I know a lot of people give up sugar sweetened beverages or even soda for a resolution, and I decided to put together a list of my favorite non-caloric, non-carbonated beverages.
Water Enhancers
These are highly concentrated flavor enhancers that are added to regular water to sweeten and flavor it. They also work wonderfully when added to plain greek yogurt or even ice cream! Get creative and make your own cocktails with them!
1. MiO: 10 original flavors, 6 "Energy" flavors, 2 coffee flavors, 5 vitamin enhanced flavors, and 4 with electrolytes.2. Dasani Drops: 6 flavors
Waters
1. Hint: this no-sweetener beverage comes in many different delicious flavors that eliminate cravings for sugar.2. Dasani Flavors: Lemon or Strawberry (more flavors available in the Coke remix machine)
3. Wegmans Wonder Water: unsweetened water in Cucumber, Lemon, Lime, Passionfruit, Blackberry, Pineapple, Blueberry, & Tangerine. (Wegmans is an northern-mid east coast chain)
4. Wegmans AquaZero (their version of vitamin water zero) 5 flavors
5. Vitamin Water Zero: usually fairly easy to find in mini marts and gas stations.
Juices
1. Bai (antioxidant infusion water) made using coffee fruit, it is sweetened with erythritol and stevia. Comes in many different amazing flavors.2. Ocean Spray Diet Juices - 2g carbs per 8 oz. serving. Uses a base of cranberry juice, sweetened with Splenda, and other fruit flavors are added. My favorites are cran-pomegranate and cran-cherry.
