I pretty much just drink water when I walk or work out, Powerade Zero Orange and G2 Purple. Are there other sports drinks I can drink that won't effect my BS?

Members offered a variety of flavored drink options in response to a question about alternatives to Powerade Zero and Gatorade G2 that won't spike blood sugar. Several members recommended products like Crystal Light, Propel, powdered drink packets with artificial sweeteners, Clear American flavored water from Walmart, Minute Maid Just 15 lemonade, and the Cirkul water flavoring system, while others shared homemade alternatives such as infused water with fruit, unsweetened tea or hot chocolate, and smoothies made with vegetables, a small amount of fruit, and Splenda or stevia. A recurring theme was the importance of checking labels for sugar and carbs, avoiding high-sugar beverages, drinking plenty of plain water alongside flavored options, and staying active with regular walks to maintain good control.

I use the little individual powdered drink packets. Peach is my favorite. they do use artificial sweetener. Or you could get a jug with an infuse...a specil little cage that you put fruit in and then let it seep into your water.

I have been looking for something to flavor my water. I just don't like plain water. I have looked at various products, not completely satisfied yet. If I find anything I will let you know.

I make my own drinks of fresh veggies and a small fruit with water and splenda or stevia. From smoothies to hot or cold tea with lemons, water and splenda. Also, drinking 4 bottles of plain water daily.

Walk twice daily for good health and happiness. 😁
