Staying adequately hydrated is important, especially in the summer months because of how quickly water can exit through our pores as we sweat. Drinking water is a healthier beverage. But let’s be honest, water has a bland taste. Therefore, many turn to sugar and calorie laden sodas and juices. However, True Citrus products I am about to review are crystallized citrus drink mixes that offer a great way to introduce flavor and enjoy the health benefits of water again.
**Disclaimer: This post has been compensated. Opinions are solely mine.**
The reason True Citrus won’t flood your system with artificial flavors, preservatives, sodium, and calories is because their products use crystallized citrus from the fruit’s oils and juices. Some of their crystallized drink mixes have just a little of sugar and Stevia while others like their new fruit fusion drinks are unsweetened natural blends.
Why Crystallized Citrus and True Citrus Products Are Healthier Beverage and Cooking Alternatives
Whether you crave lemonades, limeades, fruity ice teas, energy drinks or taking up plain water with lemon, lime or orange as well as more sophisticated sugarless citrus and fruit combos like what the new True Citrus fruit fusions line has to offer can help improve quenching your thirst. The Fruit Fusions are ones I recently discovered from this latest True Citrus products review that are refreshing drinks without sugar that won’t comprise your waistline.
Fruit Infusions include Lemon Mint that brightens up water through that lively twist of mint, Lemon Raspberry is a nice balance of tart and fruity sweetness, the Lemon Strawberry is also a delicious brisk mix but slightly more tart than the Lemon Raspberry while the Lemon Cucumber Fruit Infusion uses cucumber for a different garden fresh taste. Of these four, my favorites were the Lemon Raspberry and Lemon Mint.
Though I used True Citrus Crystallized Lemon, Orange and Lime for cooking and baking as well as drinking, I never sampled any of their salt-free seasoning blends. I found the True Orange Ginger Spice Blend so handy for enhancing recipes. I tried it for the first time on chicken and it was fantastic. The next time, I plan on using it in my sweet-and-sour sauce.
I also tested out the True Lemon Pepper Spice Blend, which I loved on fish. Finding a salt-free lemon pepper spice is not always easy let alone tasty enough to want to keep using. Most that I encounter have an abundance of salt unlike this one from True Citrus.
In addition, I got to experiment with True Lemon Shaker and True Lime Shakers for cooking too. These are wonderful to reach for when you just need a hint of lively taste to brighten up your dishes like rice or add to a salad dressing or sauce.
The only one that I didn’t try is the True Lime Garlic Cilantro Spice Blend that I can tell from the ingredients is one that I would like. I plan to pick one up soon the next time I grocery shop.
If you haven’t ever tasted or used any of True Citrus crystallized citrus products for drinking or in recipes, then I encourage you to seek them out. This company provides healthier beverage alternatives and better for your body salt-free seasoning blends to flavor recipes. All it takes it to try their products at your home to be convinced!
