7 Ways to Make Your Drinking Water Tastier

Drinking enough water every day can feel like a real chore, but there’s no denying how important it is. Staying hydrated regulates your body temperature, delivers nutrients to your cells, and gives you energy. These samplers, tablets, and enhancers will help you meet your daily water quota if you’ve been falling short.

Let’s be honest, all of us probably should be drinking more H2O. The experts recommend that adults drink eight, 8-ounce glasses per day. Wow, that’s a lot of liquid! If getting through several bottles of the plain stuff every day isn’t doing it for you, these items can help you hit your hydration goals.

An Herbal Tea Sampler

Tea is a great option for those who have a hard time drinking enough water—it’s brewed in a cup of hot water, after all. Celestial Seasonings’ Herbal Tea Flavor Bundle contains 10 different flavors for a variety of delicious ways to spice up your water.

Herbal tea is also packed with antioxidants that can prevent health complications and fend off colds, among other benefits. All flavors in this tea sampler are caffeine-free, which also means you can enjoy them any time of the day without worrying you won’t be able to fall asleep. Herbal tea can also be enjoyed cold, if you prefer.

Laird Superfood Hot Chocolate

If you prefer drinking warm liquids, but aren’t a huge fan of tea, try upgrading your hot chocolate instead. Laird Superfood Hot Chocolate is a popular product that adds powerful ingredients to the cozy, cold-weather drink.

To get the hydration benefits, you’ll need to mix this chocolate powder with hot water rather than milk, but don’t worry—it’ll still taste amazing. Made with rich Peruvian, organic cacao, powdered coconut milk, and a touch of cinnamon, you’re sure to love the flavor of this hot chocolate.

It also contains reishi, chaga, and maitake mushrooms for added health benefits, but if that sounds gross, don’t worry—you won’t be able to taste them.

Nuun Electrolyte Tablets

It can be especially hard to stay hydrated during the winter. If you find yourself getting dehydrated, throw one of these Nuun Electrolyte Tablets in your next glass of water. Each is enhanced with electrolytes that can help your body refuel when you’re low on liquid.

These drink tablets also add a pleasant, low-calorie fruity flavor to your water. They contain no artificial flavors and are completely portable. Keep one container at home, one in your gym bag, and one at the office for electrolyte-rich, flavorful water any time of day.

Bubly Sparkling Water

When drinking plain water starts to get boring, turn to sparkling. While there are plenty of brands to choose from, we love Bubly. It comes in a variety of fruity flavors but contains no sugar or calories.

The only two ingredients in a regular Bubly drink are carbonated water and natural flavors. The flavor is very subtle, as is the case with most flavored waters, but still strong enough to be quite enjoyable. This six-flavor variety pack will let you try multiple flavors so you can find your favorite.

MiO Water Enhancers

For the most customized flavored water experience, grab a MiO Water Enhancer. Just squeeze a few drops into a glass or bottle of water for an explosion of flavor without any added sugars.

You can also mix and match flavors to match whatever mood you’re in. Each bottle is portable and can be kept at room temperature wherever you think you’ll need it. This stuff is pretty powerful and a little goes a long way, so use it in small amounts on your first try until you find your sweet spot.

Pomegranate Juice Powder

Adding a splash of tart juice to a glass of water can freshen it up and make you more likely to finish the whole thing. If you don’t have any fresh juice, stir in a spoonful of Organic Pomegranate Juice Powder instead.

Made with freeze-dried pomegranate juice powder, this product is rich in nutrients, including vitamins, minerals, and antioxidants. One spoonful will turn your plain glass of water turn into a sweet, tangy, good-for-you treat.

Coconut Water Drops

Coconut water is a great way to stay hydrated, thanks to its naturally occurring electrolytes. Unfortunately, the real stuff can taste kinda weird if you aren’t used to it. These Coconut Water Drops are the perfect happy medium; they add a rich coconut flavor to your water without any of the funkiness you might taste in pure coconut water.

The drops add a crisp taste to your water and are made with minimal natural ingredients. The brand sells a variety of flavors in addition to coconut, though, including raspberry green tea, watermelon, and cranberry.
