SweetLeaf Water Drops Variety (Pack of 6)

its good to add to water some taste, but you feel its not natural.. I expected more natural and healthy ingrediencies.

Only good one out of all 6 of these was the strawberry kiwi. The peach mango one was way too sweet and the other ones just tasted like alcohol to me. They also leaked and were sticky. Definitely not worth paying over 30$ for these.

I am an avid plain water drinker however the husby is hooked on his diet soda and sugar-free flavor packets, like crush, fruit punch etc that he can buy at Wally World. I bought these thinking they would be a little healthier than the artificial flavored sugar free stuff he was already buying. They might have Stevia and Monk Fruit, but if the taste and smell are so HORRIBLE that you can't even take a sip than what is the point! Like others, the package arrived with sticky gooey beads all over the wrapping and the smell is very odd almost like a candle, like wax and the feel of whatever has leaked also has an oily/waxy feel. Taste: is awful, I think I'd honestly rather take grass and edible plants from the yard and mix them with water than drink water with this stuff in it. It is that bad! Remember being a kid and taking rose petals and mixing it with water and taking sips, this stuff is about a thousand times worse than that. Oh and if you are still thinking about trying this stuff, remember there is a NO RETURN policy so you can be a sucka, sucka like me and waste money!!

I don't love plain water, but need to hydrate more, so I've been looking for a better-tasting stevia or alternative to monkfruit with erythritol. SweetLeaf seems to be harder to find in stores and is a bit pricey, so it took me a while to try it out. Here are some pro/cons and a description of all the flavors. PROS - O calories, sugars, or carbs; no artificial sweeteners or colors, based on organic, non-GMO stevia. I've been going through an elimination diet and could still use this. - Doesn't have the Stevia aftertaste that you have even in products like Zevia. (However, the hubby won't tolerate ANY stevia taste, so it's still a "no" from him.) - Great if, like me, you like the flavors in candy and fountain drinks, but don't like the negative ingredients/side effects. TIP: start with less and build up the flavor if you want it sweeter/stronger as it can get overpowering if you put too much. - Easy to use and carry with you. - I have been drinking so much more water using these drops! - After 4 weeks, hasn't upset my stomach as stevia sometimes does. - Has completely replaced my buying VitaminWaters and Zevia, so ultimately a huge cost savings. CONS - Pricey if you want to buy just one (most flavors). Also, I went through 3 bottles in just 1-2 weeks while figuring out how much to use. You may use less, but the bottles aren't huge. - It has a lot of packaging. Plastic bottle, plastic wrap seal, plastic packaging for the multipack. - I had at least 2-3 that arrived sticky on the outside, so I assume some leakage. (No inner foil seal, just the plastic overwrap on the flip top). - NOTE! These don't taste like natural fruit flavors. I don't mind, but if you want that, you might instead try doing infusions with real fruit and then adding some clear/plain stevia drops if you want it sweeter. Here's my review of the flavors, which I liked overall: - Strawberry Kiwi: Seems to be most popular in reviews and posts. I found it to be great all around and drank it all day, every day for 3 weeks without getting tired of it. Reminds me of Starburst strawberry; no kiwi I can detect. - Raspberry Lemonade: My 2nd favorite. Mostly tastes like the raspberry in a raspberry Lipton fountain iced tea with an end note of lemon SweetTart. SweetLeaf lemon in general tastes more like bottled lemon juice, and is very faint (such as in their monkfruit lemonade flavor, which I don't recommend). - Mixed Berry: Mostly raspberry with a bit of blueberry syrup (such as for pancakes). Less sweet than the Strawberry Kiwi. 3rd on my go-to list. - Peach Mango: Like the "peach" you get in iced/hot teas. I don't detect any mango. Can be a bit heavy; build up the flavor gradually. - Tropical Punch: Tastes mostly like coconut water flavoring with a bit of tartness. Best when cold. Smells like a pina colada in the bottle. NOT at all like Hawaiian Punch/Kool-Aid tropical punch flavor. - Lemon Lime: My least favorite here, and also in the candy world. Tastes mainly like a flat, less sweet Sprite, with mostly lime notes. I won't use it again for water; maybe as a flavor in a smoothie or elsewhere. Good buy? I'd start with buying a single bottle (e.g., Strawberry Kiwi) to see if you like the Stevia base and general flavor. If you like that, this multipack is a great next step to try other flavors. I would definitely buy this multipack again for variety if it didn't have the Lemon Lime. Highly recommend the brand and range of flavors in general. TIP: try their chocolate drops!!

I am only giving three stars because the flavors are not as vibrant or tasty as other brands I have tried. I really wanted to love this because it uses Stevie as a natural sweetner and does not have harmful ingredients. However, the flavors taste artificial. I have tried Lemon Lime and the Tropical so far and they are very muted. For someone who desires a very light flavoring, this might be fine. I prefer something bolder.

I love the variety of flavors and that they're sweetened with stevia. The only thing I expected was that the flavors would be more intense. I have to use 4-5 squirts per glass of water to taste the flavor. Because there are only 48 servings (squirts) in each bottle, and I drink a lot of water, the bottles won't last as long as I would like. I am enjoying them, though, and will probably get them again.
