What are you drinking

jaxbeck

As a HUGE soda addict, I'm doing my best to limit it to one a week, therefore I'm replacing my constant coke sipping with water & of course coffee in the morn. Trouble is I'm super bored with the lack of taste. I'm going to hopefully pick up some lemons to add in my water. So what do you drink through the day to break the boredom of water?

OJ and club soda!

Have you tried the Propel packets? Or any flavor packets, really. Cucumbers, strawberries, mint, lime, lemon, orange, and berries I've all seen people do as well. My MIL likes Crystal Light.

maybe try different teas? I have loads I use and the warmth of them makes me feel more full. Try jasmine tea or at the moment i love this mango and lychee twinnings green tea

H2O........lots of it!

I drink a lot of green tea. I also have a Soda Stream and make my own sparking water and add fruit.

Nope, I haven't tried the packets yet....other than Crystal light back in the day. I have a serious to aspartame so anything with it is out….should have mentioned that. Club soda sounds good! Tea also is a good idea as well. Thanks!

I mainly just drink water or plain brewed iced tea. I still do have soda here and there if I want to though. I don't really believe in banning myself from things or strictly limiting. As long as it's within calories and whatnot... I have what I want.

Green tea, peppermint tea, fruit tea ... I like tea

Ginger water/ tea
Just cut some ginger (I usually take the size of my thumb nail) and put it in a tea-bag. Cook about 1-1.5liters of water and make a ginger tea. If this is too warm, just let it cool down (by putting it in the fridge or adding some ice cubes)

Or put some lime juice in sparkling water.

Or try to mix juice with water. If you make it 15% juice only it still tastes different, but doesn't have that much calories

I hope, I could help a little

The "Zinger" teas, I think is celestial Seasonings. They are pretty good without sugar, warm or cold.

I never drink water. Fish f**k in it.

I am an Iced tea addict! (unsweet of course and decaf at night!)
My SigO uses MIO, Crystal Light, and Great Value.(lemonade is killer!)

Have you looked into making your own soda water? I know NOTHING about this method though.

Yeah, I could NEVER ban my coke. Seriously, I'm addicted. lol

Crystal light peach mango green tea is my favorite! Sooo good!

^ This! Squeeze half lemon into sodawater. A lot of people that like coke find that they really only liked the carbonationation. I like teas also. I switch to herbal teas in the evening to continue drinking water, but with flavor.

Right now I have some Pink Lemonade Dasani Drops for my water at work. I usually only put it in once a day (my cup holds 3 cups of water) to change things up a bit.

I am trying to limit my diet pop, just personally trying it out, seeing if it has an effect on how I feel. But I've never had an issue with drinking a ton of water. I have that and my coffee in the morning (with 2 tbsp of flavored creamer and 1/2 tsp of sugar, of course!)

Dying to put ginger into drinks, but prefer to add it to soda water to make gingerale. If anyone has had success with this, please share!

Get a soda stream to make sparkling water. In the water you can add lemons, cucumbers, and any herbs you like. You can add some fruit juices too, like a half cup of apple juice, orange, cranberry. Think of all the different mixes you can make? It's called Fairy water. Magical water to help you loose weight:)

I like the drink packets and the Mio water flavorings for when I got bored with just plain water. My favorite is a generic one from Wal-mart called dragonfruit. The other is Dasani pineapple coconut. I did go through quite a few I didn't like to get to those.

One thing to keep in mind, there are artificial sweeteners involved if that bothers you.

I still drink one diet soda a day if I feel like I want it or I am looking forward to it.

At work I mostly drink water and green tea. At home our water is a little off tasting to me so I flavor it. I get the packets that make a whole 2 quarts of sugar free whatever (Crysal Light, ice tea, etc) fill my cup up most of the way with water and then fill it up the rest of the way with the flavored stuff.

askeates

I'm with you... I need flavor! So I started drinking unsweet tea and added berries for flavor. There are still calories, but they are not empty calories. I also use the Mio or crystal light drops in my water.

Yes. Also this weekend I added fresh fruit to my soda water. I put half cup strawberries, half peach and lime juice in a blender/ food processor, and added it to the soda water and stirred. Called it a fruit fizz. Yummy. My husband tasted it and liked it so much, I had to make him one. Note: this had calories (probably about 70), but you are also getting a serving of fresh fruit.
