Have you tried adding frozen or fresh fruit? It flavours your water and then you can also eat the fruit once you've finished0

Is this not a thing in America? In Norway I can literally go to the grocery store and pick from 30 different flavors/brands to add to my water.

I infuse my water wth fruit. BUT lately I'm hooked on Nestle Pure Life, carbonated water (in a can.) No aspartame, No caffeine. Zero calories. I like the mango,peach,pineapple flavour. Also a rasberry,lime. I've found in in the water isle as well as pop isle in store. Plus it's filling due to carbonation. Comes in a 12pk.0

Here are a couple of links on flavoring up your water (the Jamie Oliver link in the first site is broken so I've provided one that works):

How much sodium?0 -
It doesn't take much to flavor water for me. I often add an ounce of grapefruit juice or an ounce of many other beverages- Orangina, pink lemonade. If I'm out, I'll pour a little of whatever hubby is drinking- i.e. Italian soda into my water.

Propel packers are the best!0

Sugar-free Kool-Aid, Crystal light, or the generic equilvalents0

Even though there's really no difference, it might be worth a try...0 -
Make it tea.0

I have a Soda Stream and drink sparkling water with a squeeze of lemon or lime juice.0

La Croix sparkling water. Zero calories, zero sweeteners, zero sodium, and tons of flavors to choose from. Took me from drinking 2-3 cans of diet soda a day to no soda at all in no time flat.0

I like to mash up some mint leaves along with some lemon slices. Or, mint and mushed up strawberries is delicious too.0

Well played, sir.0 -
I use a product called True Orange, True Lemon,and True lime, depending on which I have on hand. It is crystallized whatever fruit you choose. I use that and stevia and it tastes like lemonade or limeade.0

Filter it through ground up beans of the coffee plant. You can drink it hot or cold.0

I have never seen this in America, but we have sparkling ice. Flavored water, zero calories, lots of flavors.
