We all know that we’re supposed to drink water instead of soda or coffee all day, but it can be tricky to pull it off. I drink at least 3 liters of water every day, and here’s how I manage it.
First: the water has to be ice cold. Lots of ice.
Second: it has to have more flavor than just plain water. To a 32 ounce (1 liter) Hydroflask I add 2 packs of powdered True Grapefruit. Sometimes I use the Lemon or Lime flavors, but right now I’m fixated on the Grapefruit! This stuff is fantastic – it’s just the essence of the fruit. No sugar, no fillers. And it tastes amazing.
Third: it needs to be a little sweet. Not Crystal Light or Hawaiian Punch sweet, but just a hint of sweetness. So I add 5 drops of EZ Sweetz zero-calorie sucralose sweetener.
And finally: the water has to be always within reach, and that’s why I have a Hydroflask with straw lid instead of a (spillable) glass. It doesn’t leak when the lid is closed, and when it’s open it is easy to drink quickly.
I even have alarms on my watch to remind me to fill the bottle.
Does this sound good to you? I’m drinking some as I type these words and it is so refreshing – give it a try!
