Any Crystal Light kind of drinks made with splenda?

I have such hard time getting enough water, and I love the idea of adding one of those pouches of Crystal Light to the water bottle and still get my fluids without a ton of calories, but I try to avoid aspartame (more so b/c of headaches). ?Any brands use splenda instead?

Re: Any Crystal Light kind of drinks made with splenda?

  • Not that I know of.  I used to drink tons of crystal light before I got pregnant.  Here are some of the things I'm doing --

    - Club soda with Torani flavorings.  These are the type of flavorings they have at Starbucks for coffee.  You can buy them at World Market.  Da Vinci is another brand.  They make all sorts of flavors, so I make my own peach, raspberry, etc. soda.

    - Club soda mixed 1/2 and 1/2 with juice

  • Juice will get you water. So does fruit, iced tea, milk, etc. You don't have to be literal with your 8 glasses of water.

  • I use Low Sodium Soda Water, Ribena Black Current & then mix it all with a splash of Tropicana's Orange/Grapefruit. Tastes like a Fizzy Shirley Temple but you can adjust the overall sweetness.

    I know, I'm trying to avoid a ton more calories with juice. ?I do drink skim milk, so that helps.?

  • Club soda mixed with juice is good. You can get light juice, and some of the light juices have splenda. But they aren't 100% juice then...
