A Very Nuuntastic Giveaway!

It's no surprise that I love Nuun.  You guys already know that from my self-professed undying love discussed in my Nuun Hood to Coast application.  But maybe you thought I was just saying that so they'd pick me?  I wasn't.

I LOVE Nuun.  This remains completely 100% true.  People love it for different reasons, however.  Like, for example, did you know that drinking Nuun is environmentally friendly?  It saves tons of water bottle waste from entering landfills each year!  But that's not one of my top reasons.  Sorry environment.  Here are my 3 big reasons for adoring Nuun:

1)  It's EASY.  It is hands-down the most convenient electrolyte-enhanced drink out there.  You don't have to worry about buying tons at the store and toting them around.  All you need is the little tube, and then that mixes with water you get from ANYWHERE (like from your own tap at home, from your work's bathroom, from the sketchy drinking fountain at the park you run at, etc.).  It doesn't get much more convenient than that.

 On my 22 miler I carried an extra tab of Nuun in a Ziploc bag so I could fill 'er up on the go!

2)  This is probably more like a bullet point of #1 - but YOU CAN BRING IT ON A PLANE.  Yep, since the FFA regulations tightened in 2006, Nuun because the #1 easiest method of drinking electrolytes while traveling (like when traveling to a Disney Princess Half Marathon in Orlando, for instance!). 

3)  It doesn't have sugar.  I love sugar, this we know.  However, I know it's bad for me, and I do try to limit my intake as much as is humanly possible without feeling like life is no longer worth living.  And as for fake sugar, I get enough of that as well.  Remember my obsession with creamer?  I get my daily allotted number of chemicals through that, thank you very much.  So the fact that Nuun doesn't have sugar or fake sugar chemicals makes me very, very happy, and makes me feel less guilty for either a) consuming extra, not-worth-it calories, or b) consuming extra, not-worth-it, fake sugar chemicals. 

My favorite flavors include Tropical (which wins by a landslide), Banana, Citrus, and Strawberry Lemonade.


Want to try some Nuun yourself?  Well my lovely loyal readers get a 15% discount!  Just use discount code "bloggerslovenuun".  And THAT'S NOT ALL!  (car salesmen much?)

I may be the first commenter. Benefit of getting up early, I guess.

I actually love nuun. I hate super sweet stuff, and I don't like sweet drinks much at all. So nuun is perfect for me. I carried it on my first marathon a few weeks ago!

I love Nuun, thanks to you- this was the first blog through which I heard about it, and your video was so awesome I had to go try it! And now I'm hooked! I love running with it since it doesn't get sticky when i inevitably spill it on myself. I even brought a tube of Nuun to my 8 hour Zumba instructor training.
Good luck in your upcoming marathon!!!

Nuun is actually my favorite way to hydrate! My favorite flavor is the old school orange ginger, but I don't think they make it anymore, with Citrus as a close second.
I LOVE nuun. It is one of my favorite electrolyte sources... I LOVE the grape, but I think I want to try tropical now.

Well, I mostly hydrate with water, but have discovered NUUN, not too long ago and love it! I already like you on FB and I do not have a twitter account but I would be happy to share it with my fb page and readers.

I was always a faithful gatorade drinker but nuun has so many more delicious flavours and I actually didn't know it had no sugar in it. Bonus! So, it has since become my favourite hydration drink. Thanks for hosting this great giveaway!

Nuun has been by my side ever since I started training for my first marathon, which is this Saturday. Forget the crap they're handing out at the "aid" stations, I'll have my Nuun with me for 26.2 glorious miles.
