Beverages for kids

Tweet

There are so many beverages out there right now that are geared towards kids. I’m finding more and more ‘water’ products available for kids now more than ever. Fortunately I have no real problems with getting either of my girls to drink water, but I know they’d much rather have some flavor to what they’re drinking, I don’t really worry about what they’re drinking so much right now (besides pop, that’s a TREAT if they get it.). The girls are nowhere NEAR overweight but we want to make sure that they make healthy choices even when it comes to their beverages.

Recently we got to try a beverage for kids called Bot. It’s a ‘water’ beverage designed as an alternative to high sugar fruit juice and other drinks your kids may be drinking. Bot Beverages contain 75% less sugar than juice and are only 40 calories per bottle (not that I think calories should even be a concern if your children are not overweight). It also comes in four different flavors: grape, orange, lemon and berry. We got to try all of them. Now, I’m not a fan of flavored water, so for me they were well, not very good so don’t take my judgment. Besides they were meant for kids. The girls tried all four flavors and they really did like them, they loved the orange and grape but weren’t big on the berry, and honestly they didn’t like the lemon at all although they did attempt to drink all of the flavors to give them a try you could clearly tell what their favorite flavors were.

The bottles are 100% recyclable and small enough for little hands and mouths. Bot Beverages are great in the way that they don’t sweeten their drinks with artificial sweeteners; they continue to use sugar, just less of it. It’s a great alternative to other drinks such as Gatorade, Powerade or other flavored waters that you might give your children there’s a lot less sugar and with the no artificial sweeteners that makes it even a better option for kids.

Bot also gives 1% of their annual revenue each year directly to an environmental organization that is part of the solution for a healthier planet. Last year they contributed The Wetlands Institute in Stone Harbor, New Jersey.

Catch a wave with Nui Kid Water

I hear so many people who have a hard time getting their kids to drink water instead of juice or soda. Thankfully my girls are pretty good and I don’t have that issue, although they do prefer juice over water any day, they enjoy the flavor and who can blame them. Thankfully there’s a product out there to help us moms with ‘picky drinkers’ that enables kids to drink more water.

Nui Kid Water not only tastes great, but is a good alternative to water and gives kids the flavor they crave. Nui Kid Water is made from all natural ingredients, has low sugar, added vitamins & minerals, as well as dietary fiber and antioxidants. Nui Kid Water also wants to curb the epidemic of child hood obesity, so the caffeine free green tea antioxidant present in Nui also helps burn fat and inhibits the growth of bacteria in the mouth that can cause cavities. The high level of calcium helps burn fat…See for yourself, take a look at their nutrition fact sheet.

Nui Kid Water is formulated just for kids, but believe me, Nui water tastes so good, that Adults will be chugging them down just the same, I know I did. My girls enjoyed Nui Kid Water that it didn’t last very long in our house. The three great flavors: Outrageous Orange, Purple Power, and Raging Red were all a favorite; the girls couldn’t pick just one.

I felt good giving my girls something healthy to drink, giving them more water and even though flavored with real fruit juice, it has half the sugar of apple juice and there’s also no high-fructose corn syrup inside. Visit the Nui Kid Water website at: www.nuiwater.com, it’s a pretty cool website, and you can find more information about Nui Kid Water there, as well as where you can find it in your local area. Also in October they'll be coming out with even more flavors and a new packaging, so be on the lookout!
