Perrier
Perrier is a naturally sparkling mineral water, recognisable by its fine bubbles and iconic green packaging. Bottled in the Gard, it stands out for its lively fizz and fresh, mineral taste. It is now available in many forms: plain, flavoured with lemon, mint, grapefruit, or in a livelier sparkling version. Nutritionally, Perrier has an ideal profile for the waistline: 0 calories, 0 sugar, 0 fat, 0 carbohydrate. It is therefore a great choice for hydrating with pleasure without adding to your energy intake. Enjoyed as an aperitif or with a meal, it fits easily into a balanced diet and is a sparkling alternative to sugary fizzy drinks.

Tips
The big plus of Perrier is its unbeatable nutrition facts: zero calories, zero sugar, zero carbohydrate. If you are watching your weight or your sugar intake, it is an excellent way to replace sugary drinks while keeping the pleasure of bubbles. Unlike a classic cola loaded with sugar, it provides no empty calories.
How to drink Perrier? Well chilled, it is enjoyed plain or used to liven up table water at a meal. You can also use it as a base for homemade drinks:
- With a few slices of lemon, cucumber or mint leaves for a flavoured sparkling water with no added sugar.
- In a festive mocktail, in place of a fizzy drink in your alcohol-free cocktails.
- Topped up with a dash of lemon juice for a refreshing tangy touch.
Keep it away from heat and light, and put the bottle in the fridge a few hours before drinking: cold intensifies the perception of fizz. Once opened, close it tightly to preserve the bubbles.
For active people, Perrier helps vary your daily hydration and gives a very welcome feeling of freshness. Be careful during exercise, though: fizzy drinks can cause digestive discomfort or bloating. It is better to keep it for after training or relaxing moments, and to prefer still water during the session. For recovery, sparkling water, naturally rich in minerals depending on the source, complements good rehydration. If you are preparing a protein snack after sport, Perrier can go nicely with your meal without adding calories.
Things to watch. Perrier is calorie-neutral, but stay alert to two points. First, sweetened flavoured versions or syrups you might add completely change the energy picture. Second, the bubbles can cause digestive discomfort in sensitive people. Finally, some sparkling waters contain sodium: go easy if you follow a low-salt diet, for example as part of the DASH diet.
When slimming or following a balanced diet, Perrier is a handy ally for drinking more with pleasure. To explore other options, discover the whole family of drinks and compare their nutritional profiles.
