I know it's not the most healthy, but there are times I just can't stomach plain water.  I'm off aspertame and was wondering people's opinion on Mio.  I don't normally use the full "serving" size, but dang I like it more than plain water and helps me get more than 72oz of water in a day.  

Thoughts?

I just looked on their website and it says

Each of MiO's nine flavors is:

Calorie-free per 8 fluid ounce serving
Carbohydrate-free and considered a free exchange
Sugar-free
Free of artificial flavors
Kosher
Gluten-free
Cruciverbalistic
Tasty
Good-looking


SO I think it's OK for low carbing.

 I personally LOVE the Mio flavorings!  In fact, I just found a new flavor (0range Tangerine) that makes me feel like I'm drinking an orange soda without the fizz. yumm.  My other favorite is strawberry-watermelon.    I used to drink tea all the time but now it's mostly Mio.  

Btw, Walmart has their own cheaper generic version of Mio too.

 Thanks, everyone!
I didn't know about the walmart brand :)  I'll look for it next time I go.

I TRIPLE LOVE THE ORANGE NOW!!!!!  Sometimes I'll mix berry with orange or grape.  Also yummy.
