    I drink water with Crystal Light singles original iced tea. I use 32 oz of water with each single. I have 3 per day but I'm trying to cut it down to 2. I'm not a fan of plain water.
    I also like green tea (plain) and chocolatey chai tea with a wee little bit of splenda in it.

    I have one coffee per day (instant espresso) that I make with 1/2 cup of unsweetened chocolate almond milk and 1 splenda. That's my treat.

    I drink lots of tea but am impatient of having it steep just right for every cup so I boil a whole 2-3 qt pot of water and add just one tea bag when I put it on the stove, letting it boil a minute or two past the whistle. It is amazing how strong one tea bag can be even in that much water.
    If it is too strong I simply add a bit of cool water in the cup.
    I have ready-to-go tea for a whole afternoon that can be re-heated if necessary or set on simmer if I want to keep it at the ready.

    Left over is put in a container in the frig for cold tea the next day.

    My favs are -
    Celestial Seasonings-100% Natural - Echinacea Complete Care Herbal Supplement Wellness Tea
    It has kept the cold bug away for several years (knocking on wood)
    And
    Celestial Seasonings - Chai Tea- Chocolate Caramel Enchantment- which is pretty much amazing even without sweetner

    I also do Sleepy Time and others for an occasional change up.

    I am mostly drinking water with the exception of some 2% milk here and there and once in a while I will have a nice tall OJ (usually when I am feeling a sugar low) but mostly drink water - I have mostly craved that over anything since my last baby was born in October. Oh and I adore drinking teas but have limited it to 2 times during the day.
  • kool-aid with half a pound of sugar!!

    I will confess...I can't get going in the mornings without at glass of ice cold Diet Coke. Been doing a lot better with the water.
  • I love flavored seltzer water. I buy Canfields or just generic brands....They have lime, raspberry or lemon...Theres no artificial sweeteners, just carbonated water and natural flavors...Still water gets a little boring, so adding the seltzer makes drinking water more exciting :)

    unsweetened tea but add splenda so taht it is sweet! no calories, no sugar, and sweet! or try to get a nice diet soda like coke 0. If you do do juices (which are very high sugar) make sure it is no sugar added (all fruits have alot of natuaral sugar) IN one cup pf no sugar added appple juice you are looking at 29 grams of sugar! IF you are going to do juice, just do soda! okay dont do juice
  • I drink redbush tea, very refreshing and they do honey and vanilla flavours too , all drunk with no milk or sugar and virtually no calories!

    Other than water I drink black tea or black coffee (no sugar). Cut out alcohol as well.

    Decided not to drink any calories (they were too precious to waste on fluids) as it was an easy thing to stick to (after the first week!)

    I make my own fruit smoothies (love strawberry and banana w/ skim milk or soy vanilla) and sometimes with protein powder.

    I start everyday with a pitcher of water and add in half a lemon and let it float all day. Sometimes when I am craving something a little different I will "water down" a seltzer water. I still enjoy my coffee in the morning, it is a non negotiable for me. I also drink loose herbal teas to invigorate my taste buds.

    I drink black coffee in the morning.

    The rest of the day I drink different herbal teas and ice water. The school I attend sent some Ginger Peach tea and it is awesomely fantastic just brewed and poured over ice.


    Last year I gave up those crystal light packets and artificially sweetened teas.
