However, being pregnant, I need some other options. No caffeine. No alcohol. It can be tough to find something refreshing and without a lot of calories and sugar. I can't switch from Diet Coke to Sprite. I might turn into a sugar cube.
I really only have three water-alternative-go-to's ...
Does anyone have any other good options that don't have caffeine, alcohol, or tons of sugar? Do tell!

The Crystal Lite packages are way too sugary for me...and when I try to put half of the packet in...I can never get the right consistancy in my water bottle. My new thing is "True Lemon" and "True Orange"...its the same concept, but it tastes like you've squirted a lemon or orange slice in your water. Very refreshing!
I also brew my own decaf ice tea...not too bad and totally helps my craving!
I still do one soda/day though....at home I do Rasberry Lemonade and Ginger Ale.....in a wine glass of course.
On my no alcohol kick, I've also tried to curb my sugar and caffeine.... I'm pretty sure the diet sweet leaf teas are sweetened with Splenda. And I think the Light juices like Cran Grape are also sweetened with Splenda. We can look when you come over tonight. I have those things on hand!
oooh and do you like coffee?? You could do a decaf iced coffee at home? That sounds kinda yummy and refreshing.
i'm confused. why do you have to give up the water?!
haha. I don't have to give up water... I just need some other options. Water gets a little old when it's almost all you drink.
mix 3/4 glass of fresca with 1/4 glass of pomegranate blueberry juice. and i promise you it tastes even better through a straw, so go ahead and get one. mmm, happy sipping!
