THE NIBBLE kitchen enables us to squeeze fresh lemon juice. But if your workplace doesn’t afford that luxury and you drink lots of water, bring extra bottles filled only with 1/4 to 1 teaspoon of lemon juice. The almost-empty bottles don’t weigh much, and you can fill them with tap water when you get to work.

Other options:

• Keep lemon juice at work if there’s a fridge. Italian Volcano Lemon Burst is the only bottled lemon juice we use. It doesn’t have that “reconstituted” taste because it isn’t reconstituted—it’s real organic lemon juice and tastes like fresh-squeezed.
• True Lemon is a powdered option that requires no refrigeration. It comes in tiny packets like artificial sweetener and has an excellent flavor.
• Another option needing no fridge: lemon extract. Find it in the supermarket with the other extracts and add a few drops to your water bottle. (We use a medicine dropper to do this neatly.)
• Try lime water, too!
