The B1U range comes in four flavours:

  • ‘I need rhythm’: strawberry and basil-infused water with 8g of plant-based fibre
  • ‘I need immunity’: lemon and chamomile-infused water with 22mg of zinc and 128mg of vitamin C

“The functional beverage category continues to be driven by health-conscious consumers who know their food is fuel for living a healthy life and are interested in a holistic approach to wellbeing,” said Kim McAllister, director of core innovation at Ocean Spray. “We are excited to offer the B1U brand as an innovative new entrant into the fast-growing infused water category that is forward-thinking, tasty and nutritious and will inspire customers to try it and choose it again and again.”
