Some people opt for coffee in the morning, while others have an affinity for protein smoothies. For Lala Kent, a dirty soda is her choice of morning brew, so it's only natural that she has a soda maker at home for her early A.M. concoctions. Kent's go-to? Ninja's Thirsti Still and Carbonated Water Maker, which is a best seller for a reason.
The Vanderpump Rules star made her love for this appliace official via a partnership with Ninja, who just launched their new ZERO SODA Flavor Drops – the new must-have addition for anyone who, like Kent, swears by their Ninja.
Rather than purchasing single-serve sodas, the Thirsti allows you to create your own blends at home – and with 25 flavor options, you can shake up your routine with a different-tasting beverage every morning.
'I'm obsessed with my Ninja Thirsti!' Kent shared in an exclusive interview with H&G. 'It was the perfect partnership because of my obsession with sparkling water. Then you add on the flavor drops – you can really customize any beverage from the amount of flavor to the amount of bubbles. And I feel like it's a must-have in all households; it's the perfect gift.' Plus, we're in luck. Her go-to is among some of the best black Friday Ninja deals already available (yes, ahead of the big day). You can shop via Amazon below.
Kent explains that she uses the machine from day to night, with plenty of options for different moods and times of the day. 'When they came out with the ZERO SODA Flavored Water Drops is when my world really got rocked,' she says. 'I am officially obsessed to a new level like I'm the girl who likes making a dirty soda. Having my Dr. Thirsti in the morning and then having a nightcap later on as well.'
The modern and compact appearance of the Ninja, which comes with a water reservoir, is another highlight for Kent, who says that the model suits small kitchens.
'For me, the Ninja Thirsti is already very sleek, and it looks fabulous on any kitchen countertop, so if you have limited counter space – I would say it’s the perfect size,' she explains. 'Also, since you would use it every day it's worth having that be the main on your countertop and everything else off – so you have your Ninja Luxe Café, then you have your Ninja Thirsti. Things like a toaster can go in a drawer or cabinet. Keep items you use every day on display.'
She continues, 'I first focus on the aesthetic of all things, and for me, I like convenience. I need it to be functional but also pretty. So, I like to put things on the countertop that I'm using throughout the day.'
The Thirsti comes in customizable bundle options, so you can select a combination of flavor drops that suit your preferences.
