Drink more water with Waterdrop

Empower your water with Waterdrop Microdrink

A statement we are all familiar with: drink more water. As silly as it sounds it can be easier said than done. My taste buds just crave something sweeter. So when I discovered Waterdrop Microdrink I knew I had found a way to boost my daily vitamins, and drink more water daily without feeling like I was giving anything up.

Although I do drink water during the day, I tend to go for fruit juice with meals and copious amounts of coffee every other time. As a result I only drink about one bottle a day, which is something I wanted to rectify and improve on this year. Waterdrop couldn’t have come at a better time!

What are the benefits of a Microdrink?

I once read that the taste of water is its temperature.

Something I have never been able to get out of my head. I think we can all agree that water is best ice cold. But the fact it doesn’t have much of taste is an issue for a lot of people, myself included. It’s why I tend to gravitate to something with a little extra flavour.

Drinks like Vitamin Water are often filled with sugar, which makes them a lot worse for you then you may think. Although it can act as a gateway to staying away from fizzy drinks. Waterdrop is really the next step; zero sugar, contains valuable vitamins and fruit, and plant extracts. All things I love to hear.

As they are tin cubes, it’s so easy to take a few on the go with you. So you can avoid buying drinks while you’re out and about. Fill up your bottle, drop in a cube and you’re good to go! It’s been helping me curb my lunchtime fruit juice craving, and more importantly making water more exciting which has allowed me to drink more of it throughout the day.

The Waterdrop Microdrink Range:

Each box has 12 servings and at £6.99 a box they come to 58p per drink. Pretty great value, as it’s a third of the price of a standard bottled drink.

The capsules do come in plastic, however it’s significantly less than a plastic bottle (97% to be exact). So by making the switch to a reusable bottle and a microdrink tablet, the environmental impact is a lot less. I would like to see a even greener alternative down the line. Maybe a partitioned box (but I appreciate there is a freshness issue with this idea), the tubs can be recycled so for now I’m on board.

Meet the Flavours:

• Relax: Hibiscus | Aronia | Acerola
• Boost: Blackcurrant | Elderflower | Acai
• Clean: Herbs | Juniper Berry | Nettle
• Youth: Peach | Ginger | Ginseng | Dandelion
• Focus: Lime | Baobab | Acerola
• Zen: Star Fruit | Lemon Grass | White Tea
• Glow: Mango | Cactus Fruit | Artichoke
• Defence: Cranberry | Rosehip | Moringa
  

Dissolve in 400ml-600ml of still or sparking water

My personal favourite flavour is the Relax (hibiscus) but I have been enjoying trying them all. If you have ever had an effervescent tablet then you will know the enjoyment of watching it fizz away. (Another benefit to a glass bottle!) The colour the water turns really depends on the flavour as with the intensity of the taste. It’s worth getting a trial pack if you are curious about these, to allow yourself to experiment and find the flavours and water balance that works for you. They are a subtle and natural taste and better yet are getting me to drink more water, the all important goal.

Ways to drink more water

I’m a visual person, if something is not in the forefront of my mind I tend to forget about it. Having a beautiful glass water bottle has not only made it more exciting for me to drink more water but every time it catches my eye it reminds me to take another sip. Especially as I have a desk based job, having it next to my keyboard and topped up keeps me hydrated during the day. The taste of water gets a bit bland after all while so the variety of flavours has kept me engaged too.

I fell in love with the beautiful illustrations on the Microdrop glass water bottle but if you are looking for your water to stay colder for longer, an insulated steel bottle, can make all the difference. Having a bottle you want to drink from and setting a goal, whether it’s two bottles a day or more, is a great way to start a lifelong habit. You could even set a reminder on your phone to fill up your bottle and drop in a new tablet.

If you not great at sipping water throughout the day, try having a glass with meals. Flavouring my water has really made then swap easier for me too.
