Cool Stuff: MiO Liquid Water Enhancer
My wife always had said I need to drink more water.
I always used to drink iced tea, flavored tea, flavored drink and soda. Well, I found my solution to the bland, no taste feeling of water. My wife’s mom gave me a sample tasting of something called MiO Liquid Water Enhancer and I have never looked back.
MiO is made by Kraft Foods and comes in 6 different flavors of 1.62 FL.oz. MiO is different than other water flavoring, since MiO is liquid. The liquid aspect makes it nice since you don’t have to do much to mix well with water. I don’t like the grittiness of powder mixes if you don’t blend well enough. One bottle of MiO says it can make 24 servings. One serving usually is one to two ‘squirts’ of the MiO in a 8 FL.oz. size water. Cost is a little under $4.00.
I have tried all of the flavors and my favorites are Strawberry/Watermelon and Berry/Pomegranate. A great thing about my 2 favorite flavors is that I can get away with flavoring a whole 16.9 FL. oz. bottle of water with only one squirt of the MiO. This definitely prolongs use. The other flavors (Mango/Peach, Peach Tea and Fruit Punch) need at least 2 squirts and the Sweet Tea flavor needs at least 2 1/2 per bottle for my liking.
MiO is made from usual ingredients in other drink mixes, such as, water, malic/citric acid, flavoring, coloring; but MiO also contains sucralose and acesulfame which are artificial sweeteners. Sucralose is approximately 600 times and acesulfame is approx. 200 times sweeter than sugar, so I believe that the amount they are using is very small (I hope). Both are low/zero calorie, so it’s good for you calorie counters. I checked out the Kraft Foods website and it says MiO it is ok for pregnant women and children, but I would stay away from it anyway, since it is artificial. You can check out more at their site at http://www.kraftbrands.com/mio/ and they even have a Facebook page where you can ‘Like’ them.
I now drink about 8-10 bottles of water a day, which is great. I can already notice I am starting to lose some weight and my body is going through a detox effect from all the other crap I had ingested before. I wish I had known about this ‘Water Enhancer’ sooner.
I’m hooked on MiO and think you should give them a try. Look for them at your local grocery store in the drink mix aisle.
