Drinking options other than water?

I drink the occasional diet coke but was wondering what you ladies have been drinking other than water? 

I'm avoiding juice due to sugar. Anybody have some awesome drink recommendations? 

Re: Drinking options other than water?

  • I've been drinking water, half juice/half water, milk, and ginger ale mostly.

  • I really like the Peach flavored Fresca (I said this on another post).  It's caffeine free and low in really low in sodium.  I also really enjoy powerade or gatorade deluted. I put about half water and half gatorade.  That way I am not getting all the sugar that is in a sports drink.

  • I drink mostly water but I also drink 1-2 poweraids a day. If we go out to dinner I might splurge on a cherry pepsiSurprise. I am having trouble drinking milk. First pregnancy I loved it now I have to force myself to drink it.

  • I usually put a little bit of juice in my water.  If we go out somewhere, I have been craving root beer, but that's about it.  Very boring.

  • water with those little water flavor tubes. I think crystal light?

    Decaf iced tea.

    Mainly water though...

  • Beer..... JUST KIDDING

    I like the propel fitness flavored water! Or the aquafina flavored water, I have to watch my sugars as well so it gets alittle tricky sometimes. The life water usually isn't too bad either.

  • I usually avoid artificial sweeteners, but I'm on a GD diet now and I just have to have an occaisional soda. I love Fresca these days, and I got some Splenda-sweetened root beer that's pretty good.

    I also like La Croix brand flavored sparkling water - has no carbs, because it's not sweet at all.

    i'm lucky in that i don't mind drinking water.  but i will drink no sodium flavored seltzer every once in a while-close enough to soda for me but with no extra calories.  read a post yesterday from someone saying she cut up a clementine and put it in her water to add flavor.  sounds good!

  • I usually stick with with either water or a caffiene free soda.  I've also been drinking coffee in the morning (mostly decaf with a little bit regular).

  • Unsweetened iced tea. I also love my lemonade right now but it's loaded with sugar. I'm trying to switch to just having ice water with a slice of lemon in it instead but sometimes I have to grab a pink lemonade at the drive thru.
  • I make a pitcher of unsweetened, caffeine free green tea every 2 days or so and drink a lot of that. I am used to unsweet tea and love it, so if you aren't you may want to add a touch of sweetener.
  • I drink lots of water, apple juice and lemonade. I am addicted to this homemade lemonade made at a resturaunt by my job. II try to limit it to 2 big cups a week.
  • I drink OJ or apple juice daily as a source of vitamin C. I try to buy something that is no sugar added.

    I have the occasional lemonade, root beer, or orange soda if we go out to eat.

  • I slice lemons or cucumbers into a pitcher of water and keep it in the fridge.  I like that better than just plane water.  Lemons are bright and tasty and the cucumbers are refreshing and make the water seem cooler.  I also have mint leaves now that I think of it.  I will add those to the lemon water.  
  • When we go out to eat, I squeeze lemons and limes in sparkling water, so good.  Other than that and plain water, I love Vitamin Water.  The fruit punch and lemonade ones are my faves.

  • Water, crystal light, and milk.  I'm going to ask DH to pick up some low sugar juices this week though.  Every now and then I'll have a mug of "healthy pregnancy" tea.
  • I try to have a glass of milk with breakfast and I drink mostly water the rest of the day.  I will have the occasional Diet Root Beer or I have these naturally sweetened powder packets in fruit punch or lemonade that I will mix with water.  Last weekend, I finally gave in and had a fountain Diet Pepsi at dinner, and it was orgasmic!  I stay away from pop and juice because I would much rather eat my calories :)

  • I drink mostly water, but also drink iced ice occasionally, or vitamin water.  I also like apple juice cut with plain seltzer, yummy.

  • I stick to water most of the time but I sneak in a cream soda every other day :) It's my special treat! I also want to add that I just purchased MIo, the new flavor stuff that just came out. I got the watermelon-strawberry flavor and it's delicious! I love that it's in a nice little bottle that I can throw in my purse and squirt some in my water wherever! I just got over lemon water and drinking it plain so this has been a good motivator to keep me drinking plenty of H2O.
