You might remember back in December when I reviewed some protein-enhanced products from Special K. I was not thrilled with the protein water because it contained sugar.
Last week, I received some samples of Special K2O Protein Water Mix to try. (I tried the Strawberry-Kiwi flavor, but my kids liked the Iced Tea and Pink Lemonade flavors.) The mix comes in a little tube which you can dump into a 16.9 ounce water bottle. Mix it up and you have a flavored drink with 5 grams of protein, 5 grams of fiber and zero grams of sugar per serving.
And, I thought it tasted good! My kids liked it, too.
The idea behind this drink mix is that it offers a portable way to take the edge off hunger between meals. We all know that protein and fiber are important in satisfying hunger, and this product offers a bit of both while avoiding sugar. I like this idea a lot! I like this product. It's nice to have another tool in the weight loss arsenal.
(You who are all about all-natural foods will probably want to steer clear of this product. Just so you know. I am all about artificial sweeteners, though, so this works for me.)
This item will be available in stores in August. I received no compensation for this review, other than the product itself.
