As a busy mom, it can get hard to fit in a healthy eating plan or an hour workout every day. However, I’ve realized I don’t have to make drastic changes to significantly improve my health. Making small, manageable changes each day, like swapping high-calorie sugary drinks for a healthier beverage, like Fruit2O Essentials, is an easy way to make a big impact!
Every bottle of Fruit2O Essentials provides nutrients found in two servings of fruit, including important vitamins and minerals and one gram of fiber. Each of the six delicious flavors combines a popular fruit with a super fruit delivering uniquely beneficial nutrients. Unlike many other fortified waters in the category, Fruit2O Essentials has a subtle fruit flavor, zero sugar, zero calories and only one gram of carbohydrates.
There are six Fruit2O Essentials flavors: Cranberry Raspberry, Strawberry Kiwi, Peach Mango, Citrus, Blueberry Pomegranate, and Cherry Acai. My favorites were the Citrus and Peach Mango, but I found each of the six flavors to be light, subtle and refreshing, even when drank at room temperature. The bottle has a nice shape, making it comfortable to hold, and at 18 ounces, is more than enough to quench my thirst!
BUY IT!
Fruit2O Essentials is available by the bottle in most grocery stores, and also sold in bulk at Club stores. For more information, including coupons and a list of specific retail locations, visit www.fruit2o.com and facebook.com/fruit2o.
WIN IT!
