What are some good low cal beverages to drink besides water? Sometimes I get tired of water and want a little flavor, but I definately don't want to turn to soda like I usually do in the past. Any ideas are welcomed!

    Water, fresh cut lemons, and if you aren't against artificial sweeteners, a packet or 2 of Splenda...instant homemade lemonade, no calories :-)

    Flavored Seltzer waters or Club soda with lime/lemon. Or even cucumber and mint.

    Eh, the last coconut water I had was about 80 calories per serving.

    80 delicious and worthy calories, IMO :love:

    unsweetened tea and coffee. I found a spicy herbal tea that I love, I could drink it all day long and the flavor is strong enough that sweetener isn't even needed

    i dont think the zero does.

    to me it tastes sweeter and more like regular coke than the diet varieties.

    give it a shot, you may enjoy it.

    Have you tried True Lemon/True Lime packets? They're crystallized citrus and taste way better than bottled stuff.

    I don't have a problem with artificial sweeteners, so I buy a lot of Mio, too.

    ETA: I loooooove grapefruit Perrier, too.

    No, I haven't, but where can I find that at? Mio isn't bad either. I love my metromint waters though

    Every grocery store in my area sells boxes of the packets down the "natural foods" aisle (next to the stevia-sweetened sodas, almond milk individual serving boxes, that kind of thing) or sometimes next to the water enhancers like Mio.

    If they're available near you, I'd suggest Hubert's Lemonade (the diet ones are like 20 cals per bottle and they're all natural and imo don't taste that much like diet) and also Honest Tea makes some really good low cal options. Their Moroccan Mint green tea is amazing and 36 cals per bottle.

    Add fruits and/or mint to your water. I also like to make a refreshing drink in the summer by juicing watermelon and adding mint and blueberries to it.

    QFT. My favorites are the Teal and the Green. They have bizarre names that I haven;t bothered to learn, so I go by color :) They're also super cheap- 10/$1 compared to 8/$3 Crystal Light. Some of the flavors (Red and Purple) I can use half a packet per 24 ounces of water.

    Orange is disgusting. It's the only one I absolutely can't drink.
