let down about a new possible drink

megs52881 · January 2012

Water tastes great to me, but I am bored of drinking it all day. I gave up soda, coffee, and tea. For a while I was LOVING juice, but I am scared I will pack on the pounds with all those empty calories.

I was home today on vacation and watched Dr. Oz. He made homeade rootbeer using seltzer, agave syrup, and sarsaparilla extract. I was so excited to try it. I spend 10 dollars on the extract from Whole Foods and came home and made a glass. It was disgusting. It literally made my mouth water as if I was going to puke. Just wanted to warn anyone who may have seen the episode and was looking forward to trying it.

Back to plain old water! I may get fancy tonight and throw a lemon in it.

I know how you feel about water I too gave up other drinks, I am just sick of the taste or no taste rather it's getting yucky to me. I have been putting lemon in it as well and lime if I have some. Lemonade can be good too as long as there isn't tons of sugar in it.

I'm doing the lemon trick too and making sure my water is really really cold. Have you tried crystal light? I drank a lot of it while I was on a diet because I sucked at drinking water.

You could also try cucumbers in your water. It is very refreshing.

I mix OJ or Cran with club soda when I want something fancy

Or, you can flavor your water with any fresh fruit/veggie. Cucumber, strawberry, and watermelon are my favorite.

doesn't crystal light have artificial sweeteners, though?

Have you tried sparkling water? I like sparkling water with a splash of lemon juice or lime juice. I mostly don't want soda, just the bubblieness of soda so this works perfectly for me.

ETA: Water with lemon slices, fresh basil, and fresh mint is super addicting, too.

Yeah I second the club soda w/ a lemon or lime slice.

I have been doing water with lemon, lime, or cucumber in it. Every once in a while I have some sort of juice or a non-caff. soda. You could also do non-caff tea (I like passion tea.)

Crystal Light Pure doesn't have any artificial sweeteners in it. I've been drinking the lemonade!

Yeah I love the idea of a water flavoring, but I don't eat artificial sweeteners I gave them up years ago. Cucumbers are more up my alley. I will have to stop being so lazy and cut a few. Thanks girls!
