It’s a hot summer day and you are looking for something that will quench your thirst. Do you reach for a plain water? Water is fantastic for you, but maybe you are looking for something more. Do you grab a soda? Unfortunately, sodas have lots of sugars, calories, and even sodium which instead of quenching your thirst will only intensify it. Then you come across Fruit 2O and you wonder what it is all about…
That is the reason for the Fruit 2O “Dial It Back” MommyParty! The best part about the MommyParties is that I was chosen to host one for myself! Fruit 2O sent me several samples of their four flavors of water for me to share with other moms.
On the last day of E’s play group we were having a picnic so I decided this would be a great time to introduce some other moms to Fruit 2O. I chilled the drinks overnight then took them to the party the next day. There are four flavors to Fruit 2O: strawberry, watermelon, grape, and lemon.
Let me just say that usually I am not such a fan of flavored waters that they always just seemed sort of fake, so needless to say that I was skeptical. I was pleasantly surprised when I tried the drink and it was really good! Imagine taking ice water and squeeze in a splash of grape, watermelon, lemon, or strawberry juice. It tastes natural and refreshing. The best part is that it has zero sugar, zero calories, zero carbs, and zero artificial flavors.
“It really tastes great!”
For the most part, all of the responses I got were great. All of the moms who tried it really enjoyed the taste. “L”, one of the mothers there said, “This is actually really good. It tastes great and is refreshing.” L is currently pregnant so she said that it was nice that there wasn’t anything artificial in it that a pregnant woman might want to avoid.
“J” and “K” were also big fans of Fruit 2O. In fact, J told me that if I ever hosted one of these parties again to please let her know!
Even the kids liked Fruit 2O. I put some of the lemon flavored water into E’s sippy cup and he LOVED it. In fact, he drank the whole cup, which is rather rare for him.
Something to think about.
One of the goals of Fruit 2O is to help people “dial it back.” Oftentimes, we tend to overdo it a little. As a fun little activity you can check out the Fruit 2O “Dial it Back” Facebook app. This app will aggregate the information on your Facebook profile and will highlight areas in which you may want to “dial back.” Its just a little bit of a fun activity!
