Make Mine Metromint!

I try to be virtuous about drinking enough water. But there are times where I long for something other than plain tap water. Recently, I sampled a new bottled beverage called Metromint.

One sip, and I was sold on its invigorating flavor. What’s special about Metromint that impressed me: it’s totally pure. There are no sweeteners, preservatives, or chemicals with unpronounceable names on the label. The product is available in different varieties, all flavored with that soothing taste of mint.

I’m currently completing my master’s degree in holistic nutrition, and I know about the value of mint. For example, it can help your digestive tract, reduce stress, and even ease congestion. And unlike mouthwashes, which typically contain alcohol, Metromint freshens your breath the natural way.

And every flavor of Metromint has zero calories or carbs – great for dieters!

My favorite varieties of Metromint include:

• Cherrymint water, which features real cherry essence and mint. Sweet and full of flavor!
• Orangemint water, which includes orange essence and mint. I live in California, and I can vouch that this version of Metromint really has the flavor of just-picked-from-the-tree oranges.
• Chocolatemint water, which reminds me of those irresistible chocolate-covered peppermint patties. Unlike those candies, though, which are loaded with sugar, Chocolatemint Metromint is sugar-free yet blissfully fragrant with its cocoa essence.
• Peppermint water, the original and purest in mint of the Metromint family. Every so often, I take a 5:30 am spin cycle class at my gym. It’s not easy getting up at 4:15 am, bleary-eyed, getting dressed, making it to the gym, and facing a high-intensity exercise class! BUT: when I experimented with drinking Metromint peppermint water just before and during the class, wheeeee! I was suddenly revitalized, energized, and revved to spin away. Metromint peppermint water definitely is my new gym buddy.
