Is Watermelon the New "It" Water? We Tried It!
Similar to coconut water,
WTRMLN WTR Cold-Pressed Juiced Watermelon isn't flavored H2O -- it's essentially watermelon juice. Here's more need-to-know info...
The Stats
An 8-oz. serving has 60 calories, 0g fat, 0mg sodium, 15g carbs, 1g fiber, 12g sugars, and 1g protein (
PointsPlus® value 2*). BTW, that sugar count comes only from the fruit itself; there's no added sugar in this sipper.
The Benefits
Since it's cold pressed, the juice retains more nutrients and enzymes than it would with traditional juicing methods -- vitamin C, lycopene, electrolytes, and more. It's also Earth friendly, since the brand uses melons that would otherwise be discarded for aesthetic blemishes.
The Official HG Take
Super yummy! It is a
bit sweet, but that's not a bad thing... We diluted it with water, making those 60 calories go even further. Perfection! Oooh, and it would also be great mixed with sparkling water.

3 Things to Know About Right Now…
1. Wendy's is testing a mega-nutritious Power Mediterranean Chicken Salad.
We're talking chicken, hummus, sun-dried tomato quinoa, feta cheese, tons of veggies... WOW. Before dressing,
the full-sized salad has 340 calories, 10g fat, 960mg sodium, 26g carbs, 7g fiber, 8g sugars, and a whopping 39g protein (
PointsPlus® value 8*). Impressive! The light balsamic adds 90 calories and 4g fat. It's only in select locations for now, but we really hope it makes the cut and becomes a regular menu item.
2. A cheaper Whole Foods chain is becoming a reality.
Earlier this year, we reported that a less-expensive Whole Foods spinoff was on the way, and now more details are rolling in.
365 by Whole Foods Market will feature everyday low prices on natural and organic products across the country.
Beginning next year, locations will start sprouting up in Washington, Texas, California, Ohio, and Oregon. As lovers of both nutritious eats and good bargains, we're super excited about this!
3. When you combine pumpkin pie, cannoli goodness, and ice cream cones, the results are mind-meltingly delicious.
