I’ve been drinking a lot of soda stream with diet tonic syrup and ice with lemon. Very nice!

I mix these. Mostly green tea topped off with hibiscus herbal tea to sweeten it. Pour it in a tall glass with ice. Tastes great, refreshing and not much sugar.

This was a random purchase today and I honestly thought I was going to drink them occasionally because they were probably really sugary but turns out they’re extremely refreshing and they’re only 1 g of sugar and a lot of vitamins. I don’t remember them being like that when I was a kid maybe they adapted with the times and made them healthier? I’m going to keep these stocked at all times from now on. This is definitely a good summertime drink when I want something besides water.

I’m certain the ones I remember from my childhood were definitely loaded in sugar. They were sickly sweet like McDonalds orange drink just in different flavours and the flavours tasted like colours not fruit 
. These and hotdogs was pretty much what was served at any kids summer birthday back then lol

Yeah exactly they’re not like that anymore they’re actually really refreshing. I think they are better than Gatorade. And there is a small amount of sodium and B vitamins so these would be good for after A work out or anything in the sun. Good for replacing electrolytes, It’s kind of like a slightly water down vitamin water

Gotta do what you gotta do especially in the beginning! The sugar definitely helps alcohol cravings. But still I think that’s good you’re mindful and you don’t want to drink too many of the root beers
Way better than the alternative

I heard that back in the day they used to give people honey, tomato juice and sauerkraut when people were coming down off of alcohol binges Like in institutions. The honey helped with probably the cravings and jitteriness, the tomato juice for the vitamins and the sauerkraut probably for digestion maybe or something. I just know that honey and sugar is really good in the beginning helping with alcohol cravings

Definitely. That happens when your body is lacking certain vitamins you’ll crave things that have what you need. I’ve heard stories of people being shipwrecked or stuff like that and they eat the craziest things and come to find out it’s because their body needed whatever it was

I’m sipping my usual ice tea/lemonade drink.
I was at the store earlier to pick up coffee for the morning. There was a guy in front of me with a full cart unloading his stuff to get checked out. I only had the coffee. I wasn’t paying attention when he picked up my coffee and handed it to the girl and asked her to scan it. I guess he felt like he didn’t want me to have to wait. He handed it to me and said that’s on me.
I don’t think he realized it’s expensive coffee.
It’s roasted in the town of Duluth Minnesota. I was born there. St. Mary’s Hospital. Same one Bob Dylan was born in.
It was nice of that guy.

Fruity cereal protein shake
By the brand Alani
I mainly get their energy drinks and energy sticks but I did not know they had protein shakes
I’m not going to lie it does taste similar to when you drink the milk after finishing a bowl of Froot Loops

New flavor- good stuff. I like this brand of energy drinks. I rarely drink them but sometimes I like a little extra pep

@Runningfree Have you ever tried these hydration tablets? They are extremely refreshing and convenient for carrying around in the little container. I always keep them in my book bag.There’s barely any sugar but lots of electrolytes And there’s a bunch of different flavors. I like the lime and watermelon kind!!

I haven’t tried those brands but I use Liquid Iv and recently tried LMNT and both are really good. They are little packets so the tablets might be a little more convenient. My last big race I did they gave a package of the LMNT samples as part of the goodie bag. I’m still working through those and trying the flavors

I never heard of LMNT . I’ll have to look that up. My mom has actually introduced me to a lot of things like this because she does a ridiculous amount of running like 5k and all that stuff and even the half marathons or whatever. I don’t do any running but I do go to the skate park a lot and I also ride my bike. But honestly living in Florida and not having a vehicle I need this stuff just to walk down the street lol. I’m not knocking any other hydration products ..I think I’ve pretty much tried them all and I definitely have liquid IV at my house actually but ever since I tried the nuun I prefer them now. It’s really refreshing and now everything else seems way too sugary Or bad tasting. They have sodium, potassium, magnesium, and a small percentage of a couple other things. I just looked at the back of the container and it’s only 1 g of sugar. In my opinion they actually taste good too.
