I am so bored with drinking water. I used to drink 2 cans of soda a day at work throughout the day. I've disciplined my self to stop hat and am trying to drink just water but it is boring. What are some good alternatives to drinking plain water. I just grabbed bottled juice drink and after looking at the label, I think I might have been better off with a soda :smile:

    I have been drinking PowerAde Zero, just one bottle a day, but it has been a nice change up. I also like the Crystal Light packets. I feel that even though some may not like Crystal light because it has aspartame, it still has to be better than not drinking any water at all.

    What I do when I need something different is that I add a single serving packet of 4C's green tea made with slenda or crystal light flavors like peach or white tea.. They sell the individual serving packets in most grocery stores. I usually do this at dinner time because by then I've drank so much plain water I need some flavor. Hope this helps!

    Good Idea! :drinker:

    Walmart has some carbonated water too, in different flavors. I am not too sure of ingredients though, it has been a long time since I have had it.

    I don't mind water. I just say, "this is good for me" and slam it back. I really notice when I don't drink enough water. So that also drives me to drink up.

    I've been experimenting with tea. Lipton has some good ones out there. Anitoxidants etc. :drinker:

    a splash of 100% OJ is good with seltzer too!

    You could throw some fresh or frozen berries in it too. Maybe crush them a little bit before you toss them in. Mmmmm.

    Here are some of the things I add to my water to keep it interesting:

    sliced cucumber and fresh mint, the whole thing, leaves and stem

    lemon and frozen raspberries

    lime and cucumber

    lemon and frozen strawberries

    or any of the above on their own...

    I buy the Wyler's Light Singles to Go. You mix them into your water and they only have 10 calories for a 20 oz bottle of water. My favorites are pink lemonade and cool raspberry. You could also look to the Aquafina Flavor Splash waters. I like them the best because they actually taste like juice, instead of just berry flavored water.

    I found this stuff called "true lemon" at Kroger here (only place that sells it). It has 0 calories & 0 sweetener in it. They also have lime & orange flavored. It keeps me drinking my water.
