health & fitness Product Review: The Citrus Zinger With our hot summer days -- and the need to stay hydrated -- stretching on and on, it’s easy to get bored with drinking plain water. Don’t reach for sugary sodas, artificially flavored or chemical-riddled diet drinks; instead, try adding some citrus to your H2O. The Citrus Zinger is a specialist product in the ZingAnything line of environmentally friendly water bottles designed to promote an all-natural, nutrient-enriched, healthy diet. Its design integrates a removable citrus juicer that makes it easy to add lemon, lime, grapefruit, orange and other citrus juices into your water. The infused water benefits from the fresh flavors of the fruit, as well as the valuable nutrients present in its juice. “We, at Zing Anything, want to make a positive contribution toward improving daily diets, both in the food we eat and the beverages we drink,” said Zing Anything CEO Joshua Lefkovitz. “We hope our products can become a driving force in helping consumers divert from unhealthy beverage choices, leading them to an overall healthier lifestyle.” The Citrus Zinger is very
easy to use: just unscrew the bottom cup; press and twist half a citrus fruit onto the juicer, letting the juice drip directly into the bottle while keeping out the pulp and rind; then replace the bottom cup. You can leave the fruit half in place for added infusion as you enjoy your drink, or remove it if you prefer. Each product comes with a recipe guide that includes information for adding non-citrus fruits, such as strawberries and pineapple, and other ingredients like cucumber and fresh mint, for more complex flavors. The Citrus Zinger holds 28 ounces of liquid, is
dishwasher safe and BPAfree, and is available in three colors -- green, orange and pink. The Zing Anything line also includes the Aqua Zinger, with a grinding mechanism for infusing various fruits and vegetables into your water; the Vodka Zinger for custom cocktails; and the Salad Zinger, a cruetshaped vessel with a spout for creating homemade dressings. Zing Anything participates in fruit donation programs and is charitable to hungerrelief causes. The proucts are available at Brookstone stores and online at zinganything.com.
