I used to drink Crystal Light lemonade back in the day, but quit when my grocery budget was reduced due our economic situation.
That being said, I was pretty excited to have been chosen to review Crystal Light, and two packets of lemonade were included. I love this stuff!
It was easy for me to make the transition to drinking Crystal Light for lunch and with dinner- I am big water and sun tea drinker in the summer, but sometimes water and tea with lemon gets boring.
Crystal Light has the just level of sour to sweet, it's refreshing and it's sugar free. The packet was so flavorful that when I had 1/4 of the bottle left I was able to add about 1/2 cup more water and still have very flavorful lemonade.
My only complaint is that Crystal Light used aspartame. I am not fond of drinking or eating any sugar substitutes due to the negative side effects.
Out of 5 lemons, I give Crystal Light Lemonade 4 1/2. Would I buy it? Maybe. Provided I had coupons and/or it was on sale and less expensive than the store brand.

Hmmm, put a tad in your favorite martini glass and top it with a healthy portion of chilled Grey Goose. Curiously refreshing.
I hear you on it being boring drinking water all the time, but I'm not into those 'artificial sweeteners' scientists end up finding out 10 years after you've been drinking it, the stuff is slowly killing you. If I'm going to have lemonade...make mine real. I don't need to add as much sugar as manufacturers do...because I'm already sweet enough...LOL! I ain't no sourpuss.
Great review! I love lemonade, and our local supermarket makes a really great one. Now, I'm wondering why I haven't seen it on sale this summer. I agree with you on the aspartarme, it is really a turn off for me. Now that I'm pregnant I'm trying to stay away from all of the artificial stuff, and I will continue to do so as long as I'm nursing as well. I keep the boys off all light stuff as well for the same reason.
My daughter drinks this stuff all the time; in different flavors. I think it is cool it comes in those little packets just right for bottled water. I'm not really a fan, but do think it is "OK"... Good review, thanks.
Fantastic review!!! I do not drink it... I never think to buy it actually! I like my h2o plain most times lol.
Great review! Like you, I stay away from the artificial sweetners, which is why I ddin't sign up to review this one.
I like raspberry lemonade
or even cherry lemonade
I've never cared for Crystal Light. I drink Lipton diet iced tea with lemon, I put fresh lemon slices in it to make it taste fresher. Thanks for the review
I like this stuff ,too !
don't think I have ever had crystal lite.
