I am craving juice! I'm sick of drinking diet soda all the time, and I hate drinking water, but I can't seem to find any juices that are good for me.

Does anyone know of any juices that are ok to drink - I don't want to load my body up with bad-for-me ingredients!

    All 100% natural juices do not have anything bad for you in it...just a lot of calories. If I'm really craving juice I water it down a bit so it's not as sweet. Juice is WAY healthier than diet soda if you're worried about putting bad for you ingredients in your body.

    I know it's not really juice..but I buy those Crystal Light individual packages..I like the Strawberry Lemonade Flavor..all you do is dump one of those in a bottle of water. I am not a water lover..so it makes it much easier for me! :happy:

    I agree with ashnichole. Usually juice's have a lot of sugar. Gatorade is a good choice too. Not too much sugar but it has sodium. check out diet snapple too.

    You can always take juice and add soda water 50/50 ratio. It gives you the fizz of pop (soda) and is only half the calories of drinking straight juice.

    Agreed. I like the Gatorade G2 or the Crystal light packets - Walmart has some generic ones that have more varieties of flavor I like.

    I'm not a huge water lover either and I was a diet coke addict. I've found that drinking seltzer, flavored either with some juice or just with lemon or lime wedges really satisfies the "fizz factor" I crave, without the calories.

    I also use the Crystal Lite packets for something sweet. What about hot or cold herbal/fruit teas with a touch of Splenda? I love hot tea in the winter. Hope this helps.

    Completely agree with sarahjhov and ashnicole3! I've always preferred reg soda over diet soda (can taste the sugar substitute) and I was getting to where I was drinking too much (avg 4-5 cans a day), but I noticed when I drank more water my craving for soda decreased to the point where I haven't had a soda in over a week and I'm not missing them! And I'm not missing them because of the flavor packets; they're awesome! They have many different flavors to choose from and there's no sugar and zero calories and definitely helps when I want something other than bland water.

    Having been sick all week, I ONLY wanted juice. I settled for the tropicana 50. It's not quite the same as a regular orange juice but it is pretty close.
