I was grocery shopping at Hy-Vee last week when I ran head first into a Nuun.

And I yelled, “HOLY FIT!”

No I didn’t.

But I was excited to see they were giving away samples of Nuun, these little flavored electrolyte tablets, that I first heard about from my friend Suzanne.

Nuun tabs are great for hydrating and replacing salt during and after a long workout…or any workout for that matter. Here’s what I like about Nuun:

• The packaging -> There’s not a lot of packaging like other sports drinks so you can feel better about your carbon footprint while you’re pounding out miles of your own footprints.
• The nutrients -> No sugar added! And there are only 6 calories and less than 1 carb per tablet. Nuun also contains electrolytes (sodium, potassium, magnesium, calcium)  and  a small amount of Vitamin C to help prevent cramping.
• The variety -> There are a lot of flavors to choose from. So far I’ve tried the Citrus Fruit and Tri-berry is up next!
• The taste -> Quite refreshing and not too sweet.

Now I really must go grab some water and a Nuun…after only having this stuff for a few days, it’s already becoming a habit!
