I know it is good to drink enough water each day. I am really struggling to get enough, getting tired of plain water, and not sure which water add ins are the best. There are so many available now in the grocery aisles but are they adding sugars and preservatives that I do not want? Feel free to share which kinds are best or tips for consuming enough water each day.
Thanks!
Thanks!

I stick a cup under the tap and raise it to my mouth. Slightly tip and swallow. Pro tip: if you tip the cup too much it may run down your chin.0
-
I drink a lot of iced tea. It has also reduced my craving for sweets.0
-
I have a 32oz. water bottle that I fill up multiple times per day. I add lemon juice.0

Ugh I can't make myself drink water either. I wish I could :-\0

I add Elete electrolyte add-in to my water. Gives it a little flavor and adds electrolytes.0

I like to add cucumbers to my water it's so refreshing0

i drink mine's straight, nothing added! It becomes habit after a while, but what is helpful is to drink water when you eat, just with your meals vs. soda/juice. That helps me, because I cannot just chug a bottle of water in one sitting0

If it's a workout day I naturally drink enough because I need it. I drink like 4 cups of tea at night too. As long as my pee is very light I assume it's enough.0

I've got a gallon jug of water in the fridge and refill it as needed for easy access to cold water. You can try those ten calorie drink pouches if you need some flavor. Tea and coffee are also good0

I'll put lemon or lime slices in my water. Cucumber sounds wonderful too!0

I drink a lot of tea. That helps. I try and drink one bottle of water 500 ml before each meal. That's one way to get it in. Once you build a habit of it, you won't notice it anymore and it's great. Getting that habit built is hard.0

I used to drink a lot of soda. I trained myself to like sparkling water and now buy it by the case when it's on sale at Costco. When I need a change I squirt lime or lemon juice into it.0

I do sparkling water as well. I tend to do lime or lemon flavors to stop the boring water flavor. Also, if you do sparkling water its a good idea to check the label for artificial sweetners and sodium. My favorite brands are Perrier (expensive
) and Arrowhead. Good luck finding what works for you!

I like seltzer water.0

I carry a 750ml bottle with me everywhere I go, and refill it as I need, sometimes around 6-8 times a day.0
-
I use crystallized lemon. It comes in little packets like a pink or blue sweetener so I can carry it in my backpack or purse for whenever I refill my cup. Much easier than using real lemon slices when I am on the go. Not very many stores carry it, but the ones that do, have it in the sugar or baking aisle.0

I keep a water bottle by my bedside and another at work. I start with a tea in the morning. I fight boredom so if straight water is boring me I add a spritz of Mio or lemon juice. I also like Biosteel because it is pink so is pretty well guaranteed to horrify my daughter.
