I received this as part of the Product review club. I am a fan of Vitamin Waters in general and I was excited to try Aquafina's take on it.
The price (1.99/bottle) is very reasonable and lower than the competitors.
I also liked the flavors that were labelled clearly (vs names like Energy etc where you have to read more down the label to decide if you're going to like it or not)
I also really liked that there were only 10 calories per bottle.
The apple pear flavor was my favorite, although I would also buy the lemonade flavor again.
The product gets high scores from me for price and flavor - my only criticism is that there is a bit of that sweetener aftertaste - when the beverage is very cold or if you eat it with food, it masks that a bit for me.
I believe the "higher" calorie vitamin waters usually pack about 100 calories, so because I don't love the aftertaste, I will mostly stick to those although these are a good lower calorie alternative!
I’m sipping the Acai Fruit Punch flavour, and I really enjoy it! I don’t normally drink flavoured water because it usually tastes watered down, but this has been quite refreshing and I it has just the amount of flavour, but not too much that it tastes like juice.
For 1.99, I would definitely try a few more flavours.
What I like most about this drink is how big the bottle is and it`s still only 10 calories!
I bought the Strawberry Lemonde flavour last weekend and I like it the best out of all the ones I've tried. It's a very light flavour and tastes a little like kool aid I would definitely buy it again as a substitute for my usual diet coke
got my 6 bottles to try last e the week... I love the pear flavour.... i sometimes had 2 a day and i didn't feel guilty drinking it even though it felt like i was drinking juice. I am not much of a water type of person, but I will definitely continue to drink this. I prefer drinking the aquafina plus vitamines with my food instead of juice. its only 10 calories and added vitamins. How can you go wrong?
I received this product as a part of the Product Review Club here on Chickadvisor :)
I was expecting a couple bottles and was pleasantly surprised with 6 full sized bottles in 3 different flavours (fuji apple pear, strawberry lemonade and black blue berry).
I enjoyed the flavour of the black & blue berry the best, followed by the apple pear, and lastly the strawberry lemonade. The fact that they are packed with vitamins made me like it even more because it's flavoured water with a purpose :) The water is naturally sweetened with Stevia extract, which after doing my research is commonly known as sweetleaf, sugarleaf, or simply stevia, and is widely grown for its sweet tasting leaves. As a sweetener and sugar substitute, stevia's taste has a slower onset and longer duration than that of sugar, although some of its extracts may have a bitter or licorice-like aftertaste at high concentrations.
It tasted a bit like artificial sweetener and had that lingering aftertaste I am not too fond of. I also gave my mom a bottle to try and she agreed that it was a bit too sweet tasting. I think Aquafina could safely use a bit less stevia and still have an amazing product!
Overall, a 10 calorie drink packed with vitamins and sweet tasting flavours is sure to be one of my top picks this spring and summer! I might even try freezing them into popsicles to beat the heat and curb my sweet tooth :)
I will recommend this product to my friends and co-workers! Cheers!
Aquafina has long been making not only flavoured water, but flavuored water with vitamins added. I was always a huge fan of their pomegranite cherry. Recently I got the opportunity to try three of their new 10 calorie vitamin waters: Fuji Apple Pear, Strawberry Lemonade, and Black & Blue Berry. I was VERY impressed.
The drinks didn't taste at all like artificial sweetener like many flavoured water drinks on the market do. They almost tasted like a light version of juice. My favorite was the strawberry lemonade! It was so refreshing, and definitely something I would drink on a regular basis. In fact, all the flavours were delicious, and the fact that they were only 10 calories per drink made me feel even better about it, since I don't like to waste my daily calories on drinks!
I love the fact that they contain extra vitamins (B, C, and E). I wouldn't rely on these drinks to fulfill all my daily nutritional needs, simply because they don't contain all the vitamins a multi-vitamin would; However, they are an amazing supplement. If you happen to not eat any fruit that day, you know you are getting over 100% of your vitamin C needs. Extra B vitamins are always good to have as well, as many girls are low in B12 which can lead to sluggishness.
I would certainly buy this water again and drink at least one a day knowing I'm taking an extra step for my health all while getting my daily water needs. It definitely makes water a little more delicious and easier to drink the recommended amount. I hope they can somehow make the other flavours 10 calories as well! Good work, Aquafina.
I was chosen, along with many others to review three flavours of Aquafina plus vitamin 10 cal enhanced water. I recieved two bottles of Fuji Apple Pear, Strawberry Lemonade, and Black & Blue Berry - six bottles in total. After sampling all three flavours I have found I quite enjoyed the taste of all of them.
I did find however that sampling them while they were slightly cold verus ice cold made a big difference.
When I first sampled all three they had only been in the fridge for less than an hour and I found that the artifical taste came across much more than when they were ice cold. Once I tasted them again when they were ice cold, I enjoyed them very much. I found that the flavours were more powerful and the artifical taste and after taste was not a factor anymore.
The Fuji Apple Pear Aquafina had a nice pairing of both apple and pear flavours. The taste was great, refreshing, and not overpowering.
The Strawberry Lemonade Aquafina I also really enjoyed. The lemonade flavour was the main flavour I could taste but for someone who loves lemonade and anything with a lemonade flavour, I really liked it.
The Black & Blue Berry Aquafina had a great tasting flavour but was my least favourite out of the three flavours I tried. One great thing about this flavour was that although you could taste the black and blueberry, it did not have the strong sweet taste that you might expect.
I also found the packaging and labeling very appealing. The bright vibrant colours of the packaging are very eye catching and the bottle itself is sleek, modern and fits perfectly in your hand.
Overall I found that Fuji Apple Pear, Strawberry Lemonade, and Black & Blue Berry Aquafina plus vitamins 10 cal enhance water had a great taste that was refreshing. I would purchase all three of these products in the future. Thank you to Aquafina and Chick Advisor for giving me the opportunity to review such a great product.
I received this as part of the product review panel. I have tasted the blue and blackberry, lemonade, and fuji apple. I was pleasantly surprised by how good they tasted. The flavour was strong enough that you could actually taste it, but not overwhelming. The flavours all tasted pretty good, I think my favourite was the lemonade. My husband liked it as well. There was still the slight aftertaste from the artificial sweetners, but not too bad. Overall, much better for you then drinking a sugary juice, with a very similar taste!
I am not a huge "flavored" water fan normally like my water as is but was totally open to trying it. What was the worst that could happen? I wouldnt like it! Well I absolutely LOVED this vitamin water. Not only did the Strawberry Lemonade, Berry and Apple-pear taste wonderful I have since tried other flavors and they are all delicious! I have found myself having more energy and all around feeling more up beat when I drink this water twice a day. It truly helps me out especially when I forget to take my vitamin in the morning or eat breakfast because I am rushed. Totally worth trying and now my fridge never has less than two bottles in it if it does its off to the store to stock back up! Thanks for the opportunity to try this product as I probably never would have otherwise and it is wonderful!
Well it was pretty sweet to get a box full of these to try out for free, so thanks again ChickAdvisor!
The first flavour I tried was Fuji Apple Pear, and I was surprised how much it actually tasted like fruit juice. No other flavoured vitamin water (that I have tried) has this much flavour - it puts the Aquafina Flavour Splash flavoured water to shammeeeee!!
It has stevia extract in it, and I like that fact because it works (this drink is sweeter than I would have expected), it's natural and it doesn't leave a nasty taste or feeling in my mouth like artificial sweeteners seem to.
The Black and Blue Berry was nice too. It just tasted like berries! But again, it was very sweet (almost too sweet but not there yet).
Last night I tried the Strawberry Lemonade, and it was the only one that didn't taste as much like it's name. It's mostly just strawberry flavour, with a hint of tartness, but it still tastes good.
Compared to other flavoured/vitamin waters, I really enjoyed these drinks. They have much more flavour, supposedly have a lot of good things for your body, and they are pretty thirst-quenching. I won't be drinking these on a regular basis, but will definitely recommend them to my friends and family :)
I received the following 3 flavours to try : Fuji Apple Pear, Strawberry Lemonade and Black & Blue Berry.
My favorite by far was the Fuji Apple Pear. It tasted great and I felt that my thirst was satisfied. The Strawberry Lemonade was good, but I was still thirsty after finishing it. As for the Black & Blue Berry...I couldn't finish the bottle once it started to get warm. It tasted like cough syrup & did not leave a pleasant aftertaste.
Of the 3, I would recommend the Fuji Apple Pear & Strawberry Lemonade...but never the Black & Blue Berry!
