Fortunately I like teas and coffee - but I also have found I like to use the unflavored sparkling water as well. I usually have it with my dinner in a large red wine glass with a slice or two of lemon and lots of ice. It isn't quite the substitute for a nice glass of red, but it looks pretty and is a little more special.

I also use the sparkling water for my fruit servings. I put about 5 frozen strawberries in my Vitamix (or whatever blender you have) along with 8 oz. sparkling water and 4-5 ice cubes (add Stevia if you like) and blend well for a really refreshing drink and fresh fruit serving. I do the same thing with my grapefruit or orange in the afternoon - and really look forward to them.

I also always keep a 2 quart pitcher of lemon water in the fridge. Just slice up 1 lemon (a few cucumber slices as well if you like) and top with water. Let it blend well overnight and the next day you have lemon water for the day. I usually top off the pitcher mid-day as well. I keep my Starbucks cup filled with ice and water and drink it all day. Nothing new, but just ideas to keep you motivated as well as hydrated!
