Updated, now less exciting - Exciting Nuun News

[mfluder]

To me at least.

They are going all natural and removing the artificial sweetener. Four flavored first as of June 1, which will be available at whole foods. The remainder Jan 1 and everywhere. I'm at a race and Nuun rep just told me this after I told him I loved the product but not the sweetners they used.

Update: In my excitement I stopped by whole foods to get the new ones today and I was lied to. Totally has stevia. Does have monk fruit too but I'm not thrilled.....

I <3 you, as I SPECIFICALLY asked this with he said no artificial sweeteners. No, no stevia. Its some weird fruit name I don't remember, which would have been helpful.

I'm liking his excitement, not the effects . 

[arch01]

Awesome! I'm just now starting to like Nuun, it has taken me a few tries though.

TMI, but artificial sweeteners make me have to poop all the time. Cutting them out lets me spend less time in the bathroom

There's one that will cause me to need a pants person, but most of them don't really bother me.

Now raw vegetables? Yeah THOSE will wreck me. My intestines are a conundrum.

Too many veggie mess with me too, but only if I'm running long. I need to make myself a flowchart.

LOL yes.

I can eat as many cooked veggies as I want, but raw? NEWP

[sitnspin]

Hooray!!!   <)

[texassmith]

This makes me soooo happy!

[moreace01]

Is this their u-natural line or something different? I see something on their website about it.

I really wish they would make something with no sweetener at all. I just want flavored water, that's it.

[Deleted]

This makes me happy and I hope it's monkfruit. I love that as a sweetner.

[mfluder]

@drcupcake @sessalee yes, Monkfruit, that's it! That stuff is good, and not some pretend new stevia I gather?

moreace01 this is different, they are doing for all their flavors. the first four will be, crap, all I remember right now is cherry lemonade. Maybe strawberry. See I like the nuuns because they kind of just seemed like flavored water to me? But its very likely that I consume enough sweets that I'm not very sensitive .

[wambam]

Oh.

BTW

I was really disappointed in strawberry lemonade

Me too!

Maybe because i love raspberry lemonde? But it wasnt lemony enough for me. I like lemon lime, but its not tart enough. Maybe thats it.

Yes that's definitely it. I really like tart foods and this wasn't tart in the slightest.

But at the same time, i think tartness/acidity might not feel good when i, thirsty? No..mybe not. Lemonade is so refreshing. I take it back. They need to make it more tart. We should write letters.

Update in OP.

[runblondie26]

Eww, I hate the taste of Stevia.

[taratru]

Whaaaat? No! Better start hoarding.

[Deleted]

Boo. Why would they do that? Stevia hates me!

[al320]

I feared this was the case.

Ugh stevia tastes so bad. Why, Nuun? Why???

[mfluder]

Agreed. I really hate stevia. I may be sticking with tail wind. I'd rather just have a small amount of real sugar, is that too hard to ask for?

Also updated the heading because it was making me sad. Excitement crushed lol.
