Just Bee Spring Water Drinks

One of my resolutions for the past couple of years was to drink more water and I have been sticking to it most of the time and the one thing that has been helping is flavoured water; so when I received the *Just Bee Spring Water Drinks which can be purchased from Selfridges, Fortnum and Mason and online, I was excited to give them a go.

The drinks are 100% natural, they contain less than 50 calories and they don't contain refined sugar or artificial sweeteners - natural honey is used as a sweetener. There are three flavours available, including:

- *Just Bee Lemon, Green Tea and A Hint Of Honey: Over the past year, I have become more and more obsessed with green tea - I adore all of the green tea drinks I have tried including the Hampstead Iced Tea Drinks and the amazing Teapigs Matcha Drinks. I loved this drink, it is so fresh, light and subtly lemony *if that's a word*. It's a tasty and refreshing way of drinking more water.

- *Just Bee Apple, Ginger and A Hint Of Honey: I am not a massive fan of ginger in drinks, on the whole, so I wasn't sure about this one but it turned out to be my favourite out of the three. The apple flavour is the most predominant and that is why I love it so much. It would be perfect for spring/summer.

- *Just Bee Blueberry, Lemon and A Hint Of Honey: Oh, the packaging is gorgeous - it's so cute and spring appropriate! I don't like blueberries so as with the previous drink, I wasn't sure if I would like this one. Sadly, this one is my least favourite, it is very fruity and the sweetest out of the three.

Overall, I love love love the first two flavours as they are so refreshing, tasty and are a great way of drinking more water; however I am not really a fan of the last flavour but I'm sure most people will be. I also love the packaging, branding and the ethos of the brand. Also 10% of the profits are donated to the brands charity partners including Friends of the Honey Bee which is fantastic! Overall rating: ★★★★★, 5/5.

Nuva Flavoured Spring Water Drinks

I feel as though I do tend to eat quite healthily but one thing I don't do is drink enough! Sometimes on a good day I will drink about 1,600ml of water which isn't enough for my daily intake but it isn't bad either. However on a bad day I may only drink 500ml which is a tiny amount and not enough for my body each day; I am trying to drink more water but I hate the taste so flavoured water has definitely been helping! 

I was kindly sent three of the new *Nuva Spring Water Drinks which were created by the marketing director of Evian. Nuva drinks are the first flavoured water drinks to be 100% free from preservatives, colourants, sweeteners, sugars and calories - how amazing is that, although it makes me think how much added sugar etc is in my regular flavoured water drinks. 

First up the Cucumber & Mint flavour which is the one I thought I would like the most but it is my second favourite of the three. The drink is so refreshing and the flavouring of the cucumber and mint isn't artificial or too strong - it is a 'kiss' of flavour as stated on the bottle. I would consider purchasing this one in the future! Overall rating: ★★★★☆, 4/5. 

Next the Ginger & Lemon flavoured drink which to be honest I knew I wouldn't like as I'm not a fan of ginger unless it's in ginger biscuits or gingerbread. The combination is nice, refreshing and perfect if you do like ginger flavours but I don't really get the lemon coming through. The flavour is subtle thankfully as otherwise I think it would be too much. Overall rating: ★★★☆☆, 3/5. 

Lastly, my favourite flavour of the three, Melon & Jasmine which actually sounds like the most unusual flavour  but in my opinion it's the nicest and the one I would definitely buy in the future.  The melon and jasmine flavours are very subtle which I love as it's sweet, juicy and refreshing - I didn't think I would like this one but it's delicious! Overall rating: ★★★★★, 5/5. 

Nuva drinks are available to buy in Boots and selected Wholefoods stores and are priced at £1.49 each (500ml).
