My Opinion of Glaceau Vitamin Water

I will be the first to admit that I am not a big water drinker. I will not tell you that I don't like water because that is not the case. I actually like water and have very good drinking water in my spring, I just don't drink anywhere near as much as I should. I think that part of that is due to the fact that I crave a sweet taste. I am a huge fan of Mountain Dew and drink a lot more of it than I should. I decided that I would really like to lose some weight and I didn't think that the 170 calories per can of Mountain Dew was going to help me achieve my goal. I decided it was time to go in search of a flavored water. I found one called Glaceau Vitamin Water. I have to say that this water is very different from other flavored water that I have tried. If you read on you will find some information about this product.

I have seen this product in a couple of different sizes. I am a fan of the 20 ounce bottle. This is a plastic bottle with a screw cap. I find this to be a very portable bottle. I sometimes think there isn't enough in the bottle but, the larger size bottle seems like it wouldn't be as portable and convenient.

Price:

The price of the 20 ounce bottle usually runs about $1.39 in the grocery store and a little more in the convenience stores. I have found it on sale quite often for $1.00 per bottle. In the area that I live in this water can also be bought in a variety pack that contains twelve bottles but, I don't find it to be any cheaper this way, most of the stores here charge the same for a twelve pack as they do twelve single bottles.

Taste:

I think this water tastes great. I will say that some of the names for the flavors are kind of strange, but they offer a wide variety such as Power C Dragon Fruit, XXX, and Lemonade. The Glaceau Vitamin Water is not a real sweet water like some of the other flavored water and it does not leave that nasty after taste in your mouth that some of the other brands do. The water does not lack flavor either. I would have to say that the water is flavored just right.

Calories:

Glaceau Vitamin Water is not calorie free like some flavored water, on average most 20 ounce bottles contain 125 calories. I know that the calories may be a deterent to some, but it does have added benefits. The water may not be free of calories but it does have the added benefit of Vitamins.

Vitamins:

The Glaceau Vitamin water contains vitamins such as Vitamin C, Vitamin B3, Vitamin B6, Vitamin B12, Vitamin B5 and others depending on the flavor you choose. This is a great way to get a variety of added Vitamins in your diet.

I have found that I have been drinking a lot less Mountain Dew now that I have found this water. I know there is not a huge difference in the amount of calories between this and soda but, I figure that every time I take in less calories it is that many less that I have consumed. I also like the added benefit of the vitamins in this water. I feel that helps to insure that I am getting enough vitamins, at least some of them any way. It is also healthier. I would definitely reccomend this product, not only is it healthy but, it tastes great too.
