Just Tried a New Product: Mio Liquid

I saw the commercial on television and saw it yesterday at the local Walmart. Its the new Mio Liquid Water Enhancer. I picked up the Berry Pomegranate flavor and just tried it. Zero calories and tasty, but what I like the best is the ability to squirt just a little into your water or a lot. I might want it stronger for a substitute for a yummy fruity drink but just a squeeze into my running water bottle was just right. Just a light, barely sweet taste to make my water just a little less "ho hum."

Thought I'd share. No idea how the other flavors are, but if you try 'em, let us know!

:drinker:

    Thanks for the post -- I saw a coupon for those this weekend and wondered how they were. I think the packets that you put in a bottle of water are way too sweet, so I think these would be perfect!

    My fiance came home the other day with a bottle of each flavor of Mio. I was thinking this could be a good, sugar free, zero-calorie substitute for Crystal Light. I have to say, though, I was majorly disappointed. I found there to be a significant fake aftertaste, and I'm not someone who is usually bothered by artificial sweeteners. That said, my fiance absolutely loves several of the flavors, so it's definitely worth a shot if you're looking for something to add to your water without adding sugar or calories.

    Does anyone know if there is sodium in them?

    Sounds good! How are these sweetened? I can't use Crystal Light because I'm allergic to aspartame, so I prefer things sweetened with Splenda.

    While MiO has no artificial flavors, it does have artificial colors, artificial sweeteners and preservatives. That's something some of the smaller brands have avoided.

    it contains SPLENDA

    I have all the flavors and like them all! :) I usually have one or two different flavors floating around in my purse so I always have some with me, Im not big on plain water and these are so much easier than crystal light.

    I've tried the fruit punch (very good) and the sweet tea (went straight to the trash! ).
