 boost your metabolism July 28, 2008

This product is not only good but really does boost your metabolism and give you energy. So don't drink it before bed.
 Great taste, but not worth the $$ June 24, 2008

I love most of Crystal Light's flavors, and the new Green Teas are among them. They taste different from many of the powdered mixes out there - those usually have funny aftertastes, while the Crystal Light versions have a nice hint of fruit and lack the chemical flavor.
My complaint is that these "convenient" packets are rather expensive, but some of the flavors are only available in these little guys. This 6-pack of boxes with 14 packets (each packet makes 16.9 oz, which is 7.4 quarts) costs the same as a 6-pack of those tubes with 5 tubs in them - those tubes make 10 quarts each. So the packets have 25% less drink mix for the same cost - you pay an extra 25% for the "convenience".
Wish the flavors were available in a variety of sizes, or that the packets didn't cost so much more than the tubs. For now, I'll stick with the flavors I can find in the 2-quart tubs and fill my water bottles with Crystal Light at home.
This stuff is REALLY good! June 20, 2008

I am an avid soda and coffee drinker who has decided that it's time to cut down on all the caffeine, but who really hates drinking plain water. I've always 'tolerated' Crystal Light, but never drank it often because it was very tart and left a really bad aftertaste.
Enter this product - I *love* it, and it has prompted me to drink a LOT less soda. It doesn't have the wicked aftertaste that some of the other non-tea Crystal Light drinks has, and it's far cheaper than soda and a lot 'better' for you. If you are not a fan of drinking water but know that you should drink more, this is a great product. That it's portable is also huge, as you can get a refillable water bottle (like a Nalgene or similar product) and reuse it. With all of the packaging and plastic required for bottled water and plastic drink cups, it really does make a difference to just have a tiny disposable packet vs. a whole bottle, both to your cupboards and to the environment.
I haven't tried any of the other flavors, but really love the Mango Peach. Buying it on Amazon and in this quantity is also about half the cost you'd pay in the grocery store, and while I was initially worried about the large quantity of packets, I've had no trouble going through them fairly quickly.
Not only saves $$$ ... It's tasty, terrific, healthy and easy! May 19, 2008

We're suffering a heat wave, and it was a sweltering 103 degrees here yesterday. Since my air conditioner went out and the repairman couldn't come until Monday, my daughter Allie decided to get me out of the heat ... a drive to see some friends, followed by a nice dinner in a cool, relaxing restaurant.
The ac in her car felt like Heaven, so after I got comfortable, I reached for my water bottle. When I did, Allie handed me this tiny packet (resembled an elongated version of those packets of salt in fast-food places), instructing me to pour it into my water. She knew I liked Crystal Light lemonade, so thought I would like this too. My bottle held 16.9 ounces of water and since I had already drunk half, it was perfect for eight ounces of this delicious drink. I tapped the powder into the water, swirled the bottle to mix it well, then took a sample sip. I liked it so well, I gulped with gusto.
I've always appreciated the health benefits of green tea and the flavor of mangos, so it was a no-brainer that I'd like this tasty beverage. How well my daughter knows me!
Allie nodded when I told her I had never seen these tiny packets, since the lemonade had come in small tubs that made an entire pitcher, and she laughed when I raved over the convenience and ease of use, marveling at the genius of the manufacturer.
When I came on-line to order this viitamin-enhanced green tea peach mango mixture and the lemonade for the kids, I did some quick math, realizing that when mixed with filtered tap water, the price per eight ounces is thirty-two and one-quarter cents a bottle. I prefer the 16-oz. bottles, so I use two of these packets, which figures to be sixty-four and a-half cents. ... Much cheaper than soda--and decidedly tastier and healthier!
I ordered this mixture for myself and lemonade flavor for my grandchildren. Johnny doesn't like water too much, so hogs every bottle of soda that we buy. I plan to give him his own supply to take to school because they fit so easily into his pocket and are so easy to mix on the run.
One final tip Allie passed on: Some of her friends simply add a half- or fourth-packet, preferring a milder refreshing. Sounds good to me! Thanks, Allie ... not only for treating me to dinner but for introducing me to a healthy new taste treat, one that I can mix on the go!
