Crystal Light

Has anyone tried these? They're pretty good (I'm addicted to the raspberry drink). It's like going back to the Koolaid in my childhood. :)

My question is: Are they still good for you or are they more low-calorie like diet sodas are, with tons of sweet n low,etc? Could I use them to help reach my water goal?

From what I have been told by "people in the know", if it has no caffiene, it counts as your water intake. Like Diet Caffiene Free Coke...but soda has all the sodium so I would bet it's better for you.

I drink CL all day. I hardly ever drink soda anymore.

Sounds great! Thanks so much for the reply. *continues drinking a bottle of Raspberry Ice* It tastes a lot better than soda too. :)

My fiancee got me hooked on this stuff.  You can get bigger tubes of it and just make it in pitchers and it's a lot cheaper (keep that in mine, miss, since you are going to college....cheap = EXCELLENT).

I have this red grapefruit flavor.  Good stuff.

I can't live without the stuff either. : )

Hm, I should look into getting the pitchers...but the other problem with college besides the money is that you have limited space and limited cookware. I don't know how much I'll be able to fit into my teeny mini fridge come August. :D

I have been buying Fruit20 by the case load.  It really helps.  It's just sweet enough for me.  0 everything except 5 mg sodium.

Watch that Splenda. It's evil.

I like the strawberry kiwi kind, but I  have to really water Crystal Light down. I end up with just a tiny bit of CL in there for some flavor because to me it tastes like Kool-Aid with extra sugar. 

I buy the individual packets (makes a 16.9 oz bottle) and keep those at work; I just fill my water bottle and mix in a packet.  Keeps me hydrated and they are delicious.  More pricey than the larger containers.  4C has some sugar free options too and lots of flavors. 

I live by the stuff.  I always have a bottle of it with.

I am hooked on Nestle Pure Life Lemon Splash... it is made with Splenda...

ladyevropa: is there something I am missing about splenda?

Oh God, I live off of Crystal Light! I drink it all the time. I even make CL ice pops. :)
