fatBgone 6 Posted May 20, 2011 I find that I need to change what I'm drinking. I'll get sick of Crystal Light, SF Kool aid, whatever. It tastes good for a couple of days and then I need to switch to something else. But this has been my favorite for awhile now so thought I'd share. Brew some Decaf herbal tea. My favorite is Lemon Zinger although I've used Red Zinger and I have peach in the cabinet that I haven't tried yet. Then sweeten it with no sugar added apple juice. My goal was not to go over 50% juice but I didn't need that much juice. Its very good! Enjoy. Share this post Link to post Share on other sites

Candace2314 117 Posted May 20, 2011 I understand- crytsal light and sugar free koolaid got old really fast. I did something similar to what you did lol. I made a gallon of Decaf green tea and added mango tea to it. It didn't last very long b/c my pregnant sister drunk most of it up. I think I will make some today Share this post Link to post Share on other sites

LilMissDiva Irene 3,282 Posted May 20, 2011 Right now my favorite beverage is the Skinny vanilla Latte at Starbucks!! 90 Calories for the Tall - and the tall is perfect sizing for me. I don't really drink a lot of full strength coffee... so this has me buzzing... lol I usually only have half caff in the am's but sometimes a nice sweet treat is in order.

fatBgone 6 Posted May 21, 2011 You can get the lemon and red zinger herbal teas at regular grocery stores in the tea section. The brand I use and see the most of is Bigelow. Diva, I haven't ventured into Starbucks yet because I brought my caffeine addiction before surgery and I don't want to be hooked again (at least not yet) Share this post Link to post Share on other sites

emily_0192010 168 Posted May 21, 2011 I have never really been a tea fan before but that sounds very yummy. I have recently discovered Powerade zero.. no carbs, no cals and it tastes pretty good! Plus it's a sports drink so it has electrolytes and some Vitamins in it. Share this post Link to post Share on other sites
ladyblue72 0 Posted June 10, 2011 I lovethe " Vitamin water" brand drinks. Especially the Dragonfruit one. Powerade Zero kept my bowels flowing too well! LOL Share this post Link to post Share on other sites
savedbythesleeve 1 Posted June 11, 2011 I love the grape poweraid zero, the Tropicana 50/50 juices, fresh brewed green iced tea mixed with a powdered mix such as pomegrante and berry or tropical mango flavors sweetened with splenda :-) Share this post Link to post Share on other sites
skyblew 0 Posted July 10, 2011 Do you add anything, like powered Protein, to your clear liquid drinks to get your protein? What is a good powered protein to use? Share this post Link to post Share on other sites
