I try to drink lots of water each day but some days water plain or flavored just doesn't taste good.
On these days what do you drink?
I just made some iced tea and flavored it with a pouch of sugar free drink mix that you would normally put in a bottle of water.
Any other suggestions?

    I usually drink water with a little orange or apple juice (aim for a 7:1 ratio). Or I'll squeeze 1-2 lemon wedges in my water. It tastes good, hydrates me, and keeps my blood sugar steady.

    I also like flavored sparkling waters, such as La Croix, and various kinds of tea.

    I actually JUST did this, and I discovered that it's amazing.

    VERY LIGHTLY sweetened Citrus-Mint Green Tea.

    I boiled about a gallon of water in a stock pot, let it cool about 5 minutes after the boil, threw in 4 green tea with citrus bags and 2 peppermint tea bags. I squeezed in some lemon juice, too. Then I added about 3 tablespoons of sugar to the whole pot and let it brew while stirring and tasting occasionally.

    Then I poured it into a gallon-sized pitcher and stuck it in the fridge.

    It's light without being bland, refreshing without being over-sweet, lightly caffeinated, and I love it.

    I also do unsweetened iced tea with lemon.

    I suggest getting an infusion pitcher. It has a center compartment that you can stick cucumbers, lemons, strawberries, etc in to infuse your water. If I'm at work I'll just slip in a few slices of cucumber to my water.

    Water. Yeah, I know that's boring. But I actually like tap water, refrigerated. I don't like Crystal Light, Mio, or fruit/herb infused water or anything like that...I also hate ice water. It's gotta be fridge-cold or room temperature.

    Every morning I drink 1 cup of coffee with a packet of sweetener and splash of unsweetened original almond milk.

    Some afternoons I drink a cup of tea...I like jasmine, chai, Earl Grey, etc.

    2-3 times a week I drink a diet cola.

    I would love to say water but I drop sodium at an unusual rate so I drink electrolyte drinks usually zero calorie or G2 if calories needed.

    I drink club soda with concentrated cherry in it for flavor. Just like a table spoon. And by cherry concentrate juice I mean the strong stuff. Like Dynamic health is the brand I find easily. Its great for ailments.

    Also water with fresh Myer lemon from the local tree. I love sour so I will some times add the whole lemon. Tastes better then lemonade to me. Also good to add to club soda but watch for the fizz over.
