Today I would like to introduce you to the company known as Frontier Beverage Company that produces a beverage called Unwind. Unwind blends antioxidant-rich Acai and Goji Fruit Juices with natural calming ingredients like Valerian Root, Melatonin and Passion Flower, providing a low calorie antidote for a stressful day, while preparing your body for a fresh start tomorrow.

Each 8 fl. oz. can is 2 servings and each serving is only 25 calories, 25 mg. sodium and 6 g. of carbohydrates. Unwind offers an antidote to all of the stresses that we face every day in our lives, such as having a crazy day at the office, a frazzled day spent chasing our children around or a night out on the town. Unwind provides ultimate relaxation with a boost of vitamins B and C to help power your body to do it all again tomorrow. The Unwind beverage comes in 3 different flavors: Citrus Orange, Pomegranate and Grape.

Did You Know? Both ‘Good Morning America’ and ‘The View’ have named the relaxation beverage trend a hot topic in 2010 as everyone faces stresses in our busy lifestyles. Not only can Unwind™ help you sleep better - which in turn will decrease weight gain - but also it offers a non-alcoholic solution for the craziest of days. And, all the while, each of these benefits keep us girls looking refreshed, healthy, and great.

Product Review: The generous people over at the Frontier Beverage Company sent us 2 cans of the Unwind beverage in the citrus orange flavor to try out for our product review. I decided to let my husband try out the beverages since he has been working 15 hour days at work and comes home tired and stressed out.

Here is what he has to say about Unwind: "I really enjoyed drinking my Unwind while relaxing after a hard day at work. I found it best to drink it cold over a few cubes of ice. The drink had a nice smooth and refreshing taste to it with no nasty after-taste. After about an hour, I honestly did feel more relaxed and less tensed up and I was ready to hit the hay shortly after that. I feel that Unwind did help me to 'relax and unwind' before going to bed". I then asked him if he would purchase Unwind in the future and would he recommend Unwind to others? His reply was, "Yes, I would and do plan on purchasing Unwind. Its a great tasting low-calorie beverage and the last thing you need before bed is a high-calorie soft drink. I would certainly recommend Unwind to my friends & family".

Overall Impression: As you can see from what hubby said, he would recommend this product to you. He enjoyed the taste of the beverage and did feel that it helped him to relax & unwind after a long day at work. He also commented that he liked the idea of having 2 servings per can so that he could decide if he wanted both servings that night or if he wanted to save the second serving for the next night. He also enjoyed the Citrus Orange flavor and felt that it really did taste like a citrus orange with no after-taste.
