After discovering how much sugar was in my fav juice I have been on just water. Don't get me wrong I love water but I like to have something with a bit of flavour now and then too.

    "Coffee" with "milk" - brewed chicory with almond milk. I started drinking chicory when I did the candida diet and not even decaf coffee is allowed, and I surprised myself by really liking it. And it's supposed to be good for you, though I admit I haven't read about how.

    I also drink various herbal teas, and I love black tea with a bit of whole milk.

    Make a huge cup of herbal tea (eg peppermint, chamomile, green) and sit the tea in it til it's cool and very concentrated (dark colour). Then dilute it in 2 litres of water and put it in the fridge.

    It's tea and it's cold - but it doesn't have all the yucky chemicals which are in 'diet iced tea.' Plus since you've made a huge vat you don't have to worry about the hassle of making a healthy drink 10 times a day. It's just as easy as pulling the 2Litre Coke out of the fridge (like I used to do).

    Alternately,
    1 tbsp of fresh lemon juice in water.

    A little splash of fruit juice to water helps me! Normally some kind of citrus for me. A slice of orange squeezed in water is amazing! :D

    Ice Green tea (homemade, no sugar)

    and the best of all, just plain water with fresh lemon juice on it.

    You can put some fresh melon, water, ice, blend! very nice taste!

    How to Make Sassy Water

    If you are bored with drinking plain water, or don't like the taste, try this belly-flattening recipe for sassy water that not only tastes good, but has ingredients that will help you de-bloat. Mix together 2 liters (about 8 1/2 cups) of water with 1 thinly sliced peeled cucumber, 1 thinly sliced lemon, and 12 fresh spearmint leaves (or 1 tsp dried mint), and 1 tsp freshly grated ginger root. Stir them all together and leave the pitcher in the fridge overnight. The next morning strain the water into a different pitcher to enjoy. For maximum de-bloating benefits, drink the entire pitcher by the end of the day.

    If you miss your juice, add 1/4 cup of juice to 3/4 cup of water. You'll get the flavor without all the sugar and calories. You can also get TrueLemon, TrueOrange, or TrueLime crystals. No calories, and each individual packet gives you 25% of your daily vitamin C. I use one packet in 24oz of water - soooo refreshing!

    Also, you can add some sliced cucumber and fresh mint leaves to water - also very refreshing!

    Almond milk! Although be warned – it's so rich, it tastes like a dessert.

    I drink all sorts of teas on a daily basis. Black tea, green tea, rooibos tea, and herbal varieties (peppermint, orange, lemon, etc) are all necessary for my survival.

    Having a little bit of cordial with water is a good alternative.
    Aloe Vera juice is awesome, but don't get the mainstream brands they pump them full of sugar. Get that foreign into ya!
    And of course, mineral water. That stuff gives the 'fizzy fix' while still being water.
