Ready to head out to the gym, travel to the park, or just brave a rough day at work?

Nope. You forgot something: Water! You'll soon be overheated, cranky, and very dehydrated. Then what? More coffee? I think not.

If you haven't already, you need to try Metromint water -- so cool you'll wonder why you haven't tried it sooner. Even the packaging screams 'cool'.

As most of you know, I am a water advocate (if there is such a thing) and water is one beverage in which I am particularly particular. Give me a bottle of Poland Spring and I'm satisfied. But flavored waters? Uggh. They're typically Kool-aid disguised as fad. I dismiss them outright. Basically, I'm against chemicals and artificial sweetners in food products; which most flavored waters are filled with!

However, Metromint is different. Without sounding too much like a commercial, this is the first flavored water that I keep coming back to on a regular basis. It's water infused with mint. Period. No artificial flavoring, no added calories, and no fake sweet taste. It's the perfect bottle of flavored water. To me it tastes like water with a refreshing instant cooling sensation. Come on you've all chewed gum, or ate an altoid and then drank water... you know what I'm talking about! And yes, this is that good.

Even better: They just introduced their newest flavor: Chocolatemint. Don't think milk chocolate, it's more like cocoa ... and it has an amazing cocoa flavor with a cool mint sensation. Like the rest of the Metromint family, Chocolatemint has no sweeteners, preservatives or calories. Not only is it my favorite, it's refreshing, and strangely addictive.
