I'm looking for something that might be a little cheaper or a little healthier than soda, which I'm trying to cut out of my beverages; so if you guys have any suggestions that would be great.
I've tried powerade and gatorade powder and that sort of thing before, but I can never seem to stick with it for some reason. What do you guys think?
Something with caffeine would be good, since I'm going to have some serious caffeine withdrawal if I stop drinking soda.
I'm a huge fan of lemon/lime flavoured drinks as well.

Try Tea? I mean it technically isn't powdered, but if you don't dump sugar into it, it will be quite a bit better for you than soda, and there are lots of different flavors, and many even have caffeine if you are an addict like me.

Tea is really nice, you can even make Iced Tea. (i would advice you to try lemon)
I would advice you to make it yourself, just make large pot of tea and put it in the fridge, put some ice in it.
You can add sugar, but it would be better without.
Dont ever buy iced tea, thats rubbish (while it really tastes good, thats because of sugar).
Home made iced tea is the best. You can even get like a lemon and squeeze its juice through.

What about plain old water? Never even seen powdered drinks in the UK apart from hot chocolate. Do you get diluting juice like Ribena or Robinson's?

Tea is alright but its an acquired taste and one I'm not a huge fan of, but I guess I could try drinking it more. I know my brother loves making his own sun tea.

I've heard really good things about G Fuel. Powdered energy drink, and it comes in lemon/lime.
It's supposed to be an energy drink that you can pour into water. It should be quite healthy because of no sugar etc. Just caffeine, that way you dont crash the same way.
All the reviews i've read were really nice, but I haven't tried it yet. I wanted to purchase the other day but the lemon/lime flavour was sold out. So ill be ordering in 2 weeks when they said it would be back in stock.

Healthier than soda. Drinks gatorade. lol.. None of that crap is even remotely close to anything healthy.
Drink water like it´s your job. Your body will thank you.

The main idea is that I'd end up drinking less flavoured drinks because they'd be a little more hydrating. Originally Posted by Bantokar

If you don't want to drink soda at the least avoid something with caffeine in it. You can flavor your water with Crystal Lite or other sugarless flavorings. Caffeine will help dehydrate you.
Or you could just learn to drink water for most of the day and have some sodas in-between.

OT
Make your own smoothies! Or failing that, get a juice grater/ whatever you call it.
They seriously taste amazing...

My fave metabolic smoothie:
1 apple, 1 pear, 1 banana, 3 carrots, some pineapple, some mango, chocolate whey protein, 0.6% milk and to get that metabolism up add some cayenne pepper and ginger.Last edited by mmoc3eb006e951; 2013-08-20 at 01:46 PM.

2013-08-20, 01:51 PM #20DeletedDiabetes says hello. There is substantial amount of evidence recently that suggests over intake of sugar, be it even from fruit, is really bad for you. Like en route to overtaking heart disease and cancer as the leading cause of death. Originally Posted by Bantokar

The whey protein smoothies are also packed with tonnes of crap sugar fillers in order to gain weight.
