Try sugar free kool-aid or any of the regular kool-aid's mixed with splenda
to have it sugar free.

I love Propel Fitness Water or Fruit 2 O. They come in alot of flavors(
lemon, orange, black cherry, peach, berry). Without them I would never get
64 oz of water a day. Good luck!!

Try the Isopure Zero Carb drinks . . . they can taste a little sweet, but
the variety isn't bad (particularly given that they'll give you about 18
grams of protein with each bottle).

How about sugar free Tang? I have been drinking this for taste and it's
YUM! I just sprinkle a small amount into my glass, add 2 packets of
Splenda..some ice and enjoy!

Propel is very yummy and good for you.I love the lemon flavor.When you put
it in the freezer for awhile it gets all slushy.

I drink Aquacal. A little better flavor than Propel in my opinion and no
calories. I like the Lemon-lime and Black Cherry flavors the best. It
also comes in strawberry, peach/mango, raspberry as well. If you can't
find it locally, you can go to www.meridianclear.com.

I had the same problem and found a WONDERFUL solution. I bought at Walmart
a shaved ice machine ($16.88) and ordered sugar free snow cone juice from
hawaiianshavedice.com. Lots of flavors (sugar free) to choose from. I
have 2 a day in a huge tupperware cup. I use about 45 ice cubes at a time,
which alone is about 5 cups of water melted down. This has been a lifesaver
for me!

I like the Fruit20. The only flavor I don't like is the Berry kind. I
think they have lemon, strawberry, and a citrus one that is like an energy
drink. I was told though that this is not a substitute for the plain water
you are supposed to drink everyday. 8-8oz glasses of water daily in
addition to other drinks. I also have been told that you should drink two
glasses of plain water for every one glass of something you drink that has
lemon in it. Something about diuretics? (not sure on spelling) Good luck!

Somewhat different from an earlier poster, my dietitian says I can count
anything that is water-based and does not have caffeine, sugar, or bubbles
in it towards my liquid intake. Milk-based drinks only count for 1/2. I
use s/f syrups in water, or add them to s/f Koolaid or Crystal Light to
punch up the flavor. The s/f syrups are available on-line in case no
stores in your town carry them. I've found that vitalady.com has had the
best consistant prices on the DaVinci brand syrups, but others might be
having sales; shop around. Also, on the advice of my dietitian and
contrary to a previous poster, I sometimes add a little lemon juice or lime
juice to very cold water. It gives it a little zing that makes it easier
for me to drink. Since there seems to be some controversy over what counts
towards water intake, you might want to run these ideas past your doc or
dietitian first.

I live on Kool-Aid; mix it with Splenda (25 or 30 packets, depending on the
flavor) - it is cheaper and tastes way better than SF Kool-Aid made with
Equal.

If you can find it, sugar-free Tang is also a good alternative.
