Snapple: "healthy juices" or just loads of sugar and water?

I love the ocean spray splenda juice. Before HMR, I drank a big glass of it
every day. It has 1/3 the amount of carbs as regular juice. I think it has
10 carbs, as opposed to 30 for 8 ounces. I don't remember the calorie
count, as it has been a while since I drank it. I personally think it
tastes better then the stuff with sugar....

Ah, I see... I guess I don't pay much attention as I've already found
I
don't like the brand - period.

We have our staples of what we buy... And for us - the juices are
either
the 100% fruit juices (apple, grape, etc) or the diet V8 splash (or
regular
V8 splash for the BF...) Or the ocean spray juices w/ splenda or
gatorade/poweraid. ALL of those get watered down though, so that you
get
6
to 8 oz for a large glass of water - or in my case, a 32oz bottle of
water....

Ocean Spray makes juice w/ splenda? *ears perk up* Is that relatively
new?
It takes a while for some newer products to reach us. How many calories
in
a serving? I also watered down my juice and will continue to do so once I
can have juice again. Right now I'm restricted to non-caloric beverages.

I think the H20 flavored water (I think made by snapple) with splenda tastes
great. It has 0 calories. My favorite one is orange.

there's a snapple without sugar? is that possible?


Their diet peach ice tea flavor doesn't have any sugar. I think the diet
raspberry tea is without sugar, too. I don't have a bottle of it
handy....

I suspect you mean Fruit-2-o, by Veryfine.

They also make a great sports drink with guarana in it. Very lightly
flavored and does quench thirst while working out. I like it for the
caffeine in it...it really does seem to help me on my early morning
workouts. Even if it's all in my mind, as trainer Eric once said (as he ate
his ritual protein bar, put on his lucky lifting socks and moaned about
missing his lucky lifting shirt) "Whatever works!".Elise

:-) great resource for splenda products.

The ocean spray has been out for a couple years now, and the longer
its out the more I see it around.

what about Arizona teas?

Needs an account ... That takes time to fill out. I'm too lazy for
that.

Right. And even "real" fruit juices are loaded with sugar naturally,
so even though they may have things in them like vitamin C, it's not
really worth the calories, unless you only drink 6 oz like at
breakfast... Better to find other vitamin sources and drink water.

i don't believe diet snapple has any sugar. But the problemis is that diet
lemon flavor tastes like garbage. Diet peach tastes very nice.
