Crystal Light Challenge - No to Soda

Wednesday July 13, 2011



I was asked by Glam Media Inc. to join in the Crystal Light Flavor Over Fizz Challenge. People were to "take the challenge and replace your regular or diet soda with Crystal Light—a refreshing alternative to all the sugar and caffeine in soda."
 

I received a free package of Crystal Light On The Go courtesy of Glam Media Inc. and Crystal Light! See the cute pics above. There were raspberry, peach & lemonade iced teas plus regular fruit punch & lemonade flavored packets.

I don't drink soda BUT I had some ideas about what I wanted to do with Crystal Light so I joined in .. plus my hubby drinks soda now & then so I thought I could experiment on him too!

First I made the Raspberry Iced tea & the Fruit Punch flavor. I set a glass aside for my hubby of each & then made ice cubes out of the rest. See pics below:

Made me think of Hawaii so I glammed the drinks up with some of my Hawaii love!


Yes, some plain ice cubes too but how pretty & a great little pop in the mouth to cool me off or keep me from eating something I should not!


My water bottle with plain water & both raspberry & fruit punch ice cubes in there! Yes, more Hawaii!

  

I also made the peach & lemonade iced teas too. I am not a tea fan but I liked them all. The regular flavored fruit punch & lemonade were great as well. I put a bit more water than called for in the directions because it was a bit sweet for me. Still tasted great even with me adding more water! My hubby liked them too & he does not like the sugar free stuff.

I still drink my plain water but this was a nice change & liked the little ice cubes I made out of all the flavors. I would say that I liked the raspberry & lemonade best but all tasted good to me.

Let's hope they don't try fried Crystal Light like they did with Kool-Aid! YIKES!

Anybody try Crystal Light or use it? They have a Facebook page too.

    When I get sick of water, I will make Crystal Light Fruit Punch which I love. However, I usually just drink water with lemon juice in it due to my kidney stones--8 ounces each hour. I do get sick of it, so I am very thankful for the Chrystal Light. I think I'll have to try the ice cubes! Too cute. Also, when I want a fun summer treat, I make Crystal Light "slurpees." I really enjoy those!

    For some reason, your pictures aren't coming through on my email anymore.

    I love Crystal Lite, but to me its too strong to drink every day. I drink 1 Coke Zero a day at lunch. My fav!

    Every day! I start my morning with the sunrise orange flavor instead of juice; have done that for years. In the afternoons this time of year I like the decaf iced tea.

    I LOVE your "hawaii-fication" in the photos. So fun! I usually don't drink crystal light, as I like plain water, but I DO want to try the limited edition mojito flavour. It's not available here in Canada, so will be watching for it next time I'm over the border. Have a great day! (and thanks so much for your lovely comment on my blog yesterday!!)

    I don't do CL. I just drink unsweetened seltzer or iced tea.
    I bet you could use those flavor packets in a protein muffin or something for extra flavor!
