[quote=Anonymous]My teen DD is trying to drink more water and has realized that the best way for her to do this is to use those flavoring packets. She had some samples from camp and found a few (from Target) that she was willing to try. However, they all seem to have dozens of ingredients in them, including aspartame or sucralose. I'd prefer to get her something that doesn't have these and a bunch of unpronounceable ingredients in them.

These are the ones she sent me:

- https://www.target.com/p/lemonade-variety-sugar-free-drink-mix-30ct-market-pantry-8482/-/A-83704034#lnk=sametab
- https://www.target.com/p/wyler-39-s-light-watertok-island-variety-sugar-free-drink-mix-30ct/-/A-94803191#lnk=sametab

I now see that these are all sugar free, which I'm sure is at least part of the problem.

We got a mailing about a Twining's drink (https://www.target.com/p/twinings-refreshers-strawberry-and-raspberry-herbal-instant-tea-mix-3oz/-/A-94604585#lnk=sametab) that has sugar in it, but the rest of the ingredients seem to be good quality (as much as that's possible in a processed product).

Does anyone have suggestions for relatively healthy flavor packets to add to water? I've suggested cucumber and fruit and mint, but I think she wants the ease of the flavor packets. I'm just trying to find the healthiest version of this possible. Price is not much of a consideration; she only uses a little bit of the flavor packet in her water bottle, so it should last us longer than expected, and either way I'd prefer that she eat as healthy as possible.[/quote]
