Product Review & Giveaway: Fruit2O Essentials

I’ve been trying to drink more water lately. I’m not doing too badly, but I have to admit that plain old water can be downright boring. I’d much rather crack open a Diet Mt. Dew! But I know that the water is oh-so good for me. So I’m trying…. really, I am.

That’s why I was very interested when I was contacted about trying Fruit2O Essentials. We’ve bought Fruit2O in the past, but this is a whole new line of Fruit2O drinks. Instead of being simply flavored waters, Fruit2O Essentials offer several nutrients found in two servings of fruit. There are still zero calories and zero sugar.

I thought that I’d make this a group effort, and share some of the Fruit2O Essentials with my mom and dad. We all tried different flavors, and we were all pleased with the products. The flavors weren’t overpowering – in fact a couple of them could have been a little bit stronger. But they were refreshing, and we all felt good about choosing this drink over something carbonated.

I was impressed with the line of flavors that are available too. Fruit2O Essentials come in Cranberry Raspberry, Strawberry Kiwi, Peach Mango, Citrus, Blueberry Pomegranate, and Cherry Acai. My personal favorite was the Citrus, because it had a little tartness to it.

For more information about the flavors and to learn about Fruit2O’s partnership with the American Diabetes Association, be sure to stop by the Fruit2O Facebook Page. While you’re there, you can click the Special Offers tab and print coupons for Fruit2O Essentials.

  10. I fill my favorite Contigo water bottle that stays on my desk all day at work. I try to make sure I fill it twice during the day. It makes it easier for me to drink because I think the bottle is so pretty!

  13. I always make sure to have a water bottle with me…in my car, in my purse, etc etc so that whenever I’m thirsty its right there! That is how I try to incorporate more water into my diet.

  16. I don’t like the taste of our city water, but to cut down on the cost of bottled water, I mix bottled flavored water half & half with tap water.

  17. I make a big glass of ice water and then force myself to drink it completely before having coffee or a diet soda. It isn’t really exciting but it works!

  18. I carry a reusable water bottle around with me all the time to remind me to drink water more.

  45. I subscribe to your emails! And I love the title of your blog, its a good reminder that the point of couponing and saving lots of money is not to become greedy hoarders, but to gain more freedom to give generously.

  59. I, too, love Diet Mt. Dew, but I just got a great deal at Kroger on bottled water, which will help me drink more water since it’s convenient.

  62. Instead of bringing drinks from home, I fill out on water from the water fountain at school during the day.
