On most days, water is the only beverage I consume. Several years ago, when I was on a weight loss plan, I learned that I could cut a LOT of calories by sticking to water. I’m usually pretty good about sticking to water, but I do get tired of it. And when I’m “over” water, I usually turn to something that’s not great for me. Drinking water also sets a good example for my son, who would drink juice all day if I allowed it.
H2Organics offers flavorful, nutrient-enhanced waters to give you a healthy alternative to juices and sodas. The company makes “USDA certified organic nutrient enhanced water, containing specially selected blends of prenatal vitamins, minerals and nutrients.” The waters are low in calories, carbohydrates, sugar, and sodium. They’re also free from preservatives, artificial flavors or colors. The company recently launched a line of prenatal and postantal nutrient waters and a kid’s line. The waters are made with multi-filtered reverse osmosis purified water.
The line for moms includes a Prenatal and Postnatal option. Their Prenatal water (available in Mandarin Orange) contains Folate, Choline, B Vitamins, Zinc, Magnesium, and Selenium. The key ingredient is folic acid, which helps prevent birth defects and aids in healthy and normal fetal development. The 20 ounce bottle actually offers 2.5 servings but, realistically, it’s an amount most people could consume in one sitting. The entire bottle packs 50% of the vitamins/minerals listed above. It’s important to take that into consideration, since most pregnant women are also taking a prenatal vitamin. I actually like the Prenatal version better than the Postnatal version. It’s mildly sweet, unlike other electrolyte enhanced waters which tend to be too sweet. Even if you were to drink the entire bottle, you would only consume 100 calories and 25 grams of sugar (less than juices or soda).
The Postnatal water (available in Lime) contains B Vitamins, Biotin, Zinc, Selenium, and Fenugreek. Fenugreek is used to increase milk supply and is the key nutrient that distinguishes this water from the Prenatal version. The nutrients in this water also help to promote healthy glucose levels and maintain healthy digestion. The caloric, sugar, and sodium content is the same. I’m not crazy about the Lime flavor and I’d love to see the company develop both versions in additional flavors. While I think that the waters are a great alternative to juice or soda, I would probably only consume one a day to avoid taking in too many vitamins and minerals.
I find it incredibly difficult to get my son to drink water. My favorite product from H2Organics‘ line is their Kids’ Nutrient Enhanced Waters. Each 6.75 ounce serving contains 40 calories, 10 mg of sodium, 10 grams of carbohydrates/sugar, 100% Vitamin C, and 5% Calcium. They’re available in three flavors (Grape Berry, Strawberry Apple, and Orange Tangerine) and my son drank them the first week we got them. I only wish the kids’ waters included more vitamins/minerals.
You can find H2Organics at Whole Foods, Toys R Us, and Babies R Us.
