Giving up artificial sweeteners--creative alternatives for drinks wanted

tkillion810

I am not an avid plain water drinker, so I'm always on the search for alternatives. Here are a few of my favorites -
GT's Kombucha Gingerade - can be a little expensive, but it's a nice treat
Good Earth Sweet and Spicy tea - can get this caffeine free or with caffeine
Stash - licorice spice herbal tea
Fruit infused water - I have a water bottle that you put the fruit in the middle. I like to add frozen berries.

Flavored fizzy water. The flavoring is all natural. I like raspberry lime, but there are many different kinds!

I have never heard of those brands/products. Will seek them out--thanks!

A couple studies on Stevia:

As an aside,
Kombucha Gingerade, 30 cals for 8 fl oz.

In case you were on the lookout for low to zero calorie water replacements.
