I drink lots of water since I stopped drinking soda. Its such a boring drink. Any ideas on how to add flavor to it? Beside lemon??

    Have you tried adding frozen or fresh fruit? It flavours your water and then you can also eat the fruit once you've finished

    Is this not a thing in America? In Norway I can literally go to the grocery store and pick from 30 different flavors/brands to add to my water.

    I infuse my water wth fruit. BUT lately I'm hooked on Nestle Pure Life, carbonated water (in a can.) No aspartame, No caffeine. Zero calories. I like the mango,peach,pineapple flavour. Also a rasberry,lime. I've found in in the water isle as well as pop isle in store. Plus it's filling due to carbonation. Comes in a 12pk.

    Here are a couple of links on flavoring up your water (the Jamie Oliver link in the first site is broken so I've provided one that works):

    How much sodium?

    It doesn't take much to flavor water for me. I often add an ounce of grapefruit juice or an ounce of many other beverages- Orangina, pink lemonade. If I'm out, I'll pour a little of whatever hubby is drinking- i.e. Italian soda into my water.

    Sugar-free Kool-Aid, Crystal light, or the generic equilvalents

    Even though there's really no difference, it might be worth a try...

    I have a Soda Stream and drink sparkling water with a squeeze of lemon or lime juice.

    La Croix sparkling water. Zero calories, zero sweeteners, zero sodium, and tons of flavors to choose from. Took me from drinking 2-3 cans of diet soda a day to no soda at all in no time flat.

    I like to mash up some mint leaves along with some lemon slices. Or, mint and mushed up strawberries is delicious too.

    I use a product called True Orange, True Lemon,and True lime, depending on which I have on hand. It is crystallized whatever fruit you choose. I use that and stevia and it tastes like lemonade or limeade.

    Filter it through ground up beans of the coffee plant. You can drink it hot or cold.

    I have never seen this in America, but we have sparkling ice. Flavored water, zero calories, lots of flavors.

    I like the various water flavorings that you can add (Mio, etc.) Some of them even have caffeine!

    Usually, a can of carbonated water has 5-10 mg of sodium.

    I drink so much more water since getting a fruit infuser pitcher for Christmas. They're about $20 at Target. My current favorite combo is strawberry/clementine. Yummmm.

    Paper thin slices of apple and cinnamon or mulling spices in cheesecloth pouch in a big pitcher you can drink all day.

    Or....take a big pitcher and add in herbal tea in a tea steeper or herbal tea bags about 2. The water can be hot tap water to release the flavor quicker or cold.

    I usually make tea with truvia to drink while at work, sometimes mio at home. If I'm out, I stop by Sonic and get a water with white coconut and mango.
