Glaceau - Vitamin Water 10 Review

As a fan of the original Vitamin Water, I was excited to try Glaceau Vitaminwater 10. The prospect of cutting back on my calories while still enjoying the great flavor of Vitaminwater made me eager to see how it would stack up.

I was highly disappointed.

First of all, I should explain that Vitaminwater 10 is a slight misnomer. Sure, there are only 10 calories per serving - but there are 2 and a half servings in each bottle. Who doesn't finish a bottle of Vitaminwater in one sitting? Still, at only 25 calories in the whole drink, you're saving 100 calories from the regular version. Not bad.

The taste, however, was pretty bad. It's supposedly sweetened with natural sweeteners which many believe to be better for you, but it didn't taste like what I thought natural sweetness should be like! In fact, I couldn't really get past the artificially sweet taste. I love sweet beverages, but not sweetness that tastes like this.

Plus, they don't have nearly as many flavors as the original Vitaminwater.

I love the concept of Vitaminwater 10, but I think I'll have to go back to drinking the high calorie version, instead. I may try it again some time down the road, but this drink really didn't meet my expectations. If you are used to drinking low-cal beverages and can handle an "artificial" taste, you'll probably like this. Otherwise, steer clear - there are better low-cal drinks on the market!
