Healtheir alternative to coke?!


Question: Healtheir alternative to coke!?
It's summer time and I find myself drinking a lot more coke then usual, which I think is a problem since it is unhealthy!. During the school year I always take two bottles of water and healthy snacks, and with my dinner I occasionally have a coke, but my routine is all screwed up and things just don't work out that way!.

But what I realize is I just like having a nice cold drink, that tastes good other then water!. I'm fine with water, but I'd like to be able to drink something else without worrying about is it bad for me!.

So does anyone know any good alternatives to coke!?

I tried sparkling water in different flavors but it just didn't taste good!. I'm not into vitamin water either, it isn't all it is cracked up to be!.

Thanks for your answers!.Www@FoodAQ@Com

my favorite drink ever is fuze! its healthy but it tastes like a smoothie YUMMY and u can usually get them every where!.!.!.!.and i know that it would be expensive to drink these all day but every now and then its a GREAT alternitve to waterWww@FoodAQ@Com

For some reason I really like Propel better than Vitamin Water!. There's also those flavored waters, like the kind by Aquafina!. They're not carbonated, but they still have a little sweetness that makes them taste pretty good!.
You could also drink lemonade, but I'm kind of afraid that has as much sugar as coke!.Www@FoodAQ@Com

You need to visit a health food store like Whole Foods or Fruitful Yield!. They carry a gazillion brands of coke like tasting drinks!. One brand I like is Hansen's!. They usually don't have the same color because they lack the caramel color and they are sweetened with alternative healthier sweeteners such as cane juice!. They have some really good flavors and varieties that definitely fill my desire for taste of coke!.Www@FoodAQ@Com

juice its Delicious the reason why your craving coke is cause it doesn't hydrate you it actually does the opposite try drinking powerade also carbonation in any soda stretches out your stomach and also high fructose corn syrup is the most fattening thing you can put in your body its also in soda oh yeah and i agree about the tea if you want to prevent cancer lose weight and build up new enamel on your teeth then drink green tea!Www@FoodAQ@Com

I am a coke-aholic!! What I try to do is 1) drink it from a straw cause then at least it doenst mess up your teeth as bad and 2) Try to drink more water!. Water just doenst cut it tho when you're craving a coke, I know, so I would try sweet tea, it still has the sugar and taste, but if you must drink soda, drink Sprite!.Www@FoodAQ@Com

I agree with the Iced Tea thing!. You could brew your own with tea bags and a pitcher or you can get one of those neat iced tea makers!. You could then add lemon, sugar, or Splenda!.

You could also experiment with different flavors of teas!. I know Lipton has the pyramid teas, and the peach one makes great iced tea!. You could garnish with a slice of fresh peach too!.Www@FoodAQ@Com

Try natural sodas like Hansen's or Knudsen!.

I also like homemade iced green tea flavored with honey!. I make this about 5 times a week - it's great!.

Steep 8 teabags in 2 cups (16 oz) of hot water (just off the boil) for 4 minutes!. Remove bags and add 2-3 tablespoons of honey!. Mix well!. Pour mixture over ice in a 2-quart (64 oz) pitcher!. Add cold water to the 2-quart line!. Mix thoroughly!.Www@FoodAQ@Com

At WalMart, we buy some packets/tubes of some instant stuff!. We LOVE the peach tea one!. They're all sugar free and taste great!. We haven't found one that we don't like yet!. There's all sorts of flavors!.

Oh, it's sold over by the Kool-aid!.Www@FoodAQ@Com
