Zevia Tonic Water Review & Giveaway (Now Non-GMO + Color-Free!)

Disclosure: Zevia provided free product for me to review. I was not compensated in any other way and all opinions are my own.

Zevia zero calorie soda giveaway

Zevia is no stranger in our house. I’ve published several posts on this healthy soda explaining why it means so much to me and even held a giveaway before. Oh yeah, and I’ll never forget the first time Avery took her first sips of the Smarter Soda. It take long until she was reaching for more!

Being free of artificial preservatives and sweeteners, naturally sweetened with stevia, and tasting delicious is what made us instant fans years ago. But now Zevia has stepped up their entire line of healthy beverages to be Non-GMO Project Verified and free of any added color. This means no more caramel color in any flavor, so they’ll be clean and clear, just like their list of ingredients.

It takes a lot of work to go through the process of becoming Non-GMO Project Verified, and Zevia did it for us, the health-conscious consumer. Thank you, Zevia!

When I heard of their newest addition, Tonic Water, I had to try it for myself. Lucky for me, they agreed to send some to try and review. Okay, and I’m sure a little cheesy-grinned persuasion from Avery helped too.

Upon its arrival, I was ready for my first taste. After checking out the cool white cans, that is.

Well, then we had to take a picture of her caterpillar next to the can…

Annnnnddd, THEN I opened it up to try. By itself, it tastes slightly bitter with a dry hint of citrus and a clean mouth feeling. Nothing to write home about, but who writes home about soda anyway? Just call to tell them how awesome Zevia is, no time to write!

Since tonic water is not meant to drink alone (it’s a mixer), I used the rest of the open can to make a little mocktail for Avery and myself.

Obviously, Zevia + Zevia = delicious awesomeness, so I made a 50/50 mix of Zevia Strawberry and Tonic Water after a hot walk under the Texas sun. The result did not disappoint, we both loved it and the drink was gone in no time.

After another day in the heat (I think it’ll be like this for a while), I got creative and pureed watermelon and added a little Zevia Tonic Water for a little refreshing fizz.

And we have another winner!

Yes, there were seconds……then thirds. Then I had to change her diaper from all of the liquid intake. Gotta keep’em hydrated in the heat!! But after the diaper change, someone apparently was not done….

Oh yeah, and of course their tonic water is perfect to enjoy our adult beverages without weighing us down from sugary, high calorie mixers. Vodka Tonic, anyone?

These two over ice after getting the kiddo to sleep is a nice way to wind down a crazy day with a toddler, a long day at work, or just to relax.

With plenty of summer left, I plan on finding other fun, refreshing, and most importantly, healthy ways to use Zevia’s Tonic Water as well as all of their now color-free and Non-GMO flavors. Check out the list of recipes for their Tonic Water on Zevia’s site for some creative ideas perfect for both kids and adults.

Oh, and maybe it would help if you were to win a 6 pack of Zevia to get things started, huh? Well, lucky you, I have just the thing; a chance for 3 readers, that’s you, to enter for a chance to win a voucher to pick up a six-pack of any Zevia flavor you want!

Microsoft Surface 3 Tablet Giveaway

How would you like to win a new Microsoft Surface 3 Tablet? As a lover of tech and a hater of my old iPad 2, I would absolutely love winning this tablet!

I know I’m a Dad, but I’m proud to be part of the Moms Affiliate Team that allows me to host this giveaway to you, my fellow readers. I didn’t have to, but it doesn’t take much to help spread the word, and if it gives you a shot at winning something (i.e. not having to pay for it!), then I’m more than happy to share. All I ask is that you give me $5,000,000. Fair?

Okay, just kidding. All you have to do is follow the directions in the widget below and sit back to wait and see if you win. Crossing fingers may not help your odds in the slightest, but I’d recommend doing it anyway.

Good Luck!!

 

A Special Father’s Day Giveaway from PicturesOnGold.com

This Father’s Day, why not get the Dad in your life something unique and sentimental? Even better, what if you could WIN that special gift for that special guy?

Well, the kind folks at PicturesOnGold.com is offering one of my readers (that’s you), such an opportunity.

Instead of a new tie and socks for Dad, the equivalent of flowers from the gas station on Mother’s Day, give him a Sterling Silver Photo Dog Tag Pendant complete with an 18 inch Sterling Silver Chain.

PicturesOnGold.com

The winner will receive the Photo Dog Tag Pendant shown above, along with a permanently engraved photo that can be in color or black & white, and a personalized message on the reverse side. The item is valued at $134.95, but for you, it can be free!

Don’t worry, I won’t tell you won it so you can say you had to pull all kinds of strings to get it. 😉

I’m a sentimental guy, just ask my wife and she’ll roll her eyes at all the “junk” I keep, and having something like this dog tag with a favorite photo and heartfelt message would be perfect. It’s not massive so I can have it with me everywhere to remind me I am loved. That can be the difference from a bad day staying bad to turning good after a quick look at the picture and message.

To enter for your chance to win, simply follow the required steps below and you’re good to go!

I will announce the winner soon after the giveaway ends on Sunday, June 21.

I have more exciting news to announce very soon, so hope you come back. Have a great Monday and Good Luck!
