| I'm not sure if it's bad luck or if I have some seriously negative newsletter karma, but AFTER I finish each week's article, I find the perfect food (or beverage in this case) for it. Now that I just finished the article Diet Soda: The Diet Killer, I found this perfect soda substitute. No artificial sweeteners, no sodium and tastes a whole lot like soda! I liked the two flavors I tried - lemon and orange - however this is available in pure, berry, cran-raspberry or lime that I'm totally dying to try. I found these at my local natural foods store for 50 cents a can. An all around awesome "soda" score! |

| This water is all natural and has a very fresh, cool spearmint taste! I had seen reviews of spearmint water in the expensive Hint brand, so I was ecstatic to see this in the Anchor Farms (Target brand). Delicious, affordable and all natural - which means no salt or artificial sweeteners that come with many 0 calorie drinks! |

| This sweet and delicious decaffeinated superfruit green tea is pretty much the most awesome tea ever. Green tea is already a great antioxidant, but now the pomegranate seeds that have been added to this one give it double antioxidant status: the pomegranate contains powerful antioxidants, amino acids, vitamin C and potassium. I choose decaf so I can sip it in the evening to curb my late night snack attack (It helps, really!). This tea a little insanely expensive, so I'm trying to find some cheaper options. Also, this is obviously not meant to replace eating a real pomegranate, so if you like those and they are in season, they are the best option. |

| There are a lot of flavored waters out there, but none come close to tasting as good as Metro Mint...not to mention the crazy number of good flavors they offer, such as cherrymint, peppermint, lemonmint, orangemint and this featured one and my favorite, chocolatemint. Nobody else has a chocolate mint flavored water that I know of, and it is TASTY. Metro Mint waters do not contain any artificial sweeteners or sodium, just pure natural taste (which is why these cost more). These are a great way to convince yourself to drink more water if you are having a hard time - delicious and good for you! |
