A while back I switched from soda to Propel and I have learned that it is not as good of an option as I once thought.
Besides the obvious, water, what drinks do you consume that are healthy or organic? I am ok with real sugar; I just don't want the chemicals.
I do not like coffee or tea....is there anything else???
Water infused with fruit or cucumbers/mint etc. Tea, but not regular tea there are so many different flavors. Sometimes hot or sometimes cold. We have berry teas that we get, delicious. Water is really the best thing.
Stay away from crystal light, koolaide etc. that has the dyes. Soda that has the citrus- there is BVO which is bad for you.
I drink lots of water and I like unsweetened iced tea.
I have also started making flavored water, just to switch things up. I got a glass jar with a spout from Target for around $20. A few days ago I had cucumber/melon water, and right now I've got sliced oranges and a few sprigs of rosemary in there. It's not sweet, the fruit and herbs just give it a nice subtle flavor. It looks pretty in the fridge too, and I'm finding my kids drinking more water this way which is great! (If you google or go on pinterest you can get lots of flavored water ideas/combos.)
My husband likes to mix carbonated water with juice, especially cranberry juice cocktail. He does about 2/3 water to 1/3 juice to keep it light.
I drink WATER. It was made for quenching our thirst and fixing us up on the inside. It is SO GOOD for our liver and kidneys. Why would anyone drink soda or chemically filled energy drinks? It makes NO SENSE. That's why everyone is FAT and SICK--- dont eat man made stuff. Drink WATER.
I make smoothies like crazy all year long. I love green smoothies the best and no I realize this isn't an immediate drink to grab and go but for me it only takes about 2 minutes to whip one up. This is of course in addition to the water, tea and coffee I consume.
You've definitely been given some great answers below - flavored water is a fun drink and you can literally do anything with it so you don't get bored.
I like water with lemon, cucumber or mint.
Coconut water. I'm seriously addicted now.
I hate water and don't drink it unless it is first filtered through either coffee grounds or tea leaves.
I like unsweetened iced tea with a splash of 100% fruit juice added to it for flavor. Tastes like fruit, not like tea.
I also like seltzer or club soda with a splash of fruit juice.
We bought these great infuser pitchers from Costco. We can put fruit in the basket and let it sit for a few hours. We put lemon and strawberry in our first batch and it was super yummy! Another thing we do is buy bottles of lemon or lime juice that stay in the refrigerator. Put a splash in your glass of water. Adds just a hint of flavor, isn't tart and is actually good for you.
We stay away from anything with sweetners, even stevia. They all give me horrible headaches and aren't as good for you as people will lead you to believe.
We also have a Sodastream. We will carbonate the lemon water sometimes. My husband loves to carbonate his tea and has even done it to his iced coffee.
We do mostly water, milk or juice (I like about 4 oz of grapefruit juice mixed with 16 oz water).
I like tea myself (herbal and fruity).
Tea, sweetened with raw sugar. I most mostly drink water though.
I just seen you don't like tea! Water with cucumber or lemon slices.
I like to squeeze 1/4 of a lemon into a large glass of ice water..... I don't add any sugar, just that little bit of lemon...
Very refreshing!
I used to drink unsweetened tea at work all the time, and was constantly running to the bathroom.... but with the lemon water, I find I'm not as thirsty, nor am I running to the bathroom all afternoon.
water, raw milk, and an occasional OJ or diet soda (i know, i know!) are about all i drink.
well, other than coffee and tea, of course!

It might be too much of a hassle for you, but I juice apples and carrots together. It is so yummy, especially when I add mango.
Check out the drink section of the Eat This Not That website.
Eye opening!
I know Fuse Slenderize Fruit Punch is O. good option.
Sobe has a line of low-cal drinks sweetened with stevia, which is a natural sweetener. TrueLemon makes makes lemonade mixes that are also sweetened with stevia, and I used to be able to get a Crystal Light that was also made with stevia, but my current grocery store doesn't carry it. I don't remember the exact name but I think it was something like Pure.
An alternative would be to drink water with real fruit in it (peaches, lemons, limes, berries) or sparkling water with a splash of real juice.
IF you like lemons, try fresh squeezed lemons, carbonated water, honey/sugar to taste, fresh mint... CHILL.... it's so yummy!!
