Flavored water - Mio and Crystal Light ok??

Question

I am having a hard time drinking so much water. I was ever a thirsty person to begin with. Now having to drink practically a gallon a day seems nearly impossible. Not to mention when I'm nauseas it's REALLY hard to force water down my throat. I've been adding Mio and crystal light to my water. Does anyone know if that's a bad idea?? I know the whole red dye thing is an issue but it's the only way I'm able to stomach so much H2O in the day! Does anyone know if it's safe??

Answer

Drink juice ... Do half water half juice ... Might help

Answer

I use Propel water flavoring. My favorites are Berry & Kiwi Strawberry. There is no sugar in them and they are perfectly safe! They also include extra vitamins & minerals.

Answer

I thought about doing it when I was pregnant but ultimately decided not to bc the sugars were so high or it had bad artificial sweeteners that I don't eat anyway. There is a flavored water called hint that's pretty good. A water bottle with a fruit infuser could be your ticket.

Answer

The ingredients in those things are awful. You're much better off using a small amount of 100% fruit juice or real fruit. Berries work, lemon if you like that, and recently I've been adding oranges to mine.

Answer

I make lemon water with raspberries. Use an infuser bottle fill with water, splash of lemon juice, fill the infuser with frozen fruit, enjoy!

The artificial sweeteners in those water additives aren't good for you or baby.

Answer

If it has artificial sweeteners I wouldn't use it. I know Crystal Light does but I've never used Mio.

Answer

I've been reaching for flavored water a lot myself too! Just be sure to check for aspartame.

Answer

The Mio "says" there's no sugar or caffeine but not sure how trusting that is. I've done lemon and cucumber water but it gets old really fast. I guess I need to suck it up and just drink the water!

Answer

I'd say all the artificial sweetener in there isn't good for you... Yuck ... but if you like it ya there's no problem with it ... Watch caffeine intake tho less then 200 mg a day I know the crystal lite peach tea has 15mg per 8oz serving .. I know the make mio energy and stuff so just be dilligent

Answer

I don't know much about either of those but another suggestion is flavoring your water with fruit. I will also put a splash of 100% juice in with my water for a little added flavor. Just watch the sugar levels of whatever you're adding.
