Looking for a great solution to keep your kids hydrated in a healthy way this summer? I know personally the woes and struggle it can be to keep your child’s beverages healthy but still drinkable. Bot beverages are a parent’s best buddy, I can’t wait to tote them around for my kids in the heat of our holiday time knowing that they aren’t injesting a ton of sugar.

Bot was created in 2006 by a husband and wife team (Cricket and Brian Allen). As parents of twin daughters, these savvy parents wanted to find a healthy, low sugar drink for their girls, but they weren’t able to find any on the grocery store shelves. That’s when mother invention stepped in, and they decided to create with a tasty and “good for you” drink that will hydrate kids without the sugar high.

I was sent several bottles of the Bot beverages to test with my team of taste testing critics (my kids). Let’s face it, if the kids won’t drink it then no matter how good for them it is, it won’t fly. We tried them both chilled and served at room temperature, the consensus was that everyone preferred the chilled Bot in our family. They come in subtle flavors of Lemon, Orange, Grape and Berry, and are fortified with Vitamin B which is essential for growth, energy production and energy release. The kids loved the Orange and Grape the very best. For my husband and I who also took our taste test, I loved the Lemon and he was a big fan of Berry.

Bot really stands out as fortified water with 75% less sugar than juice (no artificial flavor/sweeteners /preservatives), but still boasting a lovely flavor to entice your children to drink up. Of course developing good eating habits while your children are young will not only set them on a good course for overall health, but ease you the pain of trying to pull your kids off of sugar if they are accustomed to it. If you have little ones that love drinking soda or juices, they may shy away from Bot at first as they would notice the lack of sugar, but keep with it and keep offering them the healthy alternative, things will turn around.

The packaging for Bot is outstanding and definitely branded to appeal to kids and parents alike. Finding bot beverages is easy peasey, just visit their website and place your zip code in their handy store locater web page.

The next time you find yourself reaching for a juice box to satisfy your childs thirst, give Bot a shot! – Daria
