Yummy No (or Low) Calorie Drinks?

[urquie]

We like these crystallized citrus packs in carbonated water... I used to take the packets when traveling, to make hotel tap water taste better. :-).

Spindrift is great too, we buy it when Costco has it on sale. For a cheaper alternative, we like Costco's Kirkland brand sparkling water.

A glug of any juice is great in sparkling water... but especially Costco's Kirkland brand organic refrigerated orange juice. :-) They also sell a refrigerated pomegranate juice that is great.

We drink Kirkland sparkling water, Bubly sparkling water, and Vitamin Water Zero in our house. I also flavor plain water with cucumber slices, Lemon slices, fresh mint, and/or fresh ginger slices. I hate drinking calories!

What do you like to drink that doesn't have caffeine? I suppose it could be a diet soda, carbonated water, herbal tea, but I'm also really curious if any of those flavor packets are any good? I like crystal light lemonade flavor well enough but not nearly as much as Pina Colada Zipfizz!

TIA!

I'm not crazy about non-nutritive sweeteners - I can taste them, so I don't do the diet soda thing due to the different aftertastes or signals I pick up. For example, aspartame (NutriSweet) has a metallic flavor to me and a bitter aftertaste; saccharine (Sweet & Lo) has an intensely sweet flavor, but a strange chemical flavor; sucralose (Splenda) also has an intensely sweet flavor, but a bitter aftertaste; and then there's stevia ... bitter and cloying.

I enjoy flavored seltzer/sparkling water (peach, lime, mango-lime, orange-pineapple, and tangerine-lime are my favorites - we get the Wegmans store brand and I think it tastes better than LaCroix ... cheaper, too, but Wegmans isn't everywhere!), and home-brewed iced herbal tea - my favorites are Celestial Seasonings' Zinger teas.

I also drink a lot of hot tea, whether it's Earl Grey, spiced chai, or herbal, to cut through mucus in my throat.

Like others have said, sparkling water with a splash of whatever juice is in my fridge (usually limeade or pomegranate juice) feels like a treat to me!

I do love sparkling water. And I love herbal tea (specifically mint!)

Does anyone have a great coconut or peach flavored drink flavor that DOES NOT have either tea or caffeine in it? I keep finding things that look good but they are either a tea, or they have caffeine!

(Can't have anything with black or green tea because of religious reasons--no coffee either!)

All of the brands mentioned like LaCroix come in flavors like that. They don’t have caffeine.

I like La Croix but it doesn't taste at all like crystal light. I will keep buying sparkling water but the flavor is very subtle. I want lots of flavor and am looking for something more akin to Crystal Light. People keep mentioning Mio so I'll take a look at that.

I've made my peace with artificial sweeteners too. I don't eat a lot of sweet stuff but I'd rather have splenda or stevia than sugar.

You might enjoy True Lemon, etc. They have quite a few flavors and are pretty flavorful.
