I used to drink Cyrstal light a long time back but have now forgotten what flavors I fell in love with:sad: It was one or two in particular.

Which ones do you like and why? I mean such as it tastes light and refreshing or it's the flavor that you enjoy about it...ya know that sort of thing. I think I might have had rasberry and liked that. By now though there's probably many many many more flavors than when I tried it years back.

Also I've heard some say they prefer off brand to name brand (flavor wise), like Walmart vs. name brand, do you have a preference?

Thanks for the input!

    I don't like Crystal Light. It tastes watered down to me. However, Market Pantry at Target has a drink mix similar to CL and it tastes great and not watery. My favorite is cranberry pomegranate and the peach tea.

    Raspberry Lemonade! Yummy! I love it because it doesn't have that yucky aftertaste that some of the other ones have. My fiancee and son drink it also. They think it's lemonade and I wont tell them any different! That way they can drink more water and less sugary stuff :bigsmile:

    I like the Peach Tea because it's very flavorful. My favorite right now is the Raspberry Green Tea. It's has a very light, refreshing flavor. The Grape is also good...takes me back to my childhood days when Mom made me Grape Kool-Aid. My other favorite is the Strawberry Energy drink in the individual packets. I like to keep those at work for an afternoon pick-me-up. And, the Raspberry Peach is pretty good, too. I have tried both Walmart and Meijer brands and have found they are comparable. And, I agree with TruSunshine, the lemonade's are good and you wouldn't know the difference if no one told you.

    You all are the BEST, I knew you'd come through for me and I knew I get fast responses! lol I'll check into some of the flavors suggested and also check out the Target type too! I love water but I need something different for a bit.

    Thanks Ladies!

    Oh, the grape does sound good for that very reason! Mm Rasberry Green Tea, interesting. Looking forward to trying various ones out.

    Thanks!

    I also like Rasperry Lemonade!!!!! YUM!

    PS I don't distinguish between brands (CL vs WM VS Taget...) They all taste good to me. :)

    Raspberry Ice is my fave CL. I :heart: Great Value Grape. I like a peach tea, I think it was also a GV.. Hawaiian Punch to go are my new ones I've tried, which aren't much different in taste from regular HP, just in smaller calories, etc. The orange is pretty kick *kitten* though :laugh:

    Iced tea with lemon... I am absolutely addicted to it!! It's how I get 10-15 cups of water per day... I also like the Wal-mart (Great Value) raspberry ice, fruit punch, pink lemonade, grape, and cherry... :happy:

    Another vote for Cherry Pomegranate.

    Walmart carries a brand that costs less than Crystal light. The Cherry Limeade is amazing!

    I tried strawberry banana the other day. It is sooooo good! I also really like the pink lemonade but I'm a pink lemonade junkie!

    I love the Wild Strawberry Energy and Fruit Punch. I drink a packet everyday. It's hard to find the Wild Strawberry though.

    I know it's the 4th of July and all but on a cold day I like to drink the CL Tea-blends hot. Just add a single package to a large (and I mean
    large) mug of boiling water... yummy as a dessert....

    Has anyone tried the new energy Crystal Lights? They apparently don't have artificial sweeteners in them.

    I imagine that's how I'll fix mine as well, just a taste of it in my water will be a nice change:drinker: I'm excited though they all sound so good I have no clue what I'll try first. :ohwell: :tongue: They need a mixed multi-pack or do any of the brands sell something like that? Just to try a variety?

    Thanks to everyone for adding their favs, I knew I'd get the faithful Crystal Light Gang to help me out:wink::flowerforyou:

    I love real tea, but any artificial sweetener with tea in the name is freaking nasty. I never learn my lesson though. I'll see a new flavor and think, "Well white tea blueberry sounds delicious!". Nope, really funky.

    I do love me my Green lemon grass decaf tea and my Camomile tea but just looking for something cool for the Summer to add in the mix to have different things to drink. :)

    Thanks for all the wonderful ideas Ladies

    I so appreciate the input ALOT!

    My favorite is plain ol' lemonade. I :heart: it! Ironically, lately I've been drinking plain water and forget to use the CL. I have about 4 boxes that have been untouched for a month or so. Now when I drink them, it's for a treat, not to just get my water in for the day (especially since I haven't had a soda for 2 years now). Oh, Oceanspray also makes one that's with the CL's called White Cran Peach! It is heavenly!

    Green tea peach mango is about the only one I drink. Occasionally I drink the regular tea with lemon too.

    My sister brought back Fruit Punch from the US, we don’t have that one in Canada. It tastes sooooo good you swear you are drinking 300 calories!

    The Crystal Light Live Active ones are great b/c they have 3g of fibre!

    If you love McDonalds orange “pop” (I don’t know why they ever called it pop, it isn’t carbonated but such a great classic) buy Tangerine Grapefruit, it tastes the same minus 1 million calories, ha ha!

    I can’t even find a pic on google for Tangerine Grapefruit so it must be rare or not sold in the US, yay Canada! I have some in my desk now and its on the Kraft Canada website so I’m not crazy.

    OMG The McDonalds Orange drink is Orange Hi-C, used to sell large cans of it when growing up and you'd use the old pointed pop can opener to open it to pour. yum, I rememer that taste, ohhhhhh I might have to hunt hard for that flavor you shared then if it tastes like THAT!

    Thanks for the Canadian input Heather:wink::flowerforyou:

    Becca

    Bummer not that I didn't believe you Heather:laugh: but went for a search on my own because I REALLY wanted to find that one. Only in Canada so far from all the searching I did as well. Drink up GIRL, you must be in a test market, then it's likely we'll get it next! They have over 57 varieties! :noway: :laugh:

    I love the Tangerine Grapefruit. Didn't consider it tasting like McDonald's orange though. I just bought the Walmart brand, hope it tastes as good as Crystal Light

    I'm a water lover but want to add something different in over the summer with ice in my bottle. I think I'll probably drink it that way too, as a treat. I like that sound White Cran Peach, but I love ALL things Peach. I know what going to happen, I'll hit up Wally World and be standing in that section for an hour picking up first one flavor, then the next then putting the first one down, picking up another, putting it down, trying to remember all the good ones you all shared. lol

    I'll let you know what I get and what I think, again thanks for all the input my Crystal light Girls!!:smooched:
