I'm getting tired of straight water. I love my diet pepsi but im trying to stay away. Are the crystal light flavors good for you? I need something to add to my water to give it a little flavor!

    I love crystal light! I use it in my water quite often. I also use Mio or the Walmart brand Great Value. Both are great!

    I wouldn't say they're good for you. Depends how you feel about artificial sweeteners.

    What about lemon
    or a wee bit of salt
    or tea
    or coffee

    I'd say diet pepsi and crystal light are about on equal footing. Unless you are trying to avoid caffeine.

    The artificial sweetener part isn't great, but I the cals and fat and so on. Better than soda. But I don't use the regular Crystal Light. I use the energy, the antioxidant, and some other one. They came in a bundle box with different ones. Mango Peach Tea, Strawberry, and Pomegranate are the ones that's in it. I think just those 3. Also, I have yet to try this, but I've heard a lot of people say it's great. It's Apple Cinnamon Water. Has natural sugar in it from the fruit. No added sugars. :)

    I love cucumbers in water with a drop of mint extract. If its not cod - its not very good.

    Diet Pepsi is my weakness...I am working on getting off of it myself, I can drink a lot of water and still drink a ton of soda on top of it! lol

    When I get sick of water, I make myself some tea from lemon-ginger and chamomile tea bags. The chamomile adds a bit of honey-like sweetness and the spiciness from the lemon-ginger makes me miss added sweetener less.

    I don't have an issue with artificial sweeteners so, for me, Crystal Light is a great way to flavor my water.

    I buy the generic pink lemonade packaged for Walmart (Great Value). To me, it tastes just like Crystal Light, but at a much cheaper cost. I usually use a packet a day in a 2-quart pitcher (8 cups).
