Debating Crystal Lite

I'm not doing too well on the water drinking front. I'm actually thinking of going back to the crystal lite. I gave it up long ago when I was first pregnant. You can't drink it because of the aspartame, I decided I didn't need the chemicals either once I could drink it again. I also found it hampered my weightloss. This all sounds stupid for me to decide to go back to drinking it doesn't it?? But I just feel really stuck right now.

Anyone know of chemical free alternatives? Organic possibly, drink crystals, do they make that?

As I'm typing I remember my father always made suntea, maybe I should try that instead. Sorry for this obscure post, I think I made my own decision. As you can see I resort to coffee most of the time, lol.

But if you know of organic drink crystals please suggest!

I am curious to know what you are going to get as answers. I would like some good ideas too.

What about just a squeeze of lemon, lime or even orange to kick it up a bit but avoid the chemical badness of crystal lite?

You know, I hadn't even considered this before (because I'm a dolt whose brain is made of swiss cheese), but at work we always have a water cooler with lemon, lime & orange slices in it and it makes the water absolutely WONDERFUL. I wonder if letting a pitcher of water settle with melon balls would work too ... or mango ... hmmmm ...

These are great ideas! I would like to back off the crystal lite-type stuff, too!

I remember reading somewhere that a person used Crystal light to clean out their dishwasher....haven't touched the stuff yet. I love water plain as it is.

during my last meeting, someone asked about the WW drink crystals as she is allergic to aspartame and it apparently is sweetened with sucralose...you could try that...but that water with lemon or lime slices sounds marv-y!!!
