Crystal Light - On The Go Hydration — 

It seems like during hot weather, the only thing better than an sip of icy cold water is a little something to add to it -- especially the delightful Crystal Light products.  Crystal Light On The Go Hydration possesses a flavor which is a little different but nevertheless delightful.  I chose the Lightly Lemon flavor which tastes like citrus with a touch of salt added -- rather like a Margarita with salt around the edge of the glass.  As I sipped, I checked out the information on the package and was cheered to see that this beverage contains electrolytes to aid hydration, in addition to other worthy stuff ...

STATS:

The instructions are to dissolve a single packet in a 20 oz. bottle of water, thus creating two 10 oz. servings.  Each serving contains five calories with zero each total fat, total carbs, sugars, and protein.  There are 75 mg. sodium and 35 mg. potassium.  Wait until you see these vitamins and minerals:  10% (D.V.) each Vitamin A, Vitamin E, Vitamin B6, Niacin, and Riboflavin, along with 100 Vitamin C.  That kind of vitamin power means that this beverage could be an important part of our diet not just during the hot weather but all year long, especially in the cold and flu season.

TASTE TIP:

I dissolved Crystal Light On The Go Hydration in a 20 oz. bottle of water, shook it vigorously, then placed in the freezer for a while just to get a little icy "slush" started.

You know, I really like Crystal Light in its many forms now. I remember when you had to make a whole pitcher of it in the old days and it is so much easier now with the little tubes that you can pour into a bottle of water. You seem like you're in pretty good shape to me right now, Jo! How are things coming -- did you ever get it really straightened out with the movers? It seems to me they should owe you a refund or something, just for the trouble alone.

I have to tell you that when I was in the best shape of my life and working with a past Mr. Olympia he insisted I only drink Crystal Light!

I'm gonna turn off now and RETIRE FOR THE NIGHT -- have to be up and down to the Loop at the ungodly hour of 11 a.m. to get my hair cut tomorrow! Hope everything is going okay, Ron! Take care!

Well, it's not the same as Simply Lemonade, that's for sure!

I think the Hydration thing really made me feel more energetic today! Thanks for checking in and I hope you have a nice weekend! (I will be looking forward to more reviews from you, you do a great job!)

I have been enjoying Crystal Light products for many year. It's really a wonderful product and has a great taste. This is one of many ways how I manage to get in my daily hydration. This product easily helps me to keep my calories down and SUGAR under control. I can't begin to express how important this is...at least as far as myself and my own personal health issues. AnnaBanana this is a fabulous review about a great tasting & refreshing product. Thank you for sharing with us.

Boy, does THAT bring back memories! Believe it or not, I think we used to use Wyler's mixes back when I was in high school during the 50's and they weren't bad either. I bet your kids will love it and you're right -- they are more reasonably priced. Well, catch ya later!

I am trying the wylers today, we will see how that goes, it is only $1.00 for a box I couldn't pass that up.
