Crystal Light Immunity Cherry Pomegranate

I am not a big fan of artificially sweetened fruit flavored drinks. I would rather have all the sugar and real fruit, but this landed in my mailbox, so I gave it a try. It is Crystal Light Immunity Natural Cherry Pomegranate vitamin enhanced drink mix. It claims to have "90 % fewer calories than leading beverages." I guess they mean compared to soda or Kool Aid. The package was a little hard to open and spilled some when I finally ripped it. I dumped it in my water bottle and shook it up.
It was disturbingly opaque. The color was kind of alarming as well. Like if one of the kids asked me what I was drinking, I might be tempted to answer, "It is most certainly not blood. Uh...have you seen your father lately?"

As for taste, it needs to be chilled. My water was warm and it tasted thick and unnatural.

After sitting in the refrigerator for a while, the taste changed. It had a strong cherry flavor that was quite zippy.

The absolute best was when I put it in the freezer in the ice cube tray. This Crystal Light was awesome as cherry flavored ice cubes in my tea. The vitamins were a nice touch too.

For me, this tasted so much like juice, I wouldn't bother with it because I would drink juice instead. However, if I was worried about the calories and sugar in juice, this would be a great substitute. And as I said before, it is phenomenal frozen into ice cubes and popsicles for a
low-cal treat.

I did like the single serving packet. This would be very useful for me to throw in my purse, or for someone to keep in their desk at work. The packaging was sufficiently difficult to open that you wouldn't be in danger of having everything spill out all over everything in your handbag.
