Refresh with Cactus Water-Based Sports Hydration Beverage

product received for review consideration

I live in California in an area called the Central Valley. This area is where they grow a lot of nuts, fruit, and all kinds of produce. Needless to say it’s hot here.

The last few days have been in the hundreds and while I try to stay in when it’s extra hot, I do also get my swimming in as often as possible.

Sometimes you can’t drink enough water or you feel like you’re going to float away because you are drinking a lot. I was asked to check out a new product that I was very curious about.

Refresh with Fat Leaf Cactus Water-Based Sports Hydration Beverage

The product is flavored cactus water. I find it intriguing because many countries actually harvest the cactus and have found that it is wonderful for quenching your thirst and hydrating your body, especially in higher heat areas.

Check out this video that explains all about this product! What is Fat Leaf Water? Loaded with electrolytes, locally sourced and environmentally friendly, cactus is an overlooked natural solution for hydration.

The folks at Fat Leaf have created three unique flavors to check out. I have never tried this type of an item before, so I had no idea what I was getting into. But the flavors sounded refreshing and being berry lover, I opted to try that one first.

MOJAVE CITRUS – combination of blood orange and tangerine, creating a tart-sweet flavor along with turmeric and black pepper to increase the health benefits and provide nice kick.
KEY LIME MIRAGE – a unique earthy flavored with a refreshing foundation of Key Lime and a hint of mint
RIMROCK RED – made from a mix of raspberries and blueberries offering a sweet profile, with just a touch of tartness.

I was quite surprised. The flavor is extremely mild. There’s no one flavor trying to take over. You can chug it with no issue.

Looks a little pulpy in the bottom of the bottle, so I wasn’t sure if it’s going to have more of a juice texture. But it wasn’t thick; it was just simply a refreshing taste.

All three of the flavors were very light and refreshing. Even the Citrus that I figured would have like a stronger lemon lime flavor was not at all. It’s just like an essence of flavor which is perfect for quenching your thirst.

The company is brand new and is trying to do a kick starter to get their product moving, however right now it’s on hold because of the Covid stuff, but expect them to be back in the processing mode ASAP.

This Fat Leaf Water is a perfect item for those living in high heat and those that exercise outdoors. Being able to add critical nutrients and rehydrate quickly is key and this product is definitely one for that.
