Is pure water too boring for you? These convenient packets and dropper bottles let you flavor up your water as you go. Water flavorings can help you keep drinking and drink enough to prevent dehydration.

1. Nuun

Nuun Active HydrationWendy Bumgardner ©
No calories, no carbs, no sweeteners, no mess, just a great electrolyte replacement with a refreshing taste. Nuun provides the recommended amount of salt replacement for endurance activities. It comes in no mess tablets that dissolve quickly to produce a non-carbonated, light, refreshing sport drink.

2. Crystal Light On the Go

Crystal Light On the Go packs let you add a single small packet to a water bottle to convert it to lemonade, peach tea, raspberry ice and iced tea. Great to throw into your fanny pack to flavor up a second bottle of water when you refill at a water fountain. Uses aspartame as a sweetener, with 5 calories per serving.
