Hey, I only ever drink water with fresh lemon or fresh mint but I did have a drink at a friends place once called Brookes low cal Lemon-Lime concentrate. Add 1 or 2 shots to a glass of sparkling water. It was very refreshing. Not sure on the ingredients. There is also a passion fruit one. It’ll definitely be better health wise than your average fruit juice. 

Just checked on FatSecret. It’s already listed & it’s only 8 cals per serving/drink (50ml concentrate) 

Yaaaay thanks so much! 

You’re welcome 😊 ... I’ve seen it at checkers.  

I don't know if you've seen in most checkers and pnps in the cold drink section there are "water enhancers" that you put like 10 drops in your water and it tastes fruity - dischem also has tony Fergussen ones that are in the weight loss aisle 

I think the brand at checkers is "elvin" and it has naartjie, strawberry, lime, peach and raspberry etc 

I got myself a juicer. I make really nice vegetable juices. You can add a bit of apple to sweeten the taste 

I think just the danger of a juicer whether fruit or veg is it has the potential to add tons of extra calories and carbs for the day, like a smoothie, unless you supplement for a meal entirely 

Ya no I’m definitely not going to start juicing. Good rule i follow is never to drink your calories. And I haven’t had fruit in a while because of the sugar. But I wouldn’t try veggies because I don’t imagine them being refreshing 😃😅 maybe if i go on a cleanse then yes I’ll do the juicing thing. But the sparkling water with those drops sounds like a winner to me 

lipton peach sugar free ice tea 

Green tea with lemon, ginger, sweetener. 

I love the sparkling water with drops 🤪 I try to have 2L clean water with every 1L water that has water enhancers in, and in the evenings with dinner sparkling water and drops  

The bantingchef.co.za has really great drink suggestions which are sugar free. Check out the website 

Water with aloe 

Ice coffee ? 

Lipton ice tea lemon - very low in calories 

Some filter water with lemon slices and strawberries is my go to! And it gives me energy as well. I also make ice tea with mint green tea, filter water and a half a spoon of organic honey:-) in an 800ml- 1ltr bottle  

I love soda water with natural 🍋 juice so refreshing! maybe you can use 🍊 that is sweeter? 

Try kola tonic kordial from Rose's, 30ml is equal to 7 calories with a dash of lemon juice an sparkling water...
