Water Flavor Enhancing Drops

JeanLouiseFinch — Mon, 27 Jun 2022 22:35:15 GMT

I'm not one who believes the 8 glasses of water per day thing, but I try to be mindful of getting in a few glasses a day. I decided that flavor enhancing drops might encourage me to drink more. I've been getting the stevia sweetened kind at Aldi. Today I was at Meijer and they had the Stur brand on sale (also sweetened with stevia). Meijer had some others by Crystal Light and Mio but they are sweetened with sucralose, so I passed on them. Right now I'm trying the Stur Strawberry Watermelon and it's very good. 🥤

When I gave up Cokes at the end of 2020, I replaced them with water. Especially at the beginning I found that flavor drops really helped my craving for "taste" after years of soda drinking. I think what I used was called Water Drops, several of the flavors were really good.

I don't need them as much now, since I've gotten used to drinking more water.

I drink 100oz of water a day, I sometimes use Crystal Light On-the-go packs to flavor my water.

@freakygirl

I love Propel .... also has some B vitamins ..... and it keeps my mouth more moist than regular water. I have a little bit of dry mouth from a med, and plain old water isn't my best water choice.

I drink electrolytes too - usually only one glass a day, never more than two.

I love plain water - from the tap, no less. It's the only thing I drink. I've never tried the flavor drops but suppose I would if the tap water had a bad taste.

I mostly hate plain water unless I'm really thristy. used Mio and others for awhile. Found out I can't drink a lot since they upset my stomach. I'm thinking it's the Citric Acid in them. I only drink soda when we go out to eat. At home, I make a carbonated concoction consisting of Bai, water, and some Simply Pure Lemonade (25 Calorie). When I'm working out in the yard I'll often mix water with a little of the lemonade and then squirt a very small amount of Crystal Light Blackberry Lemonade drops. Then, when I'm done working I reward myself with a Lindy's Italian Ice for some slow rehydration

@bronxgal1 But the plain water in most places has many chemicals, and in my town doesn't smell very good. I use flavor packets even in restaurants because of the smell & price of tea out.

We have our own well, and the water is very good, no weird tastes. It's just boring unless it's a quick drink or I'm taking pills.

@JeanLouiseFinch @Be careful about MIO. I've read many posts from people saying it made them feel ill. Of course, these are just random posts, not anything coming from credible heath sites or agencies.

I won't be buying any Mio or Crystal Light drops, @Mindy D since both contain sucralose. I try to avoid that as much as possible.

I love Stur! The mango flavor is delicious too.
