Flavored "fitness waters" aren't exactly must-haves, but if the slightly sweet taste of citrus, berries or cherries keeps you sipping when you would otherwise go without, they make a great choice.

With an average of ten calories per eight-ounces and a smattering of vitamins, they're worth their weight in water.

Reebok has since decided not to continue their brand, Propel (what originated this post); however, you can visit Clearly Canadian for more information on similar beverages. From their web site:

With great tasting fruit flavours and a low caloric count, Clearly Canadian Sparkling is a delicious change from regular sodas or waters. Without sacrificing taste, you can enjoy a healthy beverage and feel good about drinking it.

Clearly Canadian is now well known as a leading producer of premium alternative beverages that all begin with one simple ingredient: pure, refreshing water.

This is a refreshing blend of antioxidant-rich acai berries, heart healthy concord grapes, and fiber-rich plums, with a little apple and banana thrown in for texture. It is loaded with healthy vitamins, too; half a bottle (160 calories) supplies 100 percent of your vitamin A and vitamin C needs and 300 percent of your vitamin E needs.

Ooba is an effervescent drink infused with hibiscus extract and sweetened with a touch of cane sugar. hibiscus was once used for its healing properties, and, according to some research, it reduces high blood pressure and bad cholesterol, and improves cardiovascular health. It's bubbly and has a hint of sweetness. One serving is 90 calories and provides 50 percent of your daily vitamin C needs.

With a subtle blueberry and white tea flavor, this fresh, bubbly drink is a new spin on tea - and a great way to cool of on a hot summer's day. Made with real blueberry juice and sweetened with agave syrup and pure cane sugar, it also gives you 100 percent of your vitamin C and 20 percent of your vitamin B daily - all for only 90 calories.
