You all are so good with the healthy drinks! I confess my latest is artificial -- Mio in the blackberry-cherry flavor.

I love the flavored sparkling waters (drinking some now). Also herbal tea hot or iced. Mineral water with fruit or a splash of fruit juice.

I bought a juicer a few weeks ago, and my favorite concoction is celery, cucumber, some spinach, parsley, a bit of gingerroot and an apple. With a scoop of super greens powder added. Yum!

i do coffee with skim milk and natural stevia in the morning. plain old water throughout the day. a cup of pom-blueberry v8 fusion while i cook dinner. a cup of hot earl grey tea before bed.

i just recently switched up my regular breakfast for a smoothie: plain greek yoghurt, skim milk, banana, and whatever frozen fruits or berries i grab from the fridge. pair this with a small handful of almonds and cashews, and it's the most satisfying breakfast i've ever enjoyed!

Oddly enough, I still LOVE the el cheapo Walmart flavored carbonated waters. Used to mix 'em with gin/vodka to try and find the "perfect" mixture. I don't like gin/vodka... I craved their effects though.

So now, I get to actually enjoy drinking them without having that cringing/twinging feeling on the first few sips... I just enjoy each drink!

Lots of seltzer and lime cordial. But when out, I drink virgin strawberry margaritas...love them. Never drank the alcohol versions so it's my tasty treat. I also bought grenadine..and have made Shirley Temples at home too. And fruit smoothies. I'm a beverage glutton lately : )

Water. I'm lucky that I've always loved water and can taste differences in different waters. And blessed to have delicious well water.

Hot cocoa I make myself with unsweetened and organic dark cocoa, almond or soy milk and a bit of cinnamon and chipotle powder added.

Ginger ale, the really strong and gingery stuff.

Limeade, cherry lemonade, raspberry lemonade.

Kefir, which is a liquid yoghurt in yummy flavors like blueberry and pomegranate.

Just tried coconut water the other day. It was a bit sweet but I liked how high in potassium it was, especially as I'd been out in the hot sun sweating.

Good thread, some great and tasty sounding ideas.
