If you were watching closely you might have seen the very subtle change in the cups that appeared on the judges table during  American Idol.  Instead of  the usual Red Coca Cola Cups, they were replaced with yellow and white “Vitamin Water Zero.”  Even though this new coke product hasn’t hit the shelves, the marketing team has already made an impact on America with this hit show.

Rumor has it that the new glasses will disappear once “Hollywood Week” passes and the previous red cups will be back.  Don’t worry American Idol didn’t lose Coke as their sponsor, Vitamin water is own buy this huge corporation.

The newest edition to the cola family is sweetened with stevia.  A good replacement for aspartame drinks.

It seems the new judge, Ellen has hopped on the ban wagon by promoting this product on her own show and giving it away in boat loads to her audience!  We love this company for giving us another calorie free option!

In past articles we spoke of the dangers of artificial sweeteners.  It seems as though finding low calorie or no calorie drinks is quite the hassle if you are trying to avoid the poison (known as aspartame).  The key to low calorie drinks is finding ones that contain stevia; the only true calorie free, non detrimental sweetener.  However, finding these products isn’t easy!  My local 7 Eleven had this drink with a cool bottle, along with some much needed caffeine for my crazy split shifts; all without the poison!

At first glance you are drawn to the interesting looking cap.  I had no idea what I was buying at the time, but this cool innovative drink spells it out for you on the lable.  With a simple twist of the cap a powder substance is released into the water. Here’s what it contains…

  • Tea catechins
  • EGCG
  • Acai Extract
  • Pomegranate extract
  • Stevia
  • Tea polyphenols
  • Aloe Vera
  • Bilberry Extract
  • Coenzyme Q10

The bottle claims that over time vitamins lose their potency in water.  By releasing the ingredients right before you drink it you get 100% of the potency of the ingredients.  In just 30 days the tea catechins lose 53% potency.

The drink tastes excellent and it does give you that much needed boost of energy.  Try it out.  Visit their site to find locations selling it near you!  Go to www.activatedrinks.com
