ways to flavor water

kalymae

Hey all, I am looking for anything product or something from the house, that is a low calorie way to flavor my water.... i want to try and get away from the crystal light as i prefer to get my aspartame from my diet coke. (i know i know, but i just cant give it up). So i looked at the nestea low cal crystals but again they have aspartame, the teatly infustions things look okay but for a bottle of water it would be 100 calories, and i was hoping for less... I realize at home i can just add fruit, but im looking for ideas for work/on the go, that can be used in water bottles rather than cups.
thanks

Use sugar free squash. Don't know what you have over the pond but here Robinsons, or supermarket own-brand squash is really common and the sugar free varieties taste the same but less than 10 cals if you make up a 500ml plastic bottle in the morning. It's also really cheap - you can buy a litre of double concentrate squash for about £1.20, it doesn't take up much space, store it at work (school for me!) and dilute it as you need it and it'll last ages! My fave flavours are summer fruits, orange and mango or tropical fruits.

I had a $1 off coupon so I just bought a Mio. It's so good and you only need a tiny squirt to flavor your water! I'll definitely be buying it again.

I've used TruLemon or TruLime. They come in little crystal packets or in a small bottle and they are 100% real juice.

5 calorie crystal light on the go packets are my favorite!!! I keep a box at work raspberry lemonade is the best!


Oops I just re read and realized you have already tried these. Best of luck!

I just add fruit to my water and let it sit overnight (but drink within a couple days). Try, strawberries, oranges, lemon, lime, peach, cucumber.

Also crystal light has a PURE version that doesn't contain aspartame. I tried the grape. I'm not a fan of it. There's still a lot of food coloring and chemicals in it but, no aspartame. A friend of mine swears by it though.

These are great!

I like to slice some oranges and let it sit in bottled water over night. Or I'll add some mint leaves and let sit overnight. It's a refreshing summer drink. Good Luck!
