How are y’all staying juicy?

[Wheatthins]

I drink a lot of water. But sometimes need some flavor. I like liquid IV but I'm also cheap. What are ya'll using to stay hydrated?

 

[chmuse]

I do a ton of different powdered electrolyte drinks. Whichever is on sale.
Alani and Celsius.
I've been doing a lot of chia water lately- sometimes with fruit juice instead of water.
Diet Dr. Pepper is my weakness.
Clear protein drinks, again just whichever is on sale.

Dr Pepper Zero Cream Soda is my sweet for the day. It's hard finding them around here though. Chia water what's that?

Soak two tbsp chia seeds in 16 oz water for a few hours. Add flavoring right before serving. Or, just soak in juice to start. Very high in fiber and very filling. It's a very acquired taste, it's slimy.

I do something a lot like this. In the am I have a bag of Irish tea with 1-1.5tb of chia seeds, 10-15mg of methylene blue and a couple drops of stevia. Rest of the day I drink water, before my workout I'll have 1-2tb of my own electrolyte and collagen mix with 10-15mg of MB.

Interesting, I'm assuming you eat the chia seeds?

When I used to drink fruit flavored protein shakes I'd add them to the water to soak a few hours before adding protein powder. Made it feel like a smoothie.

That grey stuff is the seeds- I drink them.

 

[raw_oyster_eater]

orange juice. i've been craving citrus.

how do you not gag on the semi solid?

 

[SmokeySquid]

Sugar free water flavoring packs from Walmart, diluted into half a gallon of water. Just enough flavor to make it exciting without feeling like too much.

 

[chmuse]

They get softer when they soak. And they're itty bitty. It's like seeds in a raspberry smoothie, you barely notice them.

I think of them kinda like tapioca, they just thicken up your drink. In the hot tea they are ready to drink almost immediately. In a shake I like 10-20min. My evening/post work out meal is only whey, almond milk, and 2tb chia seeds, makes it more filling and thicker. If I'm on the go I add them to coconut water, they take on the coconut water flavor.

I'll have to remember that hot water works better. Maybe I'll try them in my mint tea at night. I put them and water in a cup and then stick it in the fridge until I feel like drinking it and add some flavoring right before serving.

 

[TetsuNW]

Yeah, I didn't even know that would happen. I just wanted fiber in my first meal and was like oh whoa, that was fast.

 

[Morbius]

For something I can drink gallons of, I like weak iced tea. I use Constant Comment decaf, and I just put a splash of concentrate into a glass of ice water. It doesn't have much flavor but it's enough.

I hate plain water.

Venture pal is the LMNT dupe. I like strawberry & watermelon. Costco has Liquid IV on sale numerous times throughout the year.

I also just bought Seeq from Target.. it is clear protein. Watermelon is great.. and no aftertaste.

I drink 33.8 oz of PurAqua Aldi as well... black cherry, lime, strawberry...

I use Stur watermelon/strawberry.

And I don't give a shit about "fake sugar". Everything else tastes like garbage.

 

[Skidude]

When I started fasting i cut out my cream and drank black coffee, now I have a cup with vanilla protein shake as cream in the afternoon.
Besides coffee, lots of water and usually a liquid iv or the occasional coconut water.
Whiskey and diet coke mixed in a few nights a week for good measure.

I've seen that clear protein in the store. Never tried it. I get tired of super sweet protein shakes. Fair life shakes aren't bad. Is that Seeq stuff thick and sweet?

Water with lemon or berries, cucumbers etc.

I'm a Crystal Light girl, my sister’s kidney doctor says it counts as water.

I love most teas, whether hot or cold as well as just plain ol’ water.

Not as sweet (I always add extra water) .. doesn't foam either like some clear proteins do. Target sells it.

I have blue razz (for my son) and mango pineapple on the way...

I love Crystal Light peach tea. Forgot that one 😉

I’m a big fan of Ultima electrolytes, I add a scoop to my 32oz water bottle. The lemonade flavor is my favorite.

 

[Laylabirdrami]

Just slice some lemons and add it to your water. Makes a huge difference.

I also love the Ultima pina colada electrolyte mix. Funny story:

I recently switched from Tirz to Reta which increased my desire for sweets. I was adding 3 scoops of ulitma pina colada to my 40oz water bottle, 3-4 times per day. I starting having diarrhea almost daily and thought it was the switch to reta, in fact I almost switched back to Tirz. Then I looked closer at the ingredients list in the ultima. Each scoop has 100mg of magnesium citrate, so I was basically dosing myself with 1000-1200mg of mag citrate every day! Doh! With in a day of cutting back, my GI issues resolved.

Now I limit myself to one of these drinks per day with 2-3 scoops and I have been fine ever since. I sub in LMNT and LiquidIV to spread the nutritional additives around.

 

[TNDelta]

Baja Salt in water! Gary Brecka promotes Baja Gold, but I buy this one. Just a pinch in water is all you need. Add some lemon juice or some orange for flavor.

Baja Salt

 

[raw_oyster_eater]

orange juice

 

[AnitaLovesHerSons]

I get you! Water gets boring, and Liquid IV is great but pricey. I like using electrolyte packets from Costco or just a splash of lemon juice with a pinch of salt. Sometimes a little flavored seltzer does the trick too!

I hate that I don't have a costco anywhere near me. Sams club just isn't the same.

Absolute truth. I drive 30 minutes to go to Costco and 10 to Sam's. I have both and wish the Costco was closer.

 

[Goreandglitter]

I’m absolute shit at this..
I drink an energy drink and a glass of 5 calorie Minute Maid mango juice stuff a day….
I occasionally drink a 10 calories mango Gatorade fit…..

Same, Id love to be one of those people with the massive water jug they carry around all day. But I just can't make myself do it.

Me wanna gag though

I use LyteShow drops.

 

[GimmeABreak]

I use LyteShow drops.

I use this too in addition to three other electrolyte powders throughout the day. Instead of using the drops in my 40oz water bottle I use a 3ml syringe without the needle on it. Delivers one dose and I put it into an espresso mug, add a about a shot of water and drink it like a shot. I follow this up with either plain water or water with another electrolyte.

I find the salt in all of the electrolytes keeps my heart rate down and improves my BP that is borderline low.

Gatorade zero for me to stay hydrated especially when I'm working out..
