    mmmm..... crystal light raspberry lemonade only 5 calories and no sugar! Way better than boring water plus I can easily drink 8 bottles of it a day! It's not that expensive either plus my daughter likes it and it's way better than juice.

    I like flavouring water with fruit and herbs. A few ideas:

    'Pimms': half a lemon, sliced; portion of cucumber, sliced; half an orange, quartered; a handful of strawberries, halved; a handful of mint leaves, crushed.

    'Lemonade': juice of half a lemon, a handful of crushed mint leaves.

    Pink and fruity: half a cup of frozen berries.

    Place the ingredients in a large jug; pour water in and stir; refrigerate for a few hours or overnight. Poured through a strainer before drinking (unless you like floaty bits) and add ice, if you like.

    If the jug's empty by bedtime, you know you've had your 8 glasses.

    (I also drink the odd glass of unsweetened almond milk or coconut water and, of course, umpteen cups of herbal tea. And a large latte every couple of weeks - gotta have treats now and again.)


    Pink and Fruity sounds great!!

    I am type 2 diabetic so I've quit everything non water as of this past Feb. I drink plain water, coconut water, sparkling water with fresh fruit, lemon water...I've always been big on drinking water so it's not a huge deal for me.

    Diet green tea, all it has in it is sodium. So I wouldn't drink to much of it. I believe it has about 170mg of sodium per 16 oz bottle.

    Tea
    Coffee
    Milk (dairy or unsweetened alternative)
    Sparkling water with a dash of lemon or lime and sometimes some frozen berries - let them bob around like ice cubes and then eat them at the end :)

    Young coconut water is great! It's a little scary at first to buy the coconut, but it's not too difficult to crack open and once you've tried it, you'll never go back! :)

    This is what I also do. And tea...hot and cold home brewed, no sugar.

    Tea, milk, milk alternatives.

    I don't wanna start a war....but, powders and potions you add to water is not clean eating. I am surprised at a lot of peoples ideas for clean eating beverages. Real food doesn't come in a packet.

    THANK YOU!!!!!

    A slice of ginger and juice of half a lemon with boiling water first thing in the morning and then all day long. I might add some raspberry leaf tea into it later in the day.
