Have you heard about the hottest green accessory? The Klean Kanteen?

Find out the real scoop about the Klean Kanteenhere.

The Klean Kanteen is a special stainless steel water bottle (or sippy cup - you can also order sippy cups for your kids.) It's really light to carry and perfect for the busy mom who wants a portable cup for toting around coffee, mineral water, or her toddler's favorite fruit juice.

Hikers love them too. The best thing about carrying around a Klean Kanteen my hubby says is that it doesn't turn your drink into tasteless metallic goo like most hiker and biker mugs do.

If you've ever forced yourself through a long workout fantasizing about how great it will be to take a long drink out of your portable cup after you're through, and then you find that your nice sports drink has turned to something nasty that tastes like plastic or metal, then you'll definitely love your Klean Kanteen!

The first Klean Kanteenscame out in 2004 but I only just heard about them recently when a friend of mine at my toddler's preschool showed me her Klean Kanteen sippy cup. It seemed like a lot of other moms were using them so I bought one.

Now my kids (aged three years and four years) use the sippy cups and my husband uses one whenever he goes to the gym. He and I use the regular stainless steel bottles which come in three sizes and cap styles.

I like to use mine just to carry water around because my doctor keeps reminding me - in her ever so patient way! - that I need to be hydrating myself better. I always hated carrying around expensive mineral waters in plastic bottles - after a while the plastic leaches into the water, and do you really want to be putting those chemicals into your body? I think not!

The stainless steel used in the Klean Kanteen makes it easy to clean, durable, sanitary, toxin-free, and non-leaching. You won't be filling the landfills with yet another plastic bottle or aluminum can if you use a Klean Kanteen.

Best yet, whatever you put into a Klean Kanteen tastes fresh and yummy, not weird or funky!
