Vitamin water! I know, I know, you're thinking that I just wrote about hydration in my last post. You say you get it - it's hot, drink a lot of water, clear pee, blahdeeblah. Well, since then, I have discovered something that even has DH calling from the store asking me which flavors to get. It's Vitamin water by Glaceau.

There are many different flavors, each containing different combos of vitamins. I especially like to gulp down Revive, which contains potassium, after my long run on the weekend. Each bottle contains 2.5 servings, but that has never stopped me from downing the whole thing. The labels are clever and tell you what each one is suited for. Energy contains vitamin B plus guarana, which they claim gives you an extra "kick" - which also can be from the caffeine in it.

I know you really just want to know how they taste. They are basically true to the label: the fruit punch tastes like fruit punch. The lemonade tastes lemon-y but not as good as the real stuff. The good thing is they are not overly sweet - and they taste much better than Gatorade . But keep in mind they do not contain sodium, which is important after exercise to replace all the salt you sweat out (that's what pretzels are for!).

And if you are anything like me, your kids eat a lot better than you do. I make sure they have either a fruit or vegetable - if not both - on their plates at every meal. But there are times when I don't have the time to even eat, so I feel a little better knowing I'm getting my day's supply of Vitamin C when I drink the Power-C version of Vitamin water.

Glaceau (they also makes Smart Water, which tastes just like water but has added potassium and has our best Friend Jennifer Aniston as its spokesmodel) is not the only one making this stuff. I saw at Target today that Dasani has their version, as does Propel and Crystal Light (but beware, as an unnamed MWS writer once dyed her DD's shirt with the cherry-pomegranate pack, so imagine what it's doing to your insides). It is a personal preference which one you like best. Just make sure to check the sugar content!
