If you're anything like me, drinking enough water throughout the day is a constant struggle. I know it's good for me, I know I should be doing it—but plain water just doesn’t always cut it. That’s where Hint of Lime packets come in and completely change the game.

I first discovered these little flavor bombs through a friend’s mom (shoutout to the moms who always know the good stuff). And ever since, I’ve been hooked. They’re simple: just rip one open, pour it into a glass or bottle of 12 to 16 ounces of water, stir or shake, and boom—your boring water is now refreshing, crisp lime water.

What I love about Hint of Lime is how perfectly balanced it is. It doesn’t taste like those overly sweet sports drinks or lemonade mixes. It also doesn’t taste like the barely-there citrus water you get when someone just plops a sad lime wedge into your cup at a restaurant. This is potent, clean, and refreshing—without being sweet.

One of the best parts? You can get a pack of 100 for around $6.50. That’s basically a month or more of flavor-boosted hydration for the cost of one fancy coffee. Even better, it’s available on Amazon with free one-day delivery if you're a Prime member. So you can be just 24 hours away from actually enjoying your water.

Here's the kicker: I’ve noticed I drink way more water when I use these. It’s almost automatic. I crave it. And I’ve even heard of people—especially those trying to replace the habit of drinking beer or alcohol at night—using lime water as a satisfying alternative. I totally get it. There’s something about the flavor that scratches that same itch without the downsides.

So if you're trying to up your hydration game, kick a nighttime beer habit, or just want your water to stop tasting like, well, nothing—Hint of Lime packets are absolutely worth a try.
