Tired of plan old water

I need suggestions on low calorie, thirst quenching drinks. I will be honest and say I am not a fan of water. It is too boring for me. However, its all I seem to be drinking, besides my morning coffee, and I am feeling like I need to change it up sometimes. I can tell that drinking water is helping in my new lifestyle, so I will continue to drink plenty of it, but what do people do to change up their drinks through out the day ?

Add lemon or drink unsweetened tea.  If you're going to add sweetener, use Stevia, since "fake" sweeteners can actually cause you to gain weight, by making you crave more sweets.

Stevia is all natural and has zero calories.

Try herbal tea! There are alot of different herbs which tastes wonderful without any added sweetener. And it can count as your daily water intake because they aren't dehydrating:-)

I go for the fresh 100% fruit juices, either Apple or mango & orange. Check the container doesn't say " made from concentrate" and check the lable it's 100% fruit. I use the Innocent brand.  smoothies is another option if you like them you can make your own 0:)

I like Zero, which is a zero calorie Powerade. It does contain "fake" sugar, which isnt very good for you, but it also has all the good for you vitamin and mineral electrolytes - a bonus! Especially if you are exercising. :) Lots of flavors.
