Crystal Light - Is There An Alternative?

I have tried several flavors of Crystal Light and really do not like any of them. I can do decaf instant iced tea with Sweet n Lo. Does anyone have suggestions for other water-like low carb drinks?

    Mio is really good.

    I love Propel drinks or Vitamin water. Both are slightly sweet with a good taste, no calories , carbs , sugars or sodium.

    I am with you on the crystal light, don't like it! Mio, lots of flavors, even have ones with caffeine in them, cheapest alternative, usually less that $3 for a bottle, makes 24 servings. Disclaimer

I like the "FUZE" drinks; they make one that is very low calorie and low sugar. The crystal light gives me terrible heart burn. My second favorite is the sugar free kool-aid (grape). Good Luck~

I have to second the Mio

Mio, lots of flavors, even have ones with caffeine in them, cheapest alternative, usually less that $3 for a bottle, makes 24 servings. Disclaimer, I think the pomegranate flavor is the worst!

Vitamin Water ZERO, lots of flavors, some with caffeine, find it on sale for $1 a bottle and stock up.

And my guilty, back to childhood, hide it from my coworkers when I mix it up in the break room, No Calorie Hawaiian Punch in regular and grape flavor. Found this at the dollar store, 10 servings!

I love the vitamin water zero!!

I really like ISOPURE - its a protein drink with 40g of protein adn zero carbs. DO NOT get the Mango Peach, it's like blek. The Alpine punch is good though, definitely drinkable. I like to sip on my new protein drink a little all day. That way, I get my protein in without having to choke down a nasty, chalky shake. I am slowly experimenting with other stuff but ISOPURE is nice to have in addition to water. Not cheap tho - $4/bottle (serving). Good luck and good question!

The Mio is good! I also love the Arizona Ice Tea mixes (they're like crystal light)....haven't seen them everywhere yet though!

Edit - I just had a thought; when I worked in a spa they served lemon water and cucumber water. How about adding frozen fruit to water? They'll act as ice cubes and add a little flavour to your water!

Both Wylers and Hawaiian Punch make a sugar free mix in the little singles packets. I really like the Hawaiian Punch flavors

I just had to try the Wal-Mart/Great Value liquid Water Enhancer, it's like Mio only waaaay cheaper. But it depends on what you like. I like sweet drinks and was seriously missing my sweet tea fix when I found the southern sweet tea flavor of GV. It is sooooo awesome that I am actually getting in all my fluids for a change. I also make pitchers of unsweet decaf or herbal tea and take it with me in a to go cup with a lid, which helps to give me something else to drink and I just sweeten with Splenda.

I don't mind the crystal light or the walmart version of them, but I have a bit of a liver issue and I hate to think that I'm drinking aspartame all the time. The walmart water enhancer uses splenda.

That's actually a genius idea. What if you blended lots of fruits together, then froze them in ice cube trays? And fun fact, Cucumber water is so refreshing because there is a chemical in cucumbers that slightly lowers your body temperature. Thats where the says "Cool as a cucumber" came from.

Mio is definitely good. Vitamin Water Zero and Sobe Lifewater's are also good. I also enjoyed diet snapple.

I LOVE vitamin water zero, especially the lemonade flavor. Becareful with Powerade Zero, I drank a bottle then realized it has 250mg of sodium!!

Love reading your posts and suggestions...

I love the Mio but honestly like the taste of the Walmart brand better, no calories no sugar!
