I’m a health junkie and am always looking for new things to try. One of my favorite things is flavored water (but without the sugar!), and Spindrift did not disappoint. Spindrift stands behind the power of wholesome nutrition by being America’s only sparkling water made from real fruit—none of the highly processed additives found in many kinds of flavored water. They offer the following seven flavors: lemon, cucumber, grapefruit, raspberry lime, strawberry, orange mango, and blackberry. You can snag some at Target (because who doesn’t need a pack of these to go with your adorable Target finds?), Trader Joe’s, or online!
That mid-semester slump is hitting me really hard, and if you can relate, crack open a cold one of these with the girls! These are an easy, affordable way to treat yoself and feel fancy (pour one in a cute wine glass and throw on a good movie to top it all off!). I tried the unsweetened lemon and the unsweetened raspberry lime flavors. The lemon was my favorite! I’m not big on sweet drinks of any form, but you could easily add some liquid sweetener to these if that’s your thing. The raspberry lime was good, too, but I’d recommend cooling it off a little more than I did for it to taste its best.
Also, tons of great recipes are on Spindrift’s website, so you can bet I’m going to be trying all of the ones I can! Check out some of these.

Spindrift Fruitbowl Medley Mocktail
All fruit is invited to this party because it’s a Fruitbowl Medley Mocktail. Add whatever fresh fruit you’ve got on hand (we had mango, oranges, strawberries, and limes), a can of Orange Mango, and voila. A perfect summer sip that doubles as a snack.
