Product Review: MIO Liquid Enhancer

1781859_10202103245476909_1378957071_oAs most of you know I have been a HUGE soda drinker over the years, and that is how I gained most of my weight is from soda and not working out. So when I decided to change things in my life I knew one of those big hurdles for me was going to be how to get enough water in on a daily basis as water is boring to me. So I tried some Crystal Light drinks flavorings and those were fine but my two biggest problems about them is that each container still contained calories and also it made my drinks really super sweet. It didn't feel like I was drinking water anymore but instead indulging in something naughty and that is not what I was looking for.

My new mindset is that I have a very very limited amount of calories that I am allowed to have on a daily basis and I don't want to use them in any of my drinks, when I could instead be enjoying some fruits or veggies. So the next thing I found was the MIO Liquid enhancers, and one of the things I loved the most about this was that you control how much flavor you wanted in your drink. You were not forced to use a whole package and then stuck with a drink that tasted to sugary sweet that it no longer felt like you were drinking water. Some of the other things I really liked about the MIO was ease of use, this was small and compact and so easy that I always keep at least one in my purse at all times, for when I am out and about and need to refill my water I am prepared. The other thing I really loved about the MIO design is when you open the lid you do not have to worry that if you accidentally knock it over that you will be spilling the flavoring all over your counter, it has a spill proof top.

MIO Liquid is a product produced from the Krafts Food Company, which made me feel a little bit better because it was a National reconized and trusted brand making this. The bottles say on the front of them that will help flavor up to 24 glasses of 8 ounces of water, I know I can keep one and use it for up to three weeks easily. They seem to last a long time and at $3.50 per bottle that is so much cheaper, than supplying yourself with three weeks worth of sugary drinks. Another great aspect of the MIO is that they have alot of varities that you are sure to find one flavor that suits your needs, below is a list of their current flavors.

Cherry Blackberry
Orange Tangerine
Berry Pomegranate
Strawberry Watermelon
Blueberry Lemonade
Fruit Punch
Lemonade
Sweet Tea
Peach Tea
Mango Peach
Cranberry Raspberry

So my personal opinion is that the MIO liquid is a great alternative if you do not the taste of plain water and you are looking for a little kick to your water. The MIO liquid is zero calories so you can add as little or as much as you want and not have to worry about the calories. Personally I have a 24 ounces water bottle and I will use 3 squirts and it is quite flavorful without being sickening sweet. The convenience of the small container, spill proof top and ease of being able to take it anyway is a huge plus in my book. If you use MIO let me know which one is your favorite.
