Trying to limit diet soda while also trying eat healthy and reduce calories is like having your teeth kicked out by a mule then attempting to eat tree bark with no teeth. I need ideas for drinks... yes... calorie free drinks. I drink water (with lemon or cucumber). I also love tea and typically drink unsweet decaf no prob. I love Earl Grey and green tea (which I mix with this awesome box of vanilla tea I found at HEB). However, I need new ideas. I also have a rule that I don't drink calories. If I am gonna waste the calories... I wanna sink my teeth into something!! Help? Ideas?

It may not be to your taste, but one thing I will use as a replacement for soda is to get some carbonated water (flavored or not, but unsweetened) and add a tablespoon of hershey's syrup. It's still got calories, but not a ton, and you get the bubbles and carbonation, and it hits that sweet tooth spot. (for me anyway).

Interesting... I will have to give it a try. Who doesn't love chocolate?

Hershey's also comes in sugar free for 10 cals per 2 tbsps.'and 4 net carbs .... I use zero calorie flavored sparkling water with a squirt of Mio or the other water enhancement liquids (under 10 calories - usually none) which you can get in vitamin enhanced and also energy with B12 ...

Celestial tea make a lemon ginger tea that is excellent. Also white tea is very tasty. Has a natural sweetness.
