I used to love apple flavoured water, or mint flavoured water. At half the calories of juice, you get something much tastier than water.
Until I realized that I was being had.
By taking 100 % apple juice, and diluting 1:1 with water, I had flavoured water, at half the calories of juice. In addition, I had the nutritional benefits of half a cup of pure apple juice.
Most people don’t like diluting juice because they compare it to undiluted juice. If, on the other hand, you compare it to flavoured water, you get a very tasty drink.
The best thing to drink is water, and that’s still what I mainly drink. But sometimes, when I want a change, I make my own flavoured water.
