I agee with not using artificial color or sweeteners. I usually drink a glass of water with vinegar (either apple cider or Balsamic), water with lemon juice and a dash of sea salt, a banana, grapefruit juice and water, watermelon...in other words I consume different liquids-not just one thing. That way I feel like I have it covered. Oh, and coconut water - that stuff is fantastic.
