Some days I just can't seem to get my water in. It's just not ...good.

For anyone that flavors their water in any way, what do you use??

    You don't have to get your water from pure water.

    Juice, tea, coffee, etc

    I use all kinds of Crystal Light, name brand and generic. You can also add a little lemon juice to your water.

    True Lemon or True Lime are my go-tos. Also seltzer instead of plain water. Seltzer with True Lemon is dabomb.

    I got one of those sodastream things a couple of weeks ago as a gift. I don't like any of the flavorings, but do love the carbonated water with a packet of True Lemon. I'm consistently drinking a liter or more of flavored seltzer a day, coupled with a couple of cups of coffee and a couple more of tea.

    I like to add the packets of powdered True Lemon or True Orange in mine. They're really convenient for me to carry in my purse.

    I've tried the True Lemon and really liked it. I didn't know there were other kinds as well. I'll have to look for those.

    Thanks for all the ideas so far.

    I like the lipton black tea and honey packs they are made for 16 oz bottles and are 10 calories. They dont have the weird after taste either.

    Fruit is great for adding a little pizzaz to plain water. Frozen berries are like flavored ice cubes. A slice of cucumber is nice, too.

    Green and herbal teas are a nice alternative, too. Many of them are yummy hot or over ice.

    Water always tastes great with scotch.

    Seriously, I use fresh lemon wedges in mine. Only 3 calories for a quarter wedge.

    great value brand fruit punch. it's cheap, delicious and doesn't have that weird 'artificial' after taste. i typically don't like those shake-em-up things you put in water but that fruit punch is kickin'. lol.

    I'm not a big fan of water, but ice really helps. The colder my water is, the better. Also, I usually drink a glass of water shortly after brushing my teeth. It's the best way for me to get to my water goal. It's nice and minty.

    I like to cut strawberries or cucumber ( I know but try it), into a jug of cold water.
    Also fresh mint floating in it makes it delicious! Try it overnight for max impact.

    I use the Lipton Tea & Honey packets. Mango/Pineapple & Apricot/Peach are my favorites.
