Don't get me wrong; I love plain old H2O. I drink many, many glasses of it a day… but now and then, we all need a little something extra. Right? So here are a few lightly flavored, low-calorie water options for those days when plain water is plain unappealing. Hydrate yourselves, people!
Vitaminwater Zero
OK, full disclosure: I liked Vitaminwater10 way more. The perfect combo of sweeteners made it fully worth the 10 cals a cup. Why they had to go messing with a good thing, I have no idea. However, the calorie-free version is not terrible; it's still worth drinking (especially if it's very cold). And it's naturally sweetened with stevia. If it's a fruity beverage you crave, and you're not into artificial sweeteners, try this.

Skinny Water
This is another no-calorie, sweetened, flavored, "can we really call this water?" line of waters. A few flavors are better than others, and some taste pretty good. (The "Total-V" Lemonade Passionfruit is my favorite.) Each flavor has added vitamins and intended benefits, too. A pretty sweet bonus!

Crystal Light Pure Fitness
An alternative to the CL that HGers already love, this one has no artificial sweeteners. The powdered mix has a combo of cane juice, sugar, and Truvia. I've only had the Grape flavor so far, but I love it. One can only hope the other flavors — Lemon Lime and Strawberry Kiwi — are equally delicious...

Metromint
I'm not huge on mint-flavor things, but a lot of people love this line of mint-hinted aguas. There's Spearmint, original Peppermint, Cherrymint, Lemonmint, Orangemint, and Chocolatemint. If you've ever wanted your water to taste more like a York Peppermint Patty, you might want to give this stuff a shot.

Aquafina FlavorSplash
This flavor-tinged water is super delicious. It's lightly sweetened with Splenda and comes in six flavors: Grape, Wild Berry, Strawberry Kiwi, Raspberry, Lemon, and Peach Mango. I like this because it tastes good but isn't as intensely flavored as some similar products, which makes it very, very refreshing. Mmmmm...

Dasani Flavors
The neat thing about these? They've got fruit flavoring and are very lightly sweetened with Splenda, so you just get an essence of Grape, Raspberry, Lemon, or Strawberry. Kind of like having a squeeze of lemon in your water… only with other flavor options. There's something a little swanky and sophisticated about these… Well, as sophisticated as water in a plastic bottle can be!
