The general advice is to drink 2 liters of water every day to stay hydrated. Being sufficiently hydrated has many health benefits, and is considered a vital part of keeping your body and mind in shape. But what do you do if you don't like water? Luckily, there are other options available! In this article we will discuss other methods that will keep you hydrated - without drinking plain water!

Drink flavored water

Buy flavored water, or add lemon slices, fresh berries or other flavoring to your water. You can also buy fruit squash, or water flavoring essence. This is often an easy and cheap way of making water easier and more pleasurable to drink. It also allows for variation, as you can infuse your water with different flavors every time you make a new drink.

Drink other drinks

If water is not your thing, there are plenty of other drinks available. Juice, smoothies, iced coffee, ice tea, protein shakes, milk, and other drinks can be excellent alternatives to water. You should avoid relying too much on drinks with a high sugar content, such as soda, certain fruit juces, energy drinks and chocolate milk.

Eat soup

Soup contains plenty of liquid! Eat creamy, smooth soups or chunky soups with meat and vegetables. To get you started, you can browse our chicken soups, beef and pork soups or vegetable soup recipes.

Try this Thai chicken noodle soup for a delicous and hydrating dinner.

Eat fruits and vegetables with a high water content

Cucumbers, oranges, watermelon, celery, tomatoes, lettuce, strawberries and peaches all have a very high water content, as well as fiber, vitamins and minerals. Consuming these vegetables, fruits and berries can help you hydrate, as well as provide many more health benefits.

Eat food which contains a lot of water

Certain foods, like sauces, yogurt, ice cream, jelly and condiments, typically contains a lot of water. The same goes for food that absorbs high amount of water. Food items like pasta, rice and oatmeal absorb water when boiled, and is a great way to hydrate if you don't particularly enjoy liquid food.

Lemon and garlic rice contains a lot of absorbed water!

Enjoy popsicles and ice cubes

Popsicles and ice cubes are a favorite particularly when it's cold outside. By snacking on these items, you can both stay chilled, while also staying hydrated.

You can even make your own healthy popsicles!

Drink tea or hot broth / stock

Warm drinks like herbal teas, bone broth or ginger and lemon drink are great for keeping you warm in the winter, and also provide hydration. It's a common myth that coffee and tea dehydrates you, but in fact they are really effective at keeping you hydrated through the day, and every cup counts towards your suggested daily 2 liters.

What is the best drink first thing in the morning?

Water Water. My favorite morning beverage is always water, first and foremost. Your body is deprived of water when you sleep, so it is best to rehydrate with water first thing before anything else. I then follow with coffee or a homemade matcha tea latte for a caffeinated boost.

My favorite morning beverage is always water, first and foremost. Your body is deprived of water when you sleep, so it is best to rehydrate with water first thing before anything else. I then follow with coffee or a homemade matcha tea latte for a caffeinated boost.

—Alanna Waldron, R.D., founder of Eats Real Food

I won't win any points for originality or pioneering a groundbreaking new oat milk golden matcha collagen latte, but I want to take this opportunity to drive home an important point: My morning beverage of choice is...(drumroll)...a tall glass of filtered water. And here's why: A tall glass of water is one of the best ways to release the gunk your detoxification mechanisms dislodged overnight, and it cues your body to have a bowel movement like clockwork in the morning (yes, even better than coffee). Sip the water and relax for a few minutes, then make your way to your Squatty Potty throne. Breakfast of champions.
