Healthy Drinking with VBlast! Water

One of my goals for 2012 is to drink more water and less Diet Coke. For those of you who know me well, you know that this is a HUGE challenge for me. I looooove my Diet Coke. I need it first thing in the morning. It's like my "coffee", except I drink caffeine-free DC. Yeah, I don't even drink it for the caffeine. I just love the taste and carbonation.

Since I've returned to the gym regularly, drinking water has become a habit. I feel better. My skin looks better. The only problem is water can be boring. I like some flavor every so often, but flavored water contains too much sugar. Ick! Add some vitamins too, and you've got me hooked!

I thought I had tried every type of flavored and vitamin-enhanced water out there. Until I was introduced to VBlast!, a sugar-free, spring water that contains natural flavors and vitamins.

VBlast! is a unique water in a sea of bottled waters that pale in comparison.

VBlast! contains:

• NO sugar
• ZERO calories
• NO carbs
• NO caffeine

The most unique feature of VBlast! is the cap. Yes, the cap! The vitamins are stored in the cap in a concentrate NOT diluted in the water where they can lose potency over time. You decide when to release fresh, liquid vitamins into pure spring water. When you decide to drink VBlast!, you twist the cap to activate the benefits of 100% potent vitamins.

VBlast! is available in 8 flavors and can be found at delis, convenience stores, and grocery stores or can be ordered directly from the Web site here:

• Strawberry-Kiwi
• Green Tea
• Wild Berry
• Acai & Berry
• Peach Tea
• Pomegranate-Cherry
• Grape
• Orange

My favorite flavor is the Green Tea. It's a perfect substitute for iced tea but a much healthier version, of course. Peach Tea was a close second. Whenever I am not drinking Diet Coke, I am usually drinking iced tea, which is why I preferred the tea flavors.

In addition to great taste, I also love that I control the amount of vitamins that I get from the water. After my workouts, I tend to go heavy on twisting the cap of VBlast. But there are other times when I don't want or need as many vitamins. There are days when I get most of my vitamins from my diet or from supplements. Having that kind of control is important to me.

I also love that keeping the water and the vitamins separate from one another maintains the potency and the freshness of the drink.

I take a bottle to the gym with me. I keep a bottle in my car. I keep a bottle on my desk as I work.
