Tasting! Crystal Light Pure Fitness
May 3rd, 2010 • 28 Comments | Leave a Comment »
Excuse me, Crystal Light. I’m done ignoring you now. You have my full attention. I’m serving notice to my bladder.
Forget about rogue sips of plain water and tongue-thirsty dehydration. Crystal Light Pure Fitness is so frackin’ delicious, I may need to strap a Porta Potty to my back from all the water I’m taking in.
It’s sweetened with evaporated cane juice, a touch of sugar, and Rebiana from the Stevia plant. No more unhealthy artificial crap to piss off my taste buds with an ugly aftertaste.
NOPE! It’s not zero calories, but don’t get bent out of shape about it. It’s 30 calories per powdered-flavored package (suitable for a 16.9 ounce water bottle or 2 cups of water). I’d rather sip on 30 calories than ingest zero calories of artificial sweetener crap.
Pure Fitness make me wanna chug like a man. But in an effort to be lady-like, which is the opposite of this behavior, I now achieve 16.9 ounce Grape, Lemon Lime
, and Strawberry Kiwi
water-flavored gulping in less than 10 minutes. No more babysitting the same ‘ole bottle of water all day long.
Grape is my favorite, yet each flavor scored high marks with the greedy mouths of the Taste Test Crew. Before too long, I had to hide the box ‘lest they ravage my Pure Fitness.
I’m drinking tasty water. I’m hydrating my sexy bod. They threw in electrolytes for added benefits. You can’t go wrong with Pure Fitness….unless, of course, your child likens it to Kool Aid and proceeds to backwash slobber and food crumbs into your water.
Dammit!
Give it a try (maybe without kids around). Look for it in the store or online at Amazon.

This just furthers my assumption that my husband and Greedy baby are one in the same. He is the king of backwash. Barf.

Did we have to send in for the baby backwash or is that included?

I’ve only tried the strawberry kiwi and really liked it. I used it in double the amount of water though. Otherwise it was too sweet for my liking. Next on the to-try list is the lemon lime.

I’ve never had any CrystalLight. But I guess I’ll learn plenty about baby backwash and other bodily functions soon enough lol.

Baby Backwash is the least of their bodily functions. Diaper Blowout is the ultimate. Projectile baby vomit comes in a close second.

I can not wait to try these after reading your reviews. I have been seriously slacking in my water consumption….this should help.

I love regular Crystal Light in all its sugary goodness, but this I’ll have to try. If it’s even remotely close to the original I’m sure I’ll like it. Thank goodness I don’t have a child.

Yay! I have missed Crystal Light.

Glad they got rid of the aspartame, that stuff gives me migraines. I am guessing however that it still has the dreaded “natural flavors” in it, which means the other half won’t let me use them…/sigh

Uh oh. “Other Half” is spoiling the party? …/double sigh

I don’t really like flavored water, but Kohy is always looking for something new to try. He could also care less about artificial sweeteners, but maybe I will slip some in his water bottle.

uh oh. 35 ounces successfully chugged before 10am – never done that before. Somebody email me that Porta Potty. I have ropes to strap to my back.

Haven’t heard of this yet; I’m intrigued. I”m with you – I’d happily drink 30 calories to save me from some chemicals. I can’t really say much, though. I still drink Crystal Light.

At my house, we drink A LOT of crystal light. I drink water at work and gym but at home, we do crystal lite or soy milk or tea or juice. This looks good cuz ive been kinda wondering what sorts of random chemicals ive been stuffing into myself lately. Although honestly, I’ll prob still keep drinking the regular crystal lite.
