Refreshing Drink...

It is very hot and humid here today...I went downstairs looking for something cold to drink that wasn's SODA. I noticed my mother-in-law (who lives with us) had some Special K Protein Drink Powder in her cupboard.

They were in single serve portions, so I dumped one into my cold bottle of water and PRESTO. They aren't too bad. The one I have is Pink Lemonade and it is pretty good. Although I know there are other flavors. They are low in calories with 5 grams of Protein and 5 grams of Fiber....Hmmmm....


Ever tried one? What do you drink for refreshing drinks?

I like Poland Spring or Perrier with the lime flavor.

I have some samples of SouthBeach ones, but haven't tried yet because they sound very fruity. BLAH!!

I'd stick with the fruit flavors if possible. There is a chocolate one that's, shall we say, interesting at best. The lemonade one is good. I like that one as well.

I like those kinds of things as long as they don't have the sugar substitute. I think I"m allergic to it or something because it makes me so sick.

too sweet for me...didn't really like them

They gave out samples at the mall once. It was pretty good.
I only drink water with lemon or lime juice added.

I have never tried the special k powder, but I have tried the pre-mixed special k bottled water and I have one word....Yuck!

I think that is the one that my step daughter drinks. She likes it. Me, I stick with Diet Coke or good ole H2O.

I'm with Amanda. I tried the Special K one in a bottle and didn't care for it at all. I drink water, milk, iced tea, coke. I'm guilty of buying the little kool aid packets now to dump in the water bottle just for a change of pace.

I'm into Propel and Diet Green Tea.

I haven't tried the Special K drinks but I have tried the Crystal Light ones, South Beach Living and also the Celestial Seasonings powders to pour into drink bottles. I love the Crystal Light the best, South Beach second and CS third.

I also make my own mixtures. I put tea bags in a pyrex measuring cup with water and set it in the sun, I pour the Crystal Light drink mix into a pitcher, up to the 1 quart mark, and then I put it in the refrigerator. Then when the tea has infused, I add it to the pitcher, mix it up and serve it with dinner. I can change the flavors depending on the teas and the drink mixes. Right now my favorite is Celestial Seasoning Peach Tea with Crystal Light Lemonade. Mmmm....
