This is a compensated review from BlogHer and Crystal Light Water Way Challenge.
This weekend the family and I packed up the car to go camping at nearby Point Reyes Seashore. It was gorgeous. After hiking 3 miles one way, we were parched and the kids needed a boost that water just didn't seem to provide. Lucky for us all, I threw in a few packs of Crystal Light Fruit Punch and Lemonade in my back pack! (I also had fruit and other snacks in case you were thinking I was an ill prepared hiker.)
It was easy to add to our water bottles and tasted great. We were able to split two packs amongst six water bottles easily with plenty of flavor. The kids loved the extra oomph it brought and the parents didn't have to carry anyone back to the car. I will always put the travel sizes in the pack for future outings.
Score one for mom!! Score two for my saving my back certain back pain.
I had a baby in March and have been trying to lose some baby weight...so drinking more fluids. One hit at my house is iced green tea. I have been also mixing in some mint tea. I make it from tea bags. I wouldn't suggest getting it pre-made. Sometimes you can find green tea with mint...that is the easiest. You can also find decaf green tea. If making it yourself for iced tea you have to double the bags used for hot tea. Green tea has been shown to have lots of health benefits including helping with weight loss. I use splenda for sweetening the tea. I can easily drink one liter a day. I usually make one liter green tea and a half liter mint tea and mix. I am not a big mint person, but I like it in the green tea. Give this healthy and refreshing drink a try! Happy drinking.
Blessings, Shannon

I got tired of paying $3 for lemonade at restaurants for my six-year-old who barely finishes half his drink. I stash the Crystal Light lemonade packets in my purse and voila! lemonade for *free*!

Doesn't Crystal Light give you a stomach ache?
