Crystal Light has introduced a tasty sister, Crystal Light Pure, which replaces Crystal Light Pure Fitness. Because there’s no artificial sweetener, there’s no artificial aftertaste, which is what kept us from enjoying regular Crystal Light (yes, we know that millions of people love it, including some of our closest friends).

But if you’d like a more natural-tasting, low calorie fruit drink—as well as one made of all-natural ingredients—we nominate Crystal Light Pure.

All-natural Crystal Light Pure has no artificial sweeteners, flavors or preservatives. It’s sweetened with sugar and Truvia, a natural sweetener derived from the stevia plant (a member of the holly family). Stevia has no calories, so even after the addition of sugar, the drink has just 15 calories per 8-ounce serving, with 4g sugar. (Regular Crystal Light has 5 calories per serving and 0g sugar.)

The sweetness level is so natural that even those who normally use all-sugar-sweetened drink mixes should give it a try.

 
You can make a pitcher of Crystal Light Pure or add it to a reusable water bottle and drink sustainably all summer long.

And, a bit of gin, vodka or tequila turns it into a fruity, lower-calorie cocktail.

Crystal Light Pure is available at supermarkets nationwide and on Amazon.com.
