Mio liquid water enhancer

I don't use it since it has sucralose in it. Anything that is artificially made is not good for you. I just put a large wedge of lemon in mine.

I love it!! I even give it to my kids instead of juice. I buy the 3 packs from sams.

Wow can all you Americans send up some cool new flavours to me? (I am assuming it's the Americans that have so many flavours, because they had Mi0 before us.

We only have Berry-Pomegranate, Peach-Mango, Strawberry-Watermelon and Fruit Punch here! I would LOVE to try some of the new flavours! Sooo jelaous!

BTW I drink Mi0 all day, except when I work out. If I am working out I drink just plain water. I think the flavour might make me feel a bit ill while working out.

In my opinion, artificial sweeteners are bad. So I stick with plain water.

Bought some this summer and I love it! When you're trying to cut out all sugary drinks, it's nice to have something sweet and refreshing every once in a while.

As for whether or not it's "bad" - is it sweetened with aspartame? I know you have to be careful with artificial sweeteners like this. Shouldn't be too much of a problem as long as you're having it in moderation.

I use it sometimes. I dont feel like it gives me any energy or anything...it is just a taste....

I drink it a lot as well. I have a bad feeling some report will come out one day saying there is something bad because 0 of everything seems too good to be true.

That being said I have used it and continue to use it and it hasn't impeded weight loss in any way.

I HAVE THAT SAME FEAR!!! :O)

I have a flavor water technique, and I love it!

1 pitcher

2 sliced apples

2 whole cinnamon sticks

and 1 orange

put all ingrediants in the pitcher, fill with water and let sit in fridge for about 2 hrs. Serve over ice! Great alternative for plain water, and it is supposed to be a natural metabolism booster!

(you could use any fruit combo you wanted, and I refilled my pitcher at least twice with the same fruit:)

Hope that helps

That sounds GREAT! I've gotta try this recipe!

I will say I LOVE MiO; however, the wasted plastic container as well as the questionable ingredients have me cautious about it. I'm not saying I won't use it, but just that I'm researching better alternatives.

So far my favorite alternative: mix 3 Tbsp of pure sugar with a cup of hot water and let it dissolve. Then add that to a pitcher of cold water until you reach 2 quarts; drop 9 frozen strawberries in the bottom (they blend with the water quicker than fresh strawberries) and let it sit in the frig for a while. According to MFP recipe calculator, this means there are only 10 calories in each 8 oz glass of this sweet little "Strawberry Water" that you can drink all day long to get your 64 oz. Two out of my three little ones approve; I myself LOVE it!

Our next experiment: letting slices of watermelon soak in the bottom of a pitcher. I also suspect oranges would be good. The little bit of sugar doesn't add enough calories per glass to throw off my diet, but the flavor is just right for me to suck it down! I may try subbing some honey instead of sugar. The key is dissolving it in the hot water before adding it to the cold to get a good blend.

I got these ideas from the Prodyne Fruit Infusion Pitcher reviews; I want that pitcher, but i live on an island and they don't sell them here, so this is my alternative. The pitcher would probably have less residue in your drink, but you can always just strain it as you're pouring it.

It's not as much work as it sounds, but I still may use MiO around here once in a while when I'm lazy or out of frozen fruits.

I used to put it in every glass of water I drank, it seemed to good to be true. Then I realized that the main ingredient, propylene glycol is used in non toxic antifreeze. It's not the same as ethylene glycol, which will kill you, but um.... if it goes in a car engine it does NOT need to be in my body.

Plus I think it made my already bad headaches worse.

I love Mio and I think most of the flavours are great.

One of the things I like best about it is that it allows me to easily regulate how much flavour to put in my water. I don't want the strong taste most of the time. Just a hint of flavour.

Never tried it, I either put crystal light lemon ice tea, powdered green tea or the arizona ice tea powder

I looked at it at the store and decided I didn't want to consume all those weird chemicals.

That is a common misunderstanding MIO has propylene glycol which a common food addititive and is safe, Antifreeze is Ethylene Glycol which is very harmful.

Thank you! I knew the antifreeze rumor was wrong, but couldn't remember what the actual antifreeze was.

Wikipedia has ruined a lot of perfectly good foods for a lot of people. Mio is fine, it tastes great, I wouldn't add it to water though, turns out water is a primary ingredient in tsunamis.

I get the Great Value (Walmart) brand and love it. I just got a co-worker hooked on it today. While, I don't count it as my daily water intake, it is zero calories and adds some flavor to water.
