Make Your Drinks Sparkle With Pat’s Backcountry Beverages Carbonator Bottle

Do you love carbonated beverages, but prefer to make your own? Do you have an affinity for your Sodastream, but wish that it was a little more portable? We have a solution for you! Pat’s Backcountry Beverages actually has a Carbonator Bottle that allows you to carbonate beverages in a BPA-free, shatterproof, 20-ounce water bottle. Simply take an Activator Packet and place it in the reaction cup. The chemical reaction of citric acid and potassium bicarbonate adds bubbles into the liquid. When the chemical reaction starts, simply lock the lever and shake from side to side for about a minute, and there you have it: on-the-spot carbonation.

Now you don’t have to be wasteful buying all those bottles of seltzer and Perrier to get your sparkling water fix. Want some flavor? Simple add one of the Pat’s Backcountry Beverages all-natural syrups, which come in cola, ginger-ale, lemon-lime, pomegranate cola, and root beer flavors. That way, you don’t need to waste plastic or glass with all those soda bottles. Once it’s all carbonated, you can unscrew the bottom of the water bottle and get a convenient cup to share that carbonated deliciousness. Use Pat’s Backcountry Beverages Carbonator Bottle when you’re hiking, going to the gym, or on the road for that instant carbonated kick. Now we don’t have to pollute the earth with all those non-biodegradable bottles that other carbonated beverages come packaged in, because according to the company, “it’s the most environmentally-responsible carbonated beverage system on earth!” We can’t wait to bring it with us next time we hit the road.

According to a recent survey by Danone America, 84% of Americans have become more interested in "functional" foods and products that support gut health. These changing wellness trends are affecting nearly every type of food and beverage product, and they've now made their way into your morning coffee mug as well. Popular coffee brand Bulletproof Coffee believes gut health is the future of coffee, adapting its product line to include science-based ingredients that transform a delicious cup of coffee into a gut-supporting beverage. I chatted with Stephanie Hoffman, Director of R&D and Quality at Bulletproof Coffee, to learn more about gut health and coffee.
Gut health in the wellness world

According to Hoffman, "Gut health has become a major focus not just in the wellness world, but in general, as people are recognizing its deep connection to energy, immunity, mood, and mental clarity." With this in mind, Bulletproof has adopted a mindset that your morning coffee should do more than wake you up.

Perfectly described by Chris Smith, co-owner and founder of Ground Ops Roastery + Bakehouse, "The day doesn't truly begin until that first sip of coffee."
