I LOVE grape Kool-Aid! I know its nothing but sugar and gross chemical colors, but I could drink a pitcher a day! I don't, but I could.
So imagine my surprise when I found a very suitable, more natural, calorie friendly replacement. What is it? Crystal Light! I was as surprised as you, believe me. I remember Crystal Light as the aspartame laden drink mix from which I steered clear. But this is Crystal Light Pure.
Its naturally sweetened with real sugar & stevia, and the colors are naturally derived from purple carrots & hibiscus flowers. And apparently has electrolytes.
Its obviously still not a health drink by any means, but its certainly a welcome improvement calorie-wise.
5 per serving vs. 60. I'll take it.
Its a nice break now and then from lemon or plain water. And since I bought the packets, they are convenient to throw in my bag to take to the office or to the beach to add to water bottles.
The Kool-Aid packets for the kids still have aspartame in them, not sure why, so those are a no-go for us. These are a better alternative.
Disclaimer: I was not paid or compensated for my opinion of this product, but if they want to send me some free samples, I wouldn't refuse them! I just wanted to share my find with you all!
