Trying to avoid fizzy drinks- what do you drink?

[TabbyCatThursday]

I was doing so well avoiding anything fizzy but I've fallen off the wagon so to speak and I'm bloated, my skin has broken out and I feel wired after two Diet Cokes.

What do you drink as a 'treat' or socially if you're avoiding fizzy things?

Roses Lime cordial its lovely

Wine. Avoid the champagne obviously.

Elderflower cordial, its delicious

Are cordials very sugary?

Sadly have never liked champagne. Never destined for the glamorous life [sigh]

I used to drink far too many fizzy drinks (Diet Coke eat) but now if I want that fizz I'll have sparkling water. It can take a while to get used to if you're not already but definitely works for me and I've cut down drastically on other fizz now. Unfortunately can't have prosecco/champagne because I'm pregnant anyway or it might be a different story 😄

Sugar free cordial with a dash of lime. Ribena is good

Sparkling water. Boring I know.

I can't have caffeine or most artificial sweeteners (due to migraines). I quite like iced fruit teas - I make them in advance, quite strong, & let them cool down, then store them in the fridge in a big jug. Pour over ice. No calories, fizz or unpleasant chemicals. Weirdly, most fruit teas taste of nothing when hot, but are quite nice cold.

Flavoured fizzy water

I don't like fizzy drinks so tea, coffee, sliced lemon in water

Loads of lovely flavours
I particularly love T grenadine, passion fruit & pink grapefruit, DH loves the BG plum & apple.
Some are sweeter than others - have with water still or sparkling depending on what you prefer & ice

Fizzy water makes me bloated and gassy too. Iced fruit tea sounds interesting, because I don't generally like them hot.

Water, really boring I know but add ice and a slice of lime.

I also like infused water - I use one of those infuser bottles - I mostly have lime with a sprig of mint. Just mint on its own is also nice, though, if you're worried about acid on your teeth. Also cucumber & mint.

The only iced fruit tea I can find has stevia in it and I don't touch artificial sweeteners.

My favourite fruit tea recently (that's cheap & easy to get) is the Twinings strawberry & raspberry. Fruit teas are obviously not as strong flavoured as normal fizzy drinks but they are completely guilt free. And, cheaper.

I like cucumber infused fizzy water but I'm sure it's nice with still water too.

i drink fruit iced tea also. I tend to make my own, and this is my favourite one i have tried so far

A dash of bitters with tonic or soda is good, not sugary, only a teeny tiny bit alcoholic and tastes grown up, especially with lemon etc

Sainsbury's high juice. Fruit juice. Coffee.
