I don't like the after taste of diet soda but I do enjoy sipping on no cal/low cal drinks besides water so I'm always looking for new things to try. Recently I've been turned on to adding a teaspoon or so of balsamic vinegar to sparkling water and I find it surprisingly good! If there is a vinegar tasting place near you I recommend going and trying the unique options available (I picked up some raspberry white balsamic vinegar at mine). I also drink coffee, tea, la croix, and kombucha fairly often.

What other beverages do you all enjoy? I'm also looking for healthy smoothie recipes too

    I have never liked diet drinks in my life, but my husband started drinking Coke Zero Sugar the help transition off regular Coke and I tried it a few times. It's surprisingly tasty. It seemed to have a little after taste at first, but I don't notice it at all anymore. It's become my go to soda choice when I have a hankering for it.

    Coffee, water, iced tea, diet soda (cola, root beer, Dr. Pepper), the occasional sparkling water (La Croix or whatever).

    I don't care for diet soda either. Artificial sweeteners taste so weird. I drink lots of club soda or sparkling water. I love the fizz. It's good with a slice of lemon or lime. I drink coffee with half and half, a bit calorific, but yummy. Also, herbal teas. I must have five different kinds in the pantry. Plain iced tea is good in summer.

    OK, I am fascinated by the balsamic in sparkling water thing. What made you even try that? I love vinegar and will drink pickle juice. I drink sparkling water all the time, usually with a squeeze of lemon or lime juice but I have never, ever thought of putting balsamic in it. I'm going to try it.

    As others said I really like coke zero. Clear American brand sparkling water is very good, I like the lemon and the lime ones. I also like to add lemon juice and ginger powder (not ground ginger) to ice water. I also drink a lot of different varieties of hot tea that quickly becomes room temp tea throughout my work day!

    I like Ocean Spray Diet Juices. Both by themselves and mixed with Prosecco.

    I've been drinking Diet Pepsi. Of course, water is better for me, but I'm trying to drink more water! I tried some of the new diet cokes. The mango one was really good, but I did not like the orange one. I've tried La Croix....it's ok.

    I typically drink water, tea, coffee! However, when I crave a pop I will drink Sevia or a Coke Life.

    I like diet Dr Pepper. I used to hate diet soda but I started drinking it as a way to save calories and now i actually prefer it and don’t like regular anymore.

    Black coffee, tea, coconut water. I was downing too much coffee at work, so now I drink mostly plain hot water.
    In the evening, I drink rooibos vanilla tea instead of snacking. It's naturally caffeine free, and I find it is very relaxing.

    Tea first thing in the morning, coffee mid morning, water through the day, another cup of tea when I get back from work and a herb/fruit/green tea in the evening. Wine on the weekends :smile:

    Water, Water with lemon, La croix, tea, coffee, a good glass of wine, or a really strong beer. The wine and beer have a decent amount of calories but if you drink them sparingly or save calories to log for them they give you something to look forward to.

    You pretty much listed what i like to drink. I am always trying new sparkling waters. Waterloo is new to my area and it's so delicious. I also like Hint water. I may have to try the vinegar thing, since I also love Kombucha. I drink black coffee and unsweetened iced tea with lemon. And bring on the wine Thurs-Sat!

    I drink a lot of water but when I want flavor I go for iced tea, usually with lime and mint and sweet n low. Rarely do I drink coffee and I try to avoid soda unless we’re out to eat. My husband loves Coke Zero, I think it’s not great but it’ll do if you like diet drinks.
