I am trying to cut out soda, and I don't want to replace it with crystal light or something similar. I drink at least 100oz of water a day, and I like water just fine, but sometimes I want something with a little flavor to it. I've done lemon/orange/cucumber/etc in my water, but I'm looking for suggestions for something more juice...Please don't just suggest juice, I know that is an option :wink:
But if anyone has suggestions for what they drink that is natural besides water, I'd greatly appreciate it!

    When I crave soda, I fill a cup with seltzer water and add some cranberry juice just for the taste. Hits the spot everytime. Hope this helps!

    seltzer with a small amount of natural juice. the bubbles help trick you so you don't miss the soda.

    I bought a glass pitcher on Amazon that I use for tea. I really love mint tea... and I'll put it in the fridge to get it really cold. Sometimes I'll add stevia. Good stuff! Seltzer water is good too.

    i thought i would get bored of water so i stocked up on sugar free summerfruits squash 2 mix with it but now i crave water and drink it all the time ive hardly drunk any squash! I tried green tea years ago because i love fruit tea but i hated it, but recently i tried green tea with apple and pear and i really like that, its really good for u 2, sometimes i let my friut tea go cold, chill it and drink it with ice just for a change. :bigsmile:

    I found Metromint water at the Earth Fare store - the cherry/mint and the chocolate/mint are awesome. The bottles are 16.9 oz & were $1.25 each. But well worth it. The flavor is from extracts and essences - no artifical stuff. Very yummy.

    Tea is good, but watch out for the sugars. I usually just do unsweetened iced tea, and if I feel like I need sugar I can add my own.
