Flavoring water
RNY on 01/30/12
I've been using Squeezed (lemonade) Vitamin Water Zero to flavor my water. I don't like the taste of it full-strength, but if it mix about half a bottle of it in 32 oz. of water, I think it tastes perfect.

I use the Wal-Mart brand (Great Value) Sugar free water flavors. I do use the Energy because it does have caffeine. Caffeine is a mild appetite suppressant and I do need some caffeine. There is 60mg per serving so 1 packet has 120mg of caffeine. A standard 7oz cup of coffee has between 85-135 mg of caffeine but I am not a coffee drinker. I took the box to my surgeon and nutritionist and both said they were perfectly safe and fine for me to drink after surgery; your doctors and nutritionists may have different recommendations. I do limit it to 1 a day. But the flavors are wonderful and not quite a sweet as Crystal Light. My favorites are Dragon Fruit, Blueberry Acai, Wild Strawberry, and Grape. I use 1 tube per 32oz water bottle which is plenty sweet for me.
