Another caffeine question (lemonade)

ShakeUpTampa

OK so I drink my water (not enough as I am not a thirsty bird but I know I need more and the problem is I hate water unless I am at the gym and well totally not at the gym now lol)....so without crystal light or mio I am at a complete halt. A friend suggested lemonade but this brings me to what kind?

 

Bottled by the juice section? Powder mix? How do I see the caffeine amounts as we all know lemonade has some sweetness to it. I need to figure out something because between the nausea and not wanting to cook I need to up my water intake somehow. I know brands like Tropicana and what not do the lemonade and there are also those frozen concentrates...sending DH to store after work but wondering if anyone can help figure out the best way to go about this so me and the baby get enough fluids.  

 

ETA: One main reason I can't get a lot of water down is acid reflux if I try too hard I just hack up bile and liquid....flavor keeps it down for some insane reason.

I find that just some fresh squeezed lemon in my water helps me to drink a lot more.
I think Chrystal light may have artificial flavoring/ sweeteners and some people prefer to limit their intake of those.

I haven't looked at the labels but I love Simply Lemonade. They have the raspberry and the plain.

Edit: And I agree with PP. With DS1 I would cut up a lemon and squeeze it in my water and then leave it in there to soak. That was super yummy as we

Not sure about lemonade mixes or crystal light, but I am loving water with fresh lemon or line wedges. I also do watered down cranberry juice, like 1/3 juice 2/3 water. For juices I look for no sugar added.

I love water though. Sorry you're

Also, I don't think there is caffeine in lemonade. Sugar does not always equal caffeine. If there is caffeine it should be labeled on the product.

What about watered down fruit juice?

I usually mix fruit juice with seltzer water or club soda.  I do a 50/50 mix or less juice depending on how I feel.

Thanks ladies! I will put some clothes on today then and go with DH (sending him to find something at the store can be a big fat mistake haha) and read some labels. For some reason real lemons freak me out...haha I always use the lemon juice from the p

I drink lemonade whenever I need a switch up from water. I buy the lemonade you find next to the orange juices (like tropicana) but the main thing is it HAS to be pasteurized (and usually from concentrate). Fresh squeezed, unless you do it yourself, leave

I find hot water with lemon wedges helps me intake more water. I was a heavy coffee and tea drinker so I missed my hot beverages. It was hard for me to ingest too much cold water and I found warmer water helped and the lemon flavour gave a great natural

Most of the mixes, powders, concentrates, etc are crap. Loaded with HFCS and preservatives and chemical flavorings.

Try Simply Lemonade. No caffeine or artificial stuff and tastes great.

Why don't you just make your own lemonade?  It isn't hard and if you make it yourself, you can control the sweetness and have complete confidence in what is (and isn't) in it.

I have been trying to chug down as much water as I can. Lately though milk has been tasting so good.

I make a big 2 quart batch if sugar free lemonade and squeeze 2 oranges in it for extra calcium. I use the Hiant brand lemonade mix like crystal light but much less expensive. I call it orange ade and use only half the pack of mix so it isn't so sweet.
