    I make green tea with orange slices and cinnamon. I use 4 tea bags with 2 quarts of hot water, 1 sliced orange, and a teaspoon of cinnamon. I let it steep for 30-45 minutes and then chill it in 1 quart bottles. It's a nice break from water and crystal light, the orange adds a lot of flavor, and cinnamon is supposed to help regulate blood sugar.

    Drink mixes that you mix into water.. A lot of drink mixes are made with aspartame which I can't have, but there are some without. Target has some great all natural ones made by Archer Farms. Walmart has some made with stevia. There's still a few calories but not a ton. :)

    I like Vitamin Water Zero. No calories and lots of vitamins.

    Another vote for coconut water! It's low in cals and has many health benefits in addition to being a great after workout drink. I drink it even on days that I don't workout. Just make sure to check the ingredients that it's 100% coconut water, nothing else, no added sugar, flavors, etc.

    Wow--I had no idea there were so many great options out there! When I started w/ MFP, my liquid pantry consisted of Pellegrino, Ketel One, and tonic. (Well, there might have been a FEW more items, but not much.) Coconut water? Never head of the stuff but I will certainly check it out. The tea recipes--oooh, some of those sound delish! And I totally forgot about Crystal Light--that stuff is still around? I used to drink that decades ago.

    I cannot thank you all enough for all of your suggestions--they are a HUGE help.
