I’ll be honest, I’m not a huge fan of powder or tablet additives to water. When it comes to drinking water, it's the main source of liquid I drink, steering away from bubbly sodas, soda waters, and all the like. But plain water can be boring. So at times, I do like seeking other alternatives to make my water…not taste like water.
I’ve tried many similar products to Nuun, but never Nuun. That was until we had Kevin Rutherford, CEO of Nuun on the show for Episode 101: Fixing the Fundamentals! I like getting to experience the brands we have on the show, so in helping produce and edit the episode I get to learn more about them in a hands-on kind of way!
At first, I wasn’t thrilled to try it out as I don’t like the flavorings of most powder alternatives, especially when they lead with electrolytes, minerals, vitamins, magnesium, potassium, and whatever else brands can sneak in! In the past, the brands I've tried have been really salty, not appetizing, hardly dissolve, and in the end…not great.
As a person who works from home and doesn’t like to drink too much coffee, I decided to start trying Nuun but sampling their Daily Hydration Energy in the flavor Berry Blast. I used it as a midday pick me up instead of drinking a second cup of coffee. Overall, I really enjoyed it. It wasn’t chalky, it fully dissolved, and the flavor was spot on. I’ve noticed with some similar products that the flavor can taste weak and watered down, or will still have the salty taste due to the added electrolytes, etc.
I decided to keep testing out the products so I could truly determine if I was all in or not. Next up to try was the Sport Hydration, and I tried this one in the Fruit Punch flavor! I will say right off the bat I was a bigger fan of this one because they have more flavor options than the Daily Hydration Energy, nine more flavors to be exact. I noticed a lot of the same qualities with it not being chalky, fully dissolving, and the flavor being spot on.
Since my trial run with the Daily Hydration and the Sport Hydration, I've continued to try out a few different varieties, such as the Rest and Immunity packs, and they still remain to hit my five-star rating.
I can confidently say that Nuun is my favorite tablet to add to water! Go give it a try yourself, and learn more about Nuun in our most recent interview with Kevin Rutherford, CEO of Nuun!
