Are there any flavor packets for water WITHOUT artificial sweeteners?
I bought a little box of raspberry flavor packets for bottled water (Kroger brand) after standing and staring that the huge selection at my grocery store for a few minutes. I couldnt' find any that were not sweetened with aspertame or splenda. I reluctantly grabbed one with aspertame because I really dislike splenda flavor. It's ok tasting because I only use like 1/4 packet in a 20 oz bottle, but I wish it didn't have artificial sweeteners in it. Is there something like vitamin water flavor packets or something? Something that just adds a tiny bit of flavor? Is there any natural alternative? Should I just add a tiny bit of fruit juice to my water and call it done?
a lemon or a lime - next to no calories and adds flavor to water.
The BEST solution (that I've found and become a huge promotor for):
Herbal fruit teas. Needs to be added while the water is hot... but it can be consumed hot or cold! You get a fruity zippy flavour with zero sweetness and zero calories and zero caffiene.
I keep a box at my desk at work and a box at home full of sampler flavours to that I get variety! Celestial Seasonings is the brand I buy - raspberry, apple cranberry, peach, tangerine, and black cherry. I probably consume four giant mugs a day of the stuff! Of course other brands have good fruit tea flavours too - I just like the variety pack!
And if I get pulled away into a meeting... it still tastes good an hour later when its chilled!
You can also try squeezing a little bit of orange juice into your water it is much healthier for you and it adds a little bit of sweet to the water. ![]()
I've seen these at Target, but haven't tried yet.
If you put tea bags (try some fruit flavored herbal ones) into a jar, pitcher, or bottle with cold water and leave it in the fridge overnight, the tea will brew. I usually have a pitcher of tea in the fridge that I've made this way. I find that it doesn't need any sweetener but if I do want some I'll put some stevia in there. It doesn't give you the instant convenience that the packets do but it is a lot cheaper and healthier than they are.

I went "there" and found that they are also sold at most Safeways! I will check them out. Thanks for the link!
I use the packets of True Lemon and I love them! It seems kind of expensive to me, but it has an awesome refreshing taste - it isn't sweet.
