Nuun GIVEAWAY

When the folks at Nuun reach out to you about trying their new electrolyte drink, you say "yes please" and then thank them graciously when the package arrives.

PS I received a ton of comments on my Instagram when I posted this picture about
the pineapple. Nuun did not send it. The hubby actually picked it up as a souvenir
from his trip to Bali last year. 


Now, I've gotta be honest with you - I am a HUGE water lover. I could (and often do) drink the stuff morning, noon and night (which can lead to frequent bathroom breaks - oops) and never get sick or bored of it. With that being said, I am well aware that often times one needs to replenish the body with more than just water.

Seeing as I have a deep affinity for water, I've never really searched out an alternative hydration plan. Most of the time I just reach for old fashion agua or whatever (low calorie) sports drink was on sale that week at the grocery store. I've gotta say, Nuun takes some getting used to (at least for me). It isn't like BAM full-of-flavor like some of the other sports drinks on the market AND it's carbonated, but having a clean way to replenish your body with electrolytes is AWESOME!

I know some of you are already Nuun lovers, while others of you may have never tried it before. Whichever category you fall in to, let me tell you, do I have some news for you?! Nuun is releasing a NEW product (okay, maybe not a completely new product, but a tried and true product that has been updated to a new and improved formula!)!

Source

New Nuun Active has the same optimal electrolytes, but now has a better absorption rate and with plant-based, natural ingredients. It is also certified gluten free, certified vegan, and certified for clean sport through Informed Choice.


One of the biggest differences between the current and new formula is the switch to plant-based sweeteners (monk fruit and stevia leaf extracts instead of acesulfame potassium) and to natural ingredients. New Nuun is also certified vegan (previously only some of the flavors were vegan). They've added 1g of non-GMO dextrose, which means calories are slightly higher than the current Nuun, but it improves the absorption rate and is still low overall (12 calories per 16oz). New Nuun is currently available at a few retailers including Whole Foods (ha, I bet some of you Nuun-aholics didn't even notice, did ya?!), but will be available more widely in early February when it will be available at Nuun.com (at that point all retail locations will make the switch to the updated formula).

    ReplyDelete
  84. I LOVE LOVE LOVEEEEE using Nuun to hydrate before, during, and after my workouts. Especially watermelon ;)

    ReplyDelete
  85. I tried Nuun for the first time in December and while I LOVE it, I didn't use it for marathon training because I read that it didn't have any carbs or sugar, which you need on marathon training runs, in my opinion.

    I use Nuun for hydrating in general. It jazzes up boring water and I actually feel better afterwards. I like using it before and after runs, but Gatorade or other sports drinks during.

    I've tried Strawberry Lemonade and Tropical Punch, the punch is my favorite so far :)

    ReplyDelete
  86. I love using Nuun before and after my workouts to get my hydration on - Strawberry Lemonade is one of my favorites!

    ReplyDelete
  94. you know those memes that have been going around...there should be one that says "steph doesn't hydrate. don't be like steph."

    ReplyDelete
  97. I also am a water lover and drink it all day long, but I discovered Nuun last year and love it after a long run. I think it helps me feel less dehydrated sooner when I'm naughty and forget to carry water with me!
