Mom Said It Was Okay

 I do not drink soda. I stopped a few years back upon discovering that the aspartame in my favorite diet soda was the source of my migraines. Seven years later I am migraine and soda free. A few years back I bought a Soda Stream so my kids would not be drinking High Fructose Corn Syrup. I figured I should probably care as much about their health as I do about mine. Over time I have noticed that they are frankly too lazy to make their own soda. I
frankly LOVE the soda stream but only drink the flavored water. I also noticed that when people came to my house I had nothing to offer them but water unless I made a bottle of soda just for them.


I have now started trying to find drinks that are not high in sugar, are taste approved by my kids and Agent Daddy, and that I will actually drink as well. So here are some of my favorites.

On- In a world filled with energy drinks, most of which I would NEVER give my kids, this is a drink
I like and is all natural. It does have a natural boost with vitamin B and natural caffeine.

ON's key ingredient,Ornithine, is an amino acid that stimulates the breakdown of carbohydrates, proteins and fat-resulting in the release of stored energy and boosting endurance. Ornithine also reduces ammonia-which is harmful to the body and brain, causing fatigue, confusion, slower thinking speed and poorer memory. ON beverages increase stamina, boosts brainpower and enhance focus.

ON offers five naturally lightly sweetened, low calorie flavors:

• Blueberry Lemonade
• Tropical Citrus
• Dragonfruit Tangerine
• Peach Mango
• Raspberry Limeade

ON is currently available in 20 states at retailers like Gelson's, Fresh & Easy, Keil's, Bristol Farms, Amazon and more. You can find the nearest retailer to you at the following link: http://onbeverages.com/on-near-you/.

   
  Nawgan- School is in and I want my boys to do as well as possible in school. Any "brain food" I can sneak into their mouths I am willing to do. They actually like the taste of this. They said it was a little on the weak side, I thought the flavor was perfect.
 
Finally, there is a proven way to improve brain function without the need to play endless "mind teasers" or having to take awful tasting formulas and pills. Evidence is mounting that Nawgan Beverage, which comes in 6 delicious flavors, and its key ingredient citicoline help to increase brain function.

Nawgan was recently clinically proven to improve brain function by increasing alertness, attention and cognitive response by an independent study.

Created by a board-certified clinical neuropsychologist, Nawgan is a 11.5 ounce, low-calorie drink available in six flavors, all which are low in sodium and a significant source of citicoline, Vitamin E, Vitamin B6 and Vitamin B12:

• Mandarin Orange
• Strawberry Kiwi
• Red Berries
• Lemonade (zero calories)
• Grape (zero calories)
• Mango Lemon Lime (zero calories)

Cascade Ice-
