    The only thing I add to water is MORE WATER!!!!!! :)

    Seriously, after a few days of it, you get to like the "health benefits without the costs" feeling.

    a wedge of lemon or lime... I've also thrown an herbal tea bag in when I fill up my bottle at night. The next morning, it's 64 oz of deliciousness! hehe

    I like it ice cold - but I also add that Mio stuff at times. I like a squeeze of the fruit punch and a squeeze of the lemonade mixed in.

    I saw this on TV the other day, Cut up watermelon into 2" squares, Freeze on a cookie sheet then put in a Zip Lock bag and use as ice cubes in water or any other drink. Thanks Rachel Ray!

    Been adding Mio. I don't care for plain water unless I'm really thirsty.

    Adding sweeteners to water adds calories, what we don't need. Also makes you crave something else sweet. Try this idea....put a small piece of fruit in an ice cube container then fill with water to make ice. I have the ice cube container that is smaller, allows me to put the cubes of ice in my water bottle for my walks. I allow myself a few ice cubes in my bottled water, and when the water is gone, I have a nice surprise at the end. Cherries are really cheap now, and so are blackberries and raspberries. One berry or cherry per ice cube is great. Virtually no calories, and it makes me want to finish the water so I can get my "treat".

    A cup. I had pnemonia and something else which resulted in severe dehydration as a small child. They forced me to drink water in the hospital. I knew I was getting better and very proud when I was drinking a glass of water. Ever since then, it is the only thing I drink (that doesn't have alcohol in it). I am picky, a lot of waters suck, but I ****ing love water. Nothing is as deliciou and refreshing as plain ice cold water.

    No ice cubes that have been sitting in the freezer, either, they taste funny :tongue:

    I just add lots of ice and a squeeze of lemon juice. Ice cold water tastes so good.

    Can't believe nobody has mentioned the True products...

    True Lemon
    True Lime
    True Grapefruit
    True Orange

    No artificial sweeteners, no calories. Delicious (except the orange...i'm not big on oranges in general though).

    These are the ones made by Crystal Light with Truvia, right? This is what I use, 30 calories for the packet. I use one per day, usually lemonade, sometimes mixed berry. I've never seen lime, grapefruit or orange. I would love lime. When I'm not drinking water, I drink lime seltzer.

    Keep it plain! I do add BCAAs twice a day on training days.

    Mostly plain water. But occasionally, I will take a propel packet, some crystal light, or that MIO stuff.

    I'm really obsessed with plain old water. I probably drink at least a glass every 20 minutes or so.. a lot. Sometimes I chug a full litre, sometimes I chug a couple cups.. don't try to taste it, hydration is about hydrating. I love the feeling of it flowing down when my stomach is empty, so refreshing!

    I don't drink water during my workout.. I drink this Rockstar - Energy Drink - Sugar Free 473ml


    I only drink water after or during the day.. plain water.. is fine with me..

    The only time I drink plain water for some excercise activity is if I am doing some long cardio or at dehydration risks...

    I love lime but I do suffer from citrus allergies and have to be careful. I also add blueberries, grapes, cucumber and celery leaves. Just a refreshing mix to increase the variety in my water on occassion. Most days I drink it room temperature and lots of it. Since the temperatures have been in the 100s, I have been adding ice. Ahhhhhhhhhhhhhh! :drinker:

    I don't mind my water plain, but I'm actually picky about the brand bought. Some waters taste better than others....

    I turn that water into iced tea or I put in it the freezer until it's as cold as it can be without being ice.

    If I have to drink room temp., plain, it better be Smart Water!
