Flavor Aid reviews

Great selection and strong flavors

Every flavor in this box is not only tasty, but they have a strong flavor. I often use singles like these with either flavored seltzers or to add to iced tea, and with some brands the flavor gets too diluted or lost. These make a strong drink on their own, and the flavor stands up to using them in combination with other liquids. I also like to switch up what I'm drinking, so I like the versatility of the singles so I can make a 32 oz pitcher, rather than a full 2 qt one, and change things up frequently. They dissolve quickly, but you will need to stir/shake vigorously. I also appreciate that there were no clumps, and that the powder poured easily without leaving a lot of the mix behind. Good value for a box of 50 (most are only 40 at this price), and I liked all of the flavors. The cucumber limeade was balanced without being too tart, Jamaica was a refreshing hibiscus inspired drink, and the mango and strawberry watermelon were exactly what they say they are. Will definitely get more when these run out.

Same Great Flavor Everytime!

These powered drink mix packets have been my daily go to drink for the past year, I never get tired of the flavor. They mix very well with just a couple shakes in a normal 16 oz water bottle, very refreshing and my go to drink whenever I just don't want to drink plain water.

Flavor Aid Singles To Go Drink Mix

These are great! Very convenient to carry in your bag, car or just to keep on hand at home. They taste great and they mix with your water really quick. Works great when you're watching calories or sugar content. Quick for kids to use by themselves which is an added bonus! You get a good variety of flavors and the price is great for the amount you get per box!

Helps Me Drink More Water

If you are ok with (or need) a sugar free option to help you get your water intake, these are working for me. They’re absolutely not aguas frescas flavored, but for me that’s ok. I think the flavors are still pretty good and I wasn’t expecting the real thing in a powder packet. Once in a while I add a little bit of chamoy to doctor them up. Best for the price that I have found so far. Drink up!

My favorite drink mix by far

The Cucumber Limeade is my absolute favorite drink mix, not just from Flavor Aid, but compared to other brands too. I’m so glad they sell this flavor on its own because it’s the one I keep coming back to. They are pretty sweet to me, so I use about 1.5 packets in my 40 oz tumbler, fill it about 75% full with water, and then add ice. I do that twice a day, but it’s very easy to adjust the amount depending on your taste, if you want it sweeter/stronger to even more subtle flavor. Since I started using these, I very rarely reach for diet soda anymore, and I have a much easier time staying hydrated. They’re sugar-free and only 10 calories per packet, which is a big plus. If cucumber/lime is your jam, I cannot recommend these enough.

Great for helping meet daily water goals!

This is the best water drink mix ever ! My kid use to barely drink water. But after adding this to roughly 16oz of water my kid finally drinks the full thing. It dissolves quickly, it’s sugar free, easy to take on the go, and inexpensive! I highly recommended for anyone who has trouble meeting their daily water goals but hates the flavor of most other water enhancements.

Very lime forward but still good.

It is very lime forward but still good. Just wish there was more cucumber. Will probably still buy again.

Artificial sweeteners

I love the taste, but the sweetener changed from stevia to the standard sweeteners in soda. Artificial sweeteners irritate my brother. So because of that, I will not be able to order them again.

Great Strong Taste

I quit drinking as many cola in January and was determined to drink water. I hate water! I researched flavor packs and this was kept saying the flavor was strong. I tried it and loved it! I've ordered this numerous times. It is kinda strong, but that's why I like it. I've really cut my cola drinking down with this. I was drinking a 2 liter of diet Mountain Dew a day and now I drink a 2liter a week. My stomach feels better and my skin looks healthier. This is a win win thing for me!

Great flavor packets

These FlavorAid Aguas Fresca to go packets are really good. They're sweetened with aspartame but they don't have a gross aftertaste like some. It says to mix 1 packet in a 16.9oz water bottle but I found that too be a little too sweet for my taste so I just add half a packet. The powder fully dissolves and all the flavors are really good. The packets arrived very fresh with an expiration date out almost 2 years from receiving them.

A variety of bright, tasty flavors

These water flavor drink mixes are really tasty! Each packet flavors between 16-20oz of water, and they're all quite strong, so I'd recommend going with the higher amount of water. All four flavors are distinct and unique, and actually taste like what it says on the package. You get strawberry watermelon, mango, cucumber limeade, and Jamaica. Jamaica tastes a lot like hibiscus tea, and while it's my least favorite of the four, it's still very nice. Cucumber limeade tastes like lime at first, but with a surprising cucumber aftertaste. Both the mango and the strawberry watermelon taste exactly like you'd expect from the name. These packets are low calorie and both sugar and sodium free. Be aware they contain aspartame, if that's of concern to you.

Nice, but not uniquely so

I'd never seen Jamaica or cucumber limeade in a single-serve drink mix powder, so I had to give these a try. I'm not a big fan of floral flavors, hibiscus included, so I was pleasantly surprised to find that the Jamaica leans more into the fruity notes than the floral ones. If you're thinking hibiscus as you drink, sure, you can taste it, but without looking for it I would assume this was pomegranate, black cherry, or maybe cranberry. I didn't know what to expect with the cucumber limeade, especially with how the cucumber has been downplayed in the tropical art on the packaging. Strawberry, watermelon, mango, hibiscus, all front and center... the cucumber? Just kinda... under the lime, and... covered up by the splashing water effect. So, how's the drink mix itself? Unfortunately (or fortunately, for some people), the cucumber's presence here is just as masked as on the box. It tastes like any other lemon-lime or limeade drink mix (maybe just a bit less aggressive), and if I were to ever guess that the second flavor is cucumber, it would only be because cucumber and lime are occasionally paired up.

I like being able to control the sweetness

I have enjoyed this drink mix. I have been using 5 teaspoons sugar for 2 quarts. Thats suits my pallet, its not as sweet as artificial sweetener.

it's delicious

they are very good, not as good as Kool aid brand but a definite close. I will say I add less water when I make it like 1 3/4 quart makes it very good. and he price is very good

Great taste and price.

Great price and individual packets. I like it unsweetened because then I can make I add the amount of sweetener that I like. Great grape taste too.

Pleasant memory from childhood days

Reminds me of refreshments at VBS when I was young. So glad to find this.

Traditional non sweetened drink mix

I was happy to find this as it disappeared from our local stores. The packets are easy to confuse with the water bottle packets but this is your traditional half gallon size packs. Tasted the same as it used to and happy to find this product. Price is a bit high but sometimes it will go on sale.

Better option than Kool Aid

Same as Kool Aid at a fraction of the price

Doesn't taste bad, probably on par or better than the other stuff

Less in the pack!

For some reason these packs seem to have less in them because they taste nothing like the store bought version. Very bland and watery tasting..Waist of money

A Great Tasting “Kool Aid”

I’ve read some of the other reviews and I think some may think this product is a sweetened mix for your water bottle. It is not. You mix this with two quarts of water and add your own sweetener. I use one teaspoon of pure stevia extract powder with 2 packets for a full gallon and it tastes perfect. The price is great. It is half the price of Kool Aid brand drink mixes.

Tastes great, less damage to your wallet

I remember when flavor-aid came out to compete with Kool-Aid. I drink a lot of flavored beverages made with liquid splenda to eliminate carbs. I purchased this to see if it was still as good as it was in the day and it did not disappoint. Has a good cherry flavor and the packs are much smaller than the other brand, but still make 2 qts a package. They are 0 sugar and must be sweetened by you, I use two packets and a teaspoon of 25% liquid splenda and mix, and have a gallon of a tasty refreshing cherry drink. Simple, mixes very easy and saves money. What more can you want from a drink mix?

Awful tasting

Do not buy this. No matter how much suger you add to it you can not kill the terrible taste this stuff has. Save your money
