I drink mainly water. I can't drink caffeine because it gives me headaches. It's too hot for hot tea and I usually don't drink caffeinated drinks because they cause my stomach to swell (a side effect of a hematoma during gall bladder surgery). I have coconut water that I use in my smoothies but I don't think I'll be able to drink a lot of that. Does anyone have any ideas to spice up water or other healthy drinks?

I'm loving flavored sparkling water (like La Croix) lately.
-
Mostly commenting to follow. Lime, strawberries, lemon are all delicious in water. Also many grocery stores have naturally flavored carbonated water - with no fake sugars or sweetener - just barely have flavor - they are pretty good. Like a no-sugar pellegrino. I don't do well with too much carbonation though.
-
Do you like iced tea? It has more water in it than hot tea does, so maybe it wouldn't hurt your stomach.
-
I mostly drink water, too but I will also have sparkling flavored water like La Croix or Polar Seltzer, Pellegrino, etc.
What about a decaf iced tea? I make a lot of iced tea with Teavana mint teas, fruit teas, etc.
-
I love V8 Fruit Splash, tastes yummy and good for you!
-
Could you make iced tea with your favorite decaf teas?
I like to add lemon or lime to water. I also like Vitamin Water Zero if I want something sweet without calories. Lemon is my favorite flavor.
-
Lemonade? Or add fruit to your water...lemons, blueberries, strawberries, raspberries.
-
Infused water is much more exciting than just plain water - cucumber and mint is very refreshing. If you aren't opposed to a little sweetener, you can get water flavorings in little squeeze things (sorry I don't know how to explain it better - it's like a liquid version of Crystal Light). I really liked that because you could add a lot or a little depending on how much flavor you wanted.

I love lemon water with ice. I could drink so much of it!
-
I'm not opposed to some crystal light type powder when I can't drink another cup of water. It gets me over the bland hump, anyways
-
When I'm tired of water I'll start adding juice or lemonade to my water.

@JMOM: We got a soda stream and it's AMAZING! Make your own carbonated sparkling water at home! We add dashes of Italian soda syrub, berries, or juice for flavor!
-
Soda stream. Love sparking water.
-
I'm getting bored of water too, so following!
-
@youboots: YES! sparkling water is the best. i add plain sparking to herbal ice teas, cut sweet lemonade, make summer cocktails, everything.
-
@mrs.shinerbock: I was going to suggest that!!
Also, what about iced tea? I like to make big Batches in the summer!
I also like making my own almond milk- it's really easy!
-
Sun tea! Love cucumber water as well. I also love making lemonade from scratch.
-
@JMOM: herbal tea! I get a really fruity tea and steep it in cold water. Gives the water a kick and doesn't have any sugar.
