Intrigued,\u00a0I accepted an offer to\u00a0test them out.<!--more--><\/p>\n<p>Developed by Swedish company GoodIdea, the sparkling water is unsweetened, all natural, vegan and non-GMO. Its main health benefit is that is has a proprietary blend of five amino acids and chromium that helps the body reduce blood sugar levels by 20-30% following a carb-rich meal.<\/p>\n<p>&#8220;We&#8217;re on a mission to bring health to the table,&#8221; GoodIdea CEO Bj\u00f6rn \u00d6ste said in a statement. &#8220;We see a trend coming, where people replace their sugary drinks with water, and adding the functionality of Good Idea, we are at the forefront.&#8221;<\/p>\n<p>(If the company GoodIdea sounds familiar, it&#8217;s because it also is the company behind\u00a0Oatly oat milk.)<\/p>\n<p>All three flavors&#8211;orange mango, dragon fruit and lemon-lime&#8211;are fairly true to their name. Dragon fruit is the &#8220;sweetest&#8221; of the three and my favorite. If you&#8217;re not into sparkling water, this would be your choice.<\/p>\n<p>Meanwhile, orange mango has a strong aftertaste, and lemon-lime is the mildest in flavor. I sort of hate to admit this, but I also tried them mixed with vodka, and the resulting cocktails were quite enjoyable.<\/p>\n<p>Besides helping to reduce the slump after meals, Good Idea is tasty enough to replace Klarbrunn or LaCroix as your choice of sparkling water. You can buy a 12-pack online for $29.95, and you can find Good Idea using the <a href=\"https:\/\/goodideadrinks.com\/store-locator\/\" target=\"_blank\">store locator<\/a>.<\/p>\n","protected":false},"excerpt":{"rendered":"<p>Good Idea, a healthy alternative to sugary sodas, made its American debut last year.
