Spice up water......... what do you drink to shake things up?

Sometimes I have a cup of skinny babychino....ups the protein and makes me feel like a grown up!  Also herbal teas, cold water (usually in bottles so I can measure how much I am drinking) and crystal lite fruit punch in bottles that I prepare and keep in the fridge....

I found sugar free hawaiian punch in different flavors.  Reminds me of when I was a kid.  :-)

Making homemade lemonade takes so many lemons what I've been doing is putting 1 quartered lemon and one quartered lime in the food processor with water. Chop for a few times rind and all. I pour into an infusing pitcher -I have that has a strainer on the top. Add more water, put it in the fridge and let it seep. I don't sweeten until I drink it. I also make ice tea concentrate in a 1 qt mason jar. I use 8 tea bags- regular or herbal, and screw just the ring portion on- with the teabag string under it to keep them from falling in. Fill with boiling water and sit on counter until it cools. Throw out tea bags and cover with complete lid. Being it's a concentrate pour some in your glass and then add water and sweetener to taste. Sometimes I mix it with my lemon water. Enjoy!

I use Crystal Light, all flavors ..........UNTIL I found the NEW Crystal Light Sweet Tea..........I am addicted to this flavor and have not used another flavor since discovering this last month.

I sometimes get Nectar protein powder in their fruity flavors (strawberry kiwi, iced tea, etc). and mix that in. Recently I have found that I can deal with the carbonation in sparkling water, so I've been buying the "Sparkling ICE" brand drinks at Walmart for $1 each. They've got a bunch of yummy zero cal zero sugar flavors. Tread lightly though with the carbonation. I know many can't deal with it. If you think it will lead you on a slippery slope to soda don't try it (I was never a soda drinker before). Otherwise, stick with the Nectar! Good way to get protein in.

I like True Lemon Lemonade (1g sugar/10 cal. per serving). Every once in a while, I like to whiz up a strawberry or two in it. True Lemon has unsweetened varieties for flavoring water or tea including orange, lime, and grapefruit. They're all delicious!

I bought an infuser pitcher for about $20 and I infuse all kinds of fruit in it. Change it up when I finish the pitcher. You can even dump a bunch of lemons in the picture let it sit in their and you would have an easy lemonade that you could sweeten to taste. You can also slice lemons and and put in a pitcher that stirs as you pun up and down like a Pampered Chef one and you only need 1 or 2 lemons and that makes lemonade really easy and add splenda or other sweetener to taste. 

I also make pitchers of the passion iced tea from Tazo that they serve at starbucks. So yummy, and great without sweetener. I can't handle the drops any more. 

Try soaking fresh herbs fruits and veggies in it.  I love cucumber in mine....or apple slices
