My ideas
- I take a regular koolaid pack (WalMart GreatValue 10cents) Lemonade. Mix it with 1.5qt water and 1 heaping TBS of Stevia. Add in a touch of vanilla, and it's a non-carbonated cream soda. Take the fruit punch koolaid, Stevia and add in a shot of sugar-free raspberry syrup. I make my own with stevia, raspberry extract and water. 0 calorie and 0 carb,

Kool-Aid + flavored seltzer
- I buy the unsweetened Kool-Aid packets & use my own Splenda (or store brand sucralose) to sweeten it. I keep a pitcher of the Kool-Aid in the fridge, plus 1-liter bottles of store-brand flavored seltzers (unsweetened & no sodium), and mix them in the glass with an ice cube or two. VERY refreshing when I come home from work in the summer, walking from the train station! Otherwise, I'm a tea drinker. Either regular Tetley/Red Rose, or the Bigelow brand Constant Comment or Earl Grey, or Celestial Seasonings herb tea. By the way, their "Zinger" flavors make delicious iced tea!

Emergen-C
- My Favorite at this time is the Emergen-C flavor powders. Most are 1000 mg Vit C and flavor water wonderfully.

Refreshing sugar-free beverage
- Trader Joe's sparkling waters - lime, mandarin orange and raspberry/lime are my favorites. When chilled, the fizz is perfect for quenching my thirst and refreshing me.

Coffee "Milkshake"
- I pour some almond milk (about 1 1/2 to 2 cups) into a glass, add instant coffee crystals, sweetener, a dollop of heavy cream, and add sugar-free flavoring syrup and/or spices. A little bit higher in carbs, but a nice treat!

Good drink
- My favorite 'safe' drink is to make a pitcher of 2 containers of lemonade Crystal Light, add 1 cup of orange juice and keep in the fridge. Tastes just like the lemonade my mother used to make.
