Aside from water and milk, I buy sparkling water regularly.  Juice is 1-2x/mth, a 32 oz bottle and my girls drink it mixed w/sparkling water.  I like it that way too.  And about 1x/mth I'll buy a 6 pk of Zevia soda....

If the craving is that strong and so frequent, I'd eat it. Listen to your body.  It knows what it needs.  I was veggie for 5 yrs before my first pregnancy, and although a few times I had meat cravings during it, none...
