Hello! I would like some ideas on things to drink. I'm getting a little board with what I've been drinking and I was wondering if you all had any different suggestions. I've been drinking water, lemon water, cucumber water, crystal light (I don't really care for it), life water. I would greatly appreciate it. Thanks and hope you all have a great day and weekend :)

There are a lot of herbal teas that work well as iced tea and don't require sweetener. Grapefruit or mango ones, or a mix of a berry and mint is nice too. 

But I mostly just drink plain water, and sometimes a decaf coffee with skim milk and a bit of stevia in the morning.

I've never seen grapefruit tea!  I might like that...

Yeah it's tasty! David's tea has one called pink flamingo, which is my favourite. And teavana has one too, but I forget what it's called.

I never liked flavored hot tea. Now I actually do.

I never liked hot drinks before my surgery (except creamy hot chocolate ala calorie)... but now I'm a tea-addict.  I put in one packet of organic Stevia for a sweetener (great deals on Stevia at Costco).

Right now my favs are Cinnamon Stick, and Cranberry Apple.  Both are wonderful hot, or served over ice.

I make a concentrate of decaf green tea for making iced tea. 8 tea bags to 1 quart boiling water, pinch of baking soda... let it steep til it cools, I do it in a mason jar. I add ice, water and Peach Torani syrup to sweeten and make peach green tea.

I don't like strong flavor, so I buy the 5 calorie Ocean Spray Cranberry juice, and some of the flavors of Vitamin Water Zero and mix ice, water and then top it off with those. I also like Bai 5 - but it is more expensive than Vitamin water... rarely goes on sale.

I drink hot tea and flavored coffee, in addition to different flavors of Crystal Light Liquid in my glasses of water.

My favorite water flavor stick is Tru Lemon and Tru Orange. Look for the all natural ones with 0 cal. I don't like Crystal light much either, this is much more subtle, not very sweet, taste like spa water

Mio Berry Pomegranate.  I couldn't stand Crystal Light because it's too sweet.  This has enough tartness to counterbalance the sweet.  It's the only thing I add to my water daily.
