Flavor my water pllllllease.

I've never posted over here, but Im hoping someone can help me out. I am so bad at drinking water, so I usually do half crystal light and water. Apparently Im going to grow a third eye from crystal light though...according to a family member. I know its not good for me though. Are there any natural things like crystal lite? I know I can use lemons or fruit, but thats prb not going to happen. I know, Im lame. I need quick and easy...and not make a pitcher of strawberry, apple etc water. Im just too lazy for that. Just being honest. :) Please help and thank you!

Re: Flavor my water pllllllease.

  • Crystal Light has 'naturals' although I have no idea what's in those. You can also just throw some fruit in water and it'll flavor it. 
  • I fill 1/8 or so of my water bottle with 100% juice.  It adds enough flavor to make it drinkable (our water tastes BAD).
  • I usually use a strong flavored juice (blueberry pomegranate is my favorite).  I also use these sometimes.  They add flavor and electrolytes.  They cost $3-7 per tube, not $23 like the page says!   http://shop.nuun.com/tangerine-ginger  All the flavors except for chai are ok or good.

  • Crystal lite PURE is natural.  It has rebiana, which is a form of stevia, and I don't believe it has any dyes etc in it.  Definitely read the label and do your own research, but I think it's pretty good.
  • Lemon. Yes, I know you said you're too lazy for lemon... but I pray you're truly not lazy enough to slice up a few and stick them in a ziploc in the fridge (if you like lemon, not everyone dose). I have a serious water drinking problem, too... and I'm not a fan of crystal light or other drink mix things, so once a week I take some lemons, slice them up, and put them in a bag in the fridge. Literally takes 2 minutes. I put a couple slices in my cup and refill throughout the day without changing the lemons.  

     I also find that I drink more water if I have it in a cup with a straw. I don't know why, some weird mental thing, but if I have a straw/cup, I sip on it way more than just a plain old glass of water.

  • I work for a company that is all natural & has something called a fizz tab.  You drop it in a bottle or glass of water, it flavors it and gives it some bubbles. PM me if you want the info.
