I've been trying to increase my water intake for a while.  But I really hate drinking plain water.  It just doesn't work for me.  And, I don't want a lot of sugar in my diet, so I end up using various sugar-free flavors in my water.  There are many brands, and many flavors.  One that I particularly enjoy is called Wild Purple Smash from Hawaiian Punch. 

While the flavor is never actually specified, I assume it's a grape flavor, as that's what it tastes like, to me.  Or, maybe the purple color just makes me automatically assume it's grape.  In any case, it tastes great!

These are individual servings, packed in a long, thin tube.  This shape makes it super-easy to pour into any brand's water bottle.  The directions call for adding this powder to 16 oz. of water, but I actually make it half-strength, by pouring it into a quart-size container.  You should try it with different amounts of water to get the flavor-strength that's right for you.  Then just shake, or stir, and enjoy.

The taste is - well - delicious!  Sweet, fruity, and with no aftertaste. 

This product contains two artificial sweeteners - acesulfame potassium and aspartame. 

Interestingly, they consider a single packet to be two servings.  A little strange, but I suppose they're assuming that two people could share one packet by pouring it into two 8 oz. glasses.  Frankly, it seems a little bizarre to me, to call these packets "Singles To Go" but count them as two servings.  In any case, a serving contains 5 calories so the full packet contains 10.  There's also 15mg of sodium in each serving.  Everything else is 0, except for 20% vitamin C.

I really enjoy this product's taste, and it's one of the cheaper brands out there.  A little over a dollar for the box of 8 packets means each packet is only about 13 cents.  Since I make them half-strength, that's a very inexpensive quart of delicious drink.

These are so convenient!  It's a simple matter to toss the packets into a purse, or a briefcase.  As long as you can get a bottle of water, you can enjoy this delicious drink anywhere.
