I want to quit soda and am looking to wean my self off. I am not a coffee drinker nor a tea drinker. I am seeing if anyone has good ideas for low calorie drink that just tastes good. Maybe even a concoction you make yourself. I find water to be boring but want something sweet or at least Tasty. I am open to ideas but keeping cost down would be GREAT.. Thanks.

Flavored Seltzer or club soda. Zero Calories. I drink the plain Seltzer.0

Infused water... healthy and inexpensive as you make it yourself

Why don't you try Zevia? Tastes really good but no sugar. And no funky chemicals.

I drink sugar free kool-aid and it works great for me.0

i like adding the sugar free low calorie drink flavorings to bottle water. that way its the best of both worlds your getting your water intake but its not just the plain old boring water taste.0

I got myself off soda using seltzer water. It doesnt taste great at first, but it creates the same effect/feeling as drinking soda.0

Crystal light!! Yum!0

Seltzer water too cause I need the bubbles!!0

Water? Or 1/4 cup of any juice (I like cranberry), and then fill the rest of the glass with as much soda water as you want. =D It's home made pop with nowhere near the amount of sugar, with some vitamins.0

I too use alot of crystal lite flavor pkts to add to my bottled water ... also try carbonated waters in diffrent flavors ... sometimes I need that soda feeling too and I drink that and it usually helps ... good luck0

Crystal Light. My husband and I like the Peach Tea, but they have other, nontea, choices.0

I use the crystal light packets, and there is even a few flavors with caffeine, which is the hardest thing for me about cutting down on pop as much as I have. I've been so used to the caffeine, that if I don't have any, I'll get a nasty headache0

Try buying Coke and Coke Zero, and mixing them together. That way you can get used to the taste, with much less calories. It's still soda, but easier to quit I think.0

I am addicted to MetroMint water. All the flavors are awesome, but the chocolate mint is pure heaven. Just water, mint and chocolate essence = 0 cals and NO artificial sweetners.
Yummy and super refreshing after a big workout.0 -
I love arizona lemon iced tea Stixs. Bottle of water and one stix. YUm0
-
You could try Flavored Carbonated Water-It runs about 60 cents and comes in many flavors-Also Crystal Light has alot of flavors too0
-
I've been squeezing a key lime into club soda. YUM!!!0
-
i always drink crystal light. love it! or to make water a bit more appealing i add lemon and lime to it and it gets a nice refresing taste that's a bit more appealing0

Minute Maid Light Lemonade has just 5 calories in 8 ounces and tastes great!0

Water with Stevia Drops. I use Grape. Stevia is natural sweetener that comes from a plant. I would suggest taking this opportunity to wean yourself off of chemicals as well as soda...including artificial sweeteners found in Crystal Light. You'll feel much better. You can get the Stevia Drops at Whole Foods or that type store, but I've found them cheaper on Amazon. Here's a link:
