I’m desperately trying to up my water and liquid intake. Especially with it being so hot right now, it’s very important to stay hydrated. I’m loving these packets from True Lemon, my favorite flavors are the black cherry and watermelon. They do have 1g of sugar in them, but are plan approved per THM as the amount of sugar in them won’t impact blood sugar.
