Drinking water should never be a chore. And if it is, then we have a few simple options to save you from boredom.

Add ginger or basil for even more flavor.

2. Add zero-calorie water flavoring.

MiO is a zero-calorie, sugar and carbohydrate-free water enhancer. The company even makes MiO Fit, which contains electrolytes and vitamin Bs to prep you for an intense sweat session or enhance your workout recovery.

3. Infuse with cucumbers.

5. Drink unsweetened tea.

Caffeinated or not, hot or cold, tea is great way to naturally flavor water. There are so many different teas to choose from, so your taste buds will never get bored. Bonus: its antioxidants boost your immune system.

6. Infuse with mixed berries.

Coconut water is full of electrolytes such as sodium, potassium, magnesium, and phosphorus. Not only is it a great alternative to water, but it is also a great way to rehydrate and replenish electrolytes lost in sweat after a tough workout.
