I have a seriously hard time drinking enough water. Not that I don’t like water. I do….  Just often slips my mind. Of course, I know how important it is to keep your body hydrated. So, this month I’ve made a concerted effort to drink more non-caffeinated beverages.

I think I tried every single flavored water out there. My criteria are these: Less than 20 calories per serving (preferably zero), sweetened with something other than nutrasweet/aspartime (hate that stuff), and not too hard to find.

Unfortunately, as luck would have it… my two favorite beverages seem to have been discontinued (Dasani Plus and Aquafina Alive). As I mourned their loss this week, I happened across a brand new beverage from SoBe – SoBe Lifewater. One of the first beverages in the U.S. to be sweetened with PureVia (stevia), I must say….. I have a new favorite. Lifewater comes in 4 calorie-free flavors (rest of them have 80 cals per bottle):

• Yumberry Pomegranate
• Fugi Apple Pear
• Black and Blue Berry
• Mango Melon

Not overly fond of the mango melon, but the others are fantastic. Yumberry Pomegranate is my favorite. High marks from the Smart Snacker!
