I'll Give You a Hint...


It's so hot here this time of year that hydration is not just a recommendation, it is integral for survival. Thirst becomes unbearable, and the thought of drinking more water sometimes makes my fellow desert dwellers want to gag. We are often looking for alternative methods to hydrate, and since soda and beer quench the immediate thirst but ultimately contribute to dehydration, our search often leads us to flavored waters and juices. While some of those flavored waters and juices can help hydrate, they often contain too much sugar and other additives that are not always great for you. Recently, someone told me about Hint, a lightly flavored water- beverage (is that a term? maybe it should be) that hydrates without being bland and without sugar or artificial sweeteners. I tried the cucumber flavored one and was absolutely amazed! The flavor is not overwhelming, it is light yet satisfying enough for someone who just cannot drink anymore water. Oh, and there are zero calories!

If you want to read the details of the product and company, click here. I usually find them in Sprouts or Whole Foods, but there are other places which carry them as well.
