So, truth be known, I am not real into drinking water. Water from the faucet is out, other than for my coffee maker, and perhaps that too is a mistake. Purchasing plain bottled water is pretty dry stuff, well dry for water. I have a sweet tooth, so if I need to drink a lot of water for my health, it better taste good! My favorites are Propel in various flavors, and the Glaceau Vitamin Water flavors. The latest one I've tried is the Revive Fruit Punch.

What it is baby:

It is what Glaceau considers a fruit punch flavored enhanced water beverage.

Glaceau Vitaminwater in the Revive fruit punch flavor, comes in an 8 fluid ounce plastic container. The top is clear, and there is a band of bluish purple in the middle, and of course the liquid is fruit punch colored. If you like, you can order 24/20 ounce bottles for around $25.00-$30.00 online, or you can purchase individually at selected brick and mortar stores (I usually see them at Whole Foods, and some 7/11 stores. The best deals are generally online, and you can have it delivered, so less hassle.

Ingredients from packaging:
Vapor distilled water, crystalline fructose, natural flavor, citric acid, grape juice (for color), electrolytes (Calcium chloride, magnesium chloride, and potassium bicarbonate), grape skin extract (for color), ascorbic acid (vitamin C), gum Arabic, gotu kola extract, vitamin E acetate, American ginseng extract, niacin (B3), pantothenic acid (B5), ester gum, vitamin A palmitate, pyridoxine hydrochloride (B6), cyanocobalamin

My experience:

I wish I could gush over this particular flavor of the Glaceau Vitamin Waters. I'm sure others will really enjoy it, but I found it rather void of flavor. To me it had a "hint" of fruit punch, not a full-blown punch. I think it needs more punch! However, it is refreshing and did energize me. During this period of time when I have been sick, getting better, sick again, blah, blah, blah, I really depended on the Glaceau VitaminWater drinks!

Final thoughts and recommendations:

I think highly of Glaceau Vitamin Water, so for the ingredients/particularly the vitamins/ginseng I recommend it. I wasn't sure what the Gotu Kola was for but in researching it a little, it is supposed to be helpful for a myriad of problems from skin conditions, to cancer, to varicose veins, to memory, etc. You can read about it in detail if you like at the url below.

This drink does have a high sugar content (12g) and 50 calories. If you enjoy a light fruit punch, certainly give this a try. I personally prefer their Dragonfruit flavor. I am giving it 3 stars.

Thanks for reading!
