Water and more Water

When my family decided it was time for a change, we had a to figure out a way to overcome soda pop, chocolate milk, kool aid and fruit juice addiction in our children. As Adults it is easy to just say drink water. Perhaps if we had started our kids down this path in the first place we wouldn't be here. We chose the option of crystal light in addition to water. It was a healthy choice after all. Only 5 calories per serving and no carbs (sugar). It also made great money sense. We buy the Wal-Mart brand Great Values' version of Crystal Light. For just shy of two dollars we can make 6 Gallons of juice. To do this with frozen juice at least 12 dollars. And Kool Aid... besides the sugar they take into their body, just because it costs only 15 cents a package the sugar increases the cost. Our kids still feel like they are drinking Kool-Aid and living like kids.We of course encourage water as well. :)
