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?

    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.

    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.

    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 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.

    ^ 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!
