I like that tag line: ”Drink water, not sugar”. If you are trying to cut calories out of your diet, replacing sugary drinks with calorie free drinks is a great way to do so. And as an athlete who forever struggles to get – and stay – lean, I need to choose my calories wisely.
A marketing company contacted me recently asking me to review a new flavored water called hint.
They sent me three flavors to try: raspberry-lime, pomengranite-tangerine, and mango-grapefruit. Oooo, I’m having fun with font colors in this post!
The three bottles of hint essence water arrived on Friday. I put the bottles in my refrigerator to chill. On Saturday morning, I woke up very thirsty, so I drank the pomengranite-tangerine flavor. It was cool and refreshing with just a hint of flavor. No sweetness, just a little bit of flavor. Yet it was not bland as are some other unsweetened flavored waters that I have tried.
I drank the bottle of raspberry-lime after a very hot bike ride on Saturday, and downed the mango-grapefruit after a very hot run on Sunday. I loved all three flavors, and they were oh so refreshing after my hot hot heat weekend workouts.
I am a big fan of SoBe zero calorie flavored “life water”. SoBe is fruity and also very sweet, and I have a big sweet tooth! Yet SoBe does not have any warning on the label indicating it contains artificial sweeteners. I was always stumped by that, so I just now visited the SoBe website looking for nutrition facts. Very cool website, but it sucks because I could not find what I was looking for. I googled it; and I learned that SoBe contains a new, naturally derived, sweetener called Stevia. Interesting. However, natural doesn’t always mean safe… after all, tobacco is a natural substance, right?
The ingredients of the hint water are as follows: ”purified water, mango, grapefruit and other natural flavors”. Seems pretty safe, and it tastes great. Plus I love their website! Simple yet fun, and I enjoyed reading the little quiz questions for each flavor.
I don’t know yet what I will choose when I see the hint water next to the SoBe life water at the Convenient store. I will let ya’ll know when that happens.
