It’s official: I’m obsessed with Skinny Water. A little background about diet drinks and me: we don’t get along. I hate them – I’ll take a sip of them, make a vomitational expression and say something like, “I’d rather eat poo.” You get the point – I REALLY don’t like them. So when I received a box of Skinny Water, I was ready to pass it all over to Sarah (who can stomach them much better than I can!).
So I looked to my inner Anthony Bourdain, which always says go ahead and try anything once. And…drumroll…I actually really liked it! (Sarah tried the Goji berry one and it smelled and tasted like feet, so we say skip that one. But the others are delish.) Each flavor is devoted to a different “need,” such as Wake Up Orange Cranberry Tangerine for energy, Raspberry Pomegranate Crave Control to suppress hunger and Peach Mango Mandarin XXX-Detox to flush toxins from the body. The key ingredient they have is EGCG, which is the antioxidant in green tea that helps with weight control. After drinking one, you definitely have a burst of energy and I find I’m not hungry for a while after one. I guess there’s a reason Rachel Bilson, Fergie and Kristen Bell reportedly drink it!
But here’s what I really dig about it: it doesn’t taste chemical-y, it has zero calories (and zero guilt!) and it’s $1.49/bottle. Unfortunately for Sarah, she’s getting a lot less to sample than previously offered. But she can pop to Target or buy it online here.

That is actually one of our best selling products, and I would love for you to give it another try. It is also my personal favorite, so I really hope you change your mind!
