I try to drink lots of water each day but some days water plain or flavored just doesn't taste good.
On these days what do you drink?
I just made some iced tea and flavored it with a pouch of sugar free drink mix that you would normally put in a bottle of water.
Any other suggestions?

    I usually drink water with a little orange or apple juice (aim for a 7:1 ratio). Or I'll squeeze 1-2 lemon wedges in my water. It tastes good, hydrates me, and keeps my blood sugar steady.

    I also like flavored sparkling waters, such as La Croix, and various kinds of tea.

    I actually JUST did this, and I discovered that it's amazing.

    VERY LIGHTLY sweetened Citrus-Mint Green Tea.

    I boiled about a gallon of water in a stock pot, let it cool about 5 minutes after the boil, threw in 4 green tea with citrus bags and 2 peppermint tea bags. I squeezed in some lemon juice, too. Then I added about 3 tablespoons of sugar to the whole pot and let it brew while stirring and tasting occasionally.

    Then I poured it into a gallon-sized pitcher and stuck it in the fridge.

    It's light without being bland, refreshing without being over-sweet, lightly caffeinated, and I love it.

    I also do unsweetened iced tea with lemon.

    I suggest getting an infusion pitcher. It has a center compartment that you can stick cucumbers, lemons, strawberries, etc in to infuse your water. If I'm at work I'll just slip in a few slices of cucumber to my water.

    Water. Yeah, I know that's boring. But I actually like tap water, refrigerated. I don't like Crystal Light, Mio, or fruit/herb infused water or anything like that...I also hate ice water. It's gotta be fridge-cold or room temperature.

    Every morning I drink 1 cup of coffee with a packet of sweetener and splash of unsweetened original almond milk.

    Some afternoons I drink a cup of tea...I like jasmine, chai, Earl Grey, etc.

    2-3 times a week I drink a diet cola.

    I would love to say water but I drop sodium at an unusual rate so I drink electrolyte drinks usually zero calorie or G2 if calories needed.

    I drink club soda with concentrated cherry in it for flavor. Just like a table spoon. And by cherry concentrate juice I mean the strong stuff. Like Dynamic health is the brand I find easily. Its great for ailments.

    Also water with fresh Myer lemon from the local tree. I love sour so I will some times add the whole lemon. Tastes better then lemonade to me. Also good to add to club soda but watch for the fizz over.

    tea or water unless I am at work, then it's coffee and water. I cannot handle my *drink* so I often have a wine glass of soda and lime if I'm out as it looks like wine and I don't have to sit with proper grown ups with a kids drink (as it feels when I drink D Cola):drinker:

    I usually drink ICE...flavored sparkling water because unless i'm working out really hard, I just don't like plain water.

    I also am trying to convert myself to coconut water...but it's a struggle. I'm not a fan of the taste. But I heard it's good for digestive health. :/

    Homemade "Koolaid". I don't really measure much, but I have all organic, dried Hibiscus flowers, stevia herb, and peppermint herb. I steep 2 Tbs of Hibiscus, 4 Tbs stevia leaves, 2 Tbs peppermint for 10 minutes in hot water then make a 1/2 gallon pitcher of ice cold flavored water. My kids LOVE it. It has great health benefits, tastes good, and is a nice alternative.

    Any of the sparkling seltzer waters are great. I can't drink to ones with the fake sugar, it messes with my stomach. But there are a ton of brands out there. Schweppes, Dasani, San Pellegrino, Perrier, La Croix, Crystal Geyser, Arrowhead, Hansen's, Hint. I love Schweppes Black cherry, and Arrowhead Orange. There is even an energy drink called HiBall that has no sugar, and is similar, but has all the typical energy drink ingredients. Or if you really wanna go hardcore, there is that Soda Stream where you can make your own carbonated drinks. I can't really comment on how good that product is, but I know I've been eyeing one for awhile now. Other than that, tea (plain or with lemon, hot or cold) and plain ol' water.
