We’ve all heard we should be drinking 8 glasses of water a day, but that can be...a lot of water. If you want more variety in your hydration game, look to fruit waters; they’re often enhanced with antioxidants, come in a wide variety of flavors and contain little to no sugar. Let’s get to sipping.
If you’re after a freshly infused, spa water taste, Hint is a good go-to. With no artificial or diet sweeteners such as stevia, it gets its subtle taste from natural fruit flavors. The flavor is very light, but it comes in a wide range of fruits, like peach, watermelon and blackberry.
For fruit water with an extra pop of flavor, look for a bottle that contains real fruit juice. The island-inspired flavors by Bai contain 2% juice, which gives them 1 gram of sugar. Still, that’s a lot less than a standard juice or soda, and makes the transition of cutting out sugary beverages a lot easier.
One of the benefits of fruit water versus regular water is that you can use it to get essential nutrients. Some of the flavors SoBe waters contain a day’s dose of vitamin C and all of the B vitamins.
