Flavored Water in Water

How can I add flavor to my water without added sugar?

You can add flavor to your water with a squeeze of fresh citrus fruit like lemon or lime. You can add in other fruit or even cucumber and fresh herbs like mint. If you want a sweeter taste than fresh fruit provides, look for drink mixes that come in powdered or liquid form that are sweetened with zero-calorie sweeteners along with other flavors. You can add these flavor enhancers to your water to add some flavor without adding additional calories or sugar.

If you want a caffeine boost, many brands also make waters infused with caffeine or green tea extract.
