Sometimes I get so darn sick of plain water. I'm always looking around for ways to add a little flavor, preferably without artificial sweetners or sugar. Packages of Emergen-C in different flavors is a good option, but I happened upon the following idea and it's working really well.
Part of my vision for myself includes kicking the sugar addiction, and making sure I have a full complement of proper nutrients. I've done a lot of research on the kinds and amounts of supplements the body needs to fuel what we ask of it. I especially want to be sure to have the proper antioxidants in the proper amounts.
I have been researching how Acai berries/juice (pronounced a-sigh-ee) have more antioxidant power than blueberries, red wine grapes, etc. It also supposedly helps with energy and focus. I decided to try a bottle of the juice, and I really like it. You need only an ounce of the juice for a theraputic dose of antioxidants, so I spike at least one water bottle/day spiked with Acai. Very few calories, it's not very sweet, and it's just enough flavor. I know I'm getting a good antioxidant hit, and I know I'm drinking more. I will admit, I think my focus at work has been a little better. I tried this one, but there a lots to choose from. Sure is better than soda!
