour water today but it tasted horrible to me.
    Maybe I'll try following some recipes online for flavoured water and maybe sweeten with stavia.

    I like to drink mine with citrus Essential Oils (lemon, grapefruit, orange, tangerine, lime, etc). Just 2-3 drops are enough to flavor 16 ounces of water.

    Just make sure the Essential Oils you are using are of high quality and ok to take internally.
    Also always use glass. It will break down plastic and styrfoam.

    So I've completely cut out sugary drinks and fizzy drinks for a long time and I switched to sugar free flavoured water although I love the lemon and lime flavoured water it contains aspartame, which I know to be bad for you. So I've stopped drinking it and water is becoming stale and boring and honestly I enjoy some flavour in my drinks to help wash out bad tastes like certain vegetables.
    Is there anything I can drink that has a good taste but maybe contains natural flavourings. Also if it was cheap that would help too.
    Thanks

    How do you "know" aspartame is bad for you? Did you read something from Dr. Mercola or are you basing this assertion on real science?

    It may taste like crap but it's not dangerous.........

    I drink tea, coffee, diet soda, flavored water, beer. Nothing wrong with aspartame. If you enjoy a soda, have a soda.

    seltzer water!!! I love it gives my that carbonation I love. Most are calorie, sodium and sugar free and use no sugar substitute you just have to read the label. My favorite is regular and lemon lime I drink Canada dry brand.

    Harney's has great tasting teas. My favorite flavor is the hot cinnamon spice - it has a nice cinnamon taste with a hint of sweet (no artificial sweeteners, registers as 0 cal for one tea bag). I have never been the kind of person to add sugar in tea, but my DH does and it's the only tea he drinks without adding sugar - it's that good.

    Aspartame isn't bad for you, people are just jumping on the bandwagon because it's trendy. My dietician said it would be FAR better to drink Crystal light or such to get in my fluids than to not do it at all, and it will NOT interfere with my weight loss (and it hasn't). I drink at least 120 oz per day.
