drenchers Archives - Stuff Parents Need

I think we all know that we are supposed to have at least 8 glasses of water each day, with each glass being 8 ounces. That’s a great thing to aspire to, and more power to you if you are able to do it every day or even most days.

I’m not so much hitting that mark.

The closest I ever came to it was when I was pregnant. I would get about 6 glasses in each day. And that took a great deal of effort on my part. I would have reminders pop up in my work calendar telling me to stop what I was doing and drink some water. Maybe I need to get those reminders going again, because I swear that’s the only reason I did it. I’m so fiercely loyal to my to-do lists!

I struggle for one main reason: water tastes so boring to me! I wish that it tasted super refreshing to me, but it just doesn’t.

A line of drinks has hit the market that is perfect for folks like me who would like to drink more water, but who find themselves ultimately uninspired to do so. Drenchers are drinks that go way beyond those vitamin or flavored waters you see on the market. I tried out all the flavors from their Fit ‘N Lean line, and I found that they tasted like an interesting combination of a flavored water and a fruit juice drink. The calories are more reminiscent of a flavored water, coming in at 10 calories per 8 oz serving. The sugar is also so low that it is a good choice for diabetics. I love fruit juice, but all those calories and the sugar make it not the healthiest choice. And flavored water, to me, is more exciting than water, but still a little bland. Drenchers seem to have incorporated the best of both worlds, offering a tasty beverage that will give you lots of vitamins and minerals, plenty of great flavor, and very little in the way of calories. Very cool!
