Fizz Fruity Sparkling Water (bubbles with benefits!)

FIZZ is a brand of sparkling waters, sold in four fruity flavours. All four versions contain ingredients to support wellbeing:

• Lime and Mint contains natural sources of caffeine (guarana and kola nuts).
• Pineapple and Coconut dandelion leaf and baobab for good digestion.
• Raspberry and Cranberry contain acerola fruit for immunity.
• Mango Mandarin has a berry for good nervous system.

All the drinks are sweetened with cocoa juice, leftover from the pulp of making chocolate.

These refreshing ice lollies are made by combining a can of sparkling fruit water with 100g of oat yoghurt and 2 tablespoons of Sweet Freedom Vegan Honee. Stir in 25g of organic freeze-dried fruit, insert lolly sticks and freeze overnight.

How Much Water Should We Drink?

We need water to keep cool, remove waste, and help our joints, brains and eyes (fresh water is also found in raw product like watermelons and bananas). The average person needs around 1.2 litres of water a day (more for athletes, hot weather, some medical conditions and after vomiting/diarrhoea).

So how much is 1.2 litres? Around 6 x 200ml glasses. So drink 2 glasses when you wake up, another 2 before lunch and dinner, and in a couple of weeks you’ll be hydrated.

The caveat is that your body loses water with tea, coffee, cola and alcohol. So add an extra glass, for each one of those you drink. It’s easier to reduce caffeine and alcohol, so you are not guzzling water all day to compensate.

What Kind of Water Should Pets Drink?

Never give fizzy water to pets, as it could cause bloat. 

Spring and filtered water are fine, you may find health and fur improves. But vets say that (unless medically given) to avoid distilled water (removes minerals and electrolytes).

Don’t let pets drink from puddles. It may taste nice to them, but could contain remnants of bacteria, oil or antifreeze.
