“But what can I drink while fasting?”

That question was asked hundreds of times by people going through our fasting program and looking for something to drink besides water.

And from that one question, FASTwater was born.

Hi, we’re Kevin and Jon, the creators of FASTwater.

We’ve been proponents of fasting for quite a few years now and we’ve seen, firsthand, the incredible benefits it has for physical health, mental health, weight loss, weight maintenance, and a variety of other benefits that are being uncovered every week.

After years of fasting on his own, Kevin developed a health and weight loss program centered around fasting. Jon, a co-worker of Kevin’s at the time (they were both physical education teachers), decided to give it a try. He was hooked!

Along with 700 other men and women who went through Kevin’s program, the same question kept coming up over and over again: “What can I drink while I’m fasting?”

After scouring the internet and many CVS’s, Target’s, Walmart’s, etc., it became apparent that there was no drink on the market that did not break a fast. Many of them had calories, artificial sweeteners, colors or flavors, etc. And the ones that did have zero calories and zero artificial sweeteners also had zero health benefits. They were basically just flavored waters.

That’s when we thought, why not create a flavored, carbonated drink with zero calories, zero artificial sweeteners, zero colors, zero flavors, etc., BUT, let’s add some health benefits like sodium, potassium, magnesium, Vitamin B, zinc, etc. to support and supplement people who are fasting, or anyone looking for a healthy beverage.

We needed to add some sweetness though, otherwise, it wasn’t going to taste so great.

That’s why we decided on monkfruit. Monkfruit, also known as Luo Han Guo, is a small green gourd-shaped fruit native to Thailand. Perhaps the most touted benefit of monk fruit is its natural sweetness. The fruit contains mogrosides, compounds that are 150 to 200 times sweeter than sugar but without the calories or blood sugar impact. Additionally, monkfruit is said to have antioxidant and anti-inflammatory properties, which may offer protection against chronic diseases such as diabetes, cancer, and heart disease.

So whether you’re fasting and looking for something that won’t break your fast or you’re just health conscious and looking for a healthy beverage, FASTwater is your go-to drink.
