Fruit 2 O Essentials Review and Giveaway




Like most moms, I'm always looking for a healthy drink for my kids that they will actually want to drink. They would drink nothing but soda if I let them, and they act like its the end of the world if I try to get them to drink water. That's  why I was thrilled to be able to try out the new Fruit 2 O Essentials, and even more excited that my kids honestly loved them. Not only were my children excited to try them, there were actually arguments over who would get which flavor.



We were sent one of each of the six great new flavors to try out.
  • Peach Mango
  • Cranberry Raspberry
  • Strawberry Kiwi
  • Citrus
  • Blueberry Pomegranate
  • Cherry Acai

They all tasted great, but my favorite was the Citrus. And while I do enjoy drinking plain water, it is nice to mix it up once in a while and add a little flavor. My kids both liked the Strawberry Kiwi. Only my husband was unimpressed, but there aren't many drinks without either alcohol or caffeine in them that appeal to him.

In addition to a great taste, Fruit 2 O Essentials are actually good for you! They each contain 5 nutrients equal to two servings of fruit in every bottle. So, my kids are getting their fruit at the same time that they are getting hydrated. These are going to be great for basketball practice.   But there's still more!  There is zero fat and zero calories in these drinks. What more can you ask for?  If you would like to learn more about Fruit 2 O Essentials, you can check out their website here.
