I have a sweet tooth. I like soda. Grew up drinking soda and that fucked me up as to be expected. I need a good alternative that satisfies my sweet tooth. The most success I've ever had was with this PewDiePie drink: https://gfuel.com/products/pewdiepie

It's very good but it's loaded with caffeine. So much caffeine in fact that I would have thunderous shits after drinking 2-3 16 oz bottles of water with the powder in it. It was just one scoop per bottle.

I'm just looking for something like that that has a pineapple punch kind of flavor but without the caffeine and hopefully a little cheaper.
 
maybe try mixing pineapple juice with coconut water? pineapple juice by itself is really sweet and really acidic, and coconut water by itself is blah, but maybe they would balance each other out. you can buy packs of small, single-serve cans of pineapple juice, and coconut water comes in those resealable terrapaks, so it would be fairly cheap and easy to try. you could also add a bit of lemonade to round out the punch flavor.

personally, i drink quite a bit of the costco brand of lemonade that comes in a two-pack.
 
Iced herbal tea is easy to make, cheap (especially if you get store brand or steal bags from work), and you can sweeten however you wish. Make it in a pitcher with 3-4 bags, and since it's herbal tea you can leave the teabags in when you put it in the fridge; there's nothing to oversteep.

"X Zinger" are just "hibiscus plus X," but it doesn't sound like you want to get autistic about mixing your own tisanes. If you do, you can buy dried hibiscus on its own.
 
Sorry, but you'll have to drink water. Get sparkling water if you feel like it. Look for a pH that your stomach is OK with and a trusty brand that extracts it from springs with a reputation for being regularly tested and clean.
You'll get used to it.
There are no alternatives, you'll have to kick your soda/caffeine/sugary drink addiction, it's not even remotely hard, consider that people have kicked coke or fentanyl addictions.
Best of luck.

Presiona para expandir...

lemonade is my favorite, but i drink a lot of iced tea, too. i brew a 32oz. jar of water with a couple of family-sized bags of luzianne and about a tablespoon of sugar every other day or so. during the summer, i'll let it steep in the sun on the porch, sometimes with lemon or orange slices. imo, sun tea is the best tea.
 
Fruit juice = soda. It's not good for you.

You want to cut out all sugar and end up drinking unsweetened iced tea that has a small amount of caffeine, zero caffeine herbal teas, or plain water. In the meantime you could try flavored sparkling waters, iced tea mixed with a little fruit juice, or find a SodaStream on clearance to add carbonation to whatever mixture you want. You didn't mention the carbonation but you probably crave it.
 
i like lemon and ginger tea, only one brand does a good job of it tho (twinings). It has no calories or caffeine so there's no negative consequences of drinking it constantly xd
 
Try Switchel
I make some all the time and it's great.

Also a good one most people don't realise is a proper mug of tea COLD, I do this as well and it's really refreshing.

Nothing beats good old water, but there are good alternatives you can make at home without spending much / any cash.
 
I know you said no water but I use those Mio water flavoring products quite a bit. They come in a ton of different flavors, some with caffeine or taurine if you need an energy boost, taste pretty good and satisfies my sweet tooth without the sugar overload. Try those
 
Get a blender bottle, fill with 17oz of water, put whatever drink packs you want from the store. Not fizzy like soda, but gets the job done for cheap.

Also, sprite zero has no caffiene.
 
Drink water you silly bitch, use a filter if tap water bothers you. Alternatively, get fruity/herbal teas, honey and a carbonater, don't drink fruit juice.
