Sick of Soft Drinks! What else can I Drink?!


Question: I can't take the sugar anymore but can't have drinks with sodium either. That means no Gatorade or other sports drinks. I would like something that is not harmful to the body for someone who has very high blood pressure. Any help is greatly appreciated. Thanks.

P.S. I know water is good but I can't stand Arrow Head brand (it tastes like cold tap water!) and haven't found one I really like. Your thoughts on great tasting bottled water is appreciated also.

How about a nice, cold glass of milk? Certain fruit juices are 100% juice with no additives (read: sugar), but you have to read the label.

Dasani is my favorite of all bottled waters...it has a few minerals added to give it some flavor, something other brands are missing.

tap. get a brita

I hate the taste of that water too..I get those large reusble bottles and fill them up at the grocery store. It tastes great!!

piss

How about Vitamin water, or talking rain has flavored water, try drinking milk, soy milk, rice milk, those are pretty good as well. I like drinking natural fruit juices/smoothies without any added sugar.

try flavored water or propel... unless those fall into the gatorate catagory too, or else those crystal lights on the go packets that you put in your waterbottle

iced green tea

what about propel?

Flavoured milks aimed at diabetics- so artificially sweetened skim chocolate milk, for instance.

Still has lots of calories, but from milk not refined sugars.

Fiji is great tasting water in my opinion I switched to club soda when I got sick of soft drinks

How about some Milo's Tea sweetened with splenda? OMG.. it's the best.

water

drink juice!

my favvvvvorite bottled water... AQUAFINA! :)

i saw you said you cant take the sugar anymore.. my husband doesnt like to drink soda's because the sugar causes a flem kinda stuff to build up in his throat ( gross, i know) and it makes him gag.. ( its so funny.. hahaha) so he drinks lemon water... the lemon is acidic.. so it cuts through flem.. haha. he has a rrreally bad gag reflex so just the tiniest bit of whatever has him dry heaving.. again.. ha! sooo.. if you have sugar build up flem.. drink some lemon water.. but dont put so much lemon that it makes it super cloudy.. just a little.

squeeze lemon.... that's not too sweet
