People around the world are dying of thirst. They may have only one source of water and that is either polluted by chemicals or it could be polluted with dirt, filth or disease. Water is the reason why wars are fought, not over gas, but pure, clean drinkable water. In third world nations, people have to go through great lengths to get water that they can drink. In first world nations, like the one I live in, we merely walk over to the sink and turn it on.
Now, as I mentioned here, I have a first world problem: I don't like the taste of water. Even though I lived in St. Louis for most of my life, which routinely is voted with the best tasting water, I still never liked to just drink pure and clean water. Where I live now has water that is rich in a chlorine flavor and smell, reminiscent of drinking pool water sometimes. Even my Pur' filter can clean it and take some of the nasty flavor out, but not all of it. So, when I want a drink of water, what do I do?
Well, before I used anything from propel to kool aid, but lately, I have been doing the new Mio flavor products:
As you can see, we have two new flavors here: black cherry and green thunder. What makes these different than the normal Mio flavors is that these have sugar free, 0 calorie syrups in them which can turn any glass of water into a non-carbonated energy drink. That's right, one of these puppies will set you back a forgettable $3.99 but you have the ability to flavor a gallon of water. Imagine how many times you could run around the world with a gallon of energy drink.
A single serving size, about 1/2 tsp or one small squirt, has 0 calories, fat, sodium, carbs, sugar and protein. So, it really is just flavoring, with an added bonus. Each serving size has 10% of your Daily B3,10% of your B6, 10% of your B12. It also has some caffeine: 60mg per serving. A serving of coffee has about 130 mg of caffeine. So, what you have here, is a way to flavor water, add a few vitamins and caffeine. I have beee using this daily and multiple times. It is better than any other energy drink I have used because I cannot over dose on vitamins or get too much caffeine. I rate these both a 5 out of 5 and if you love energy drinks, pick these up.
