Drink Bai5 tastes great
Ok I look for things to drink also being diabetic I try to stay away from allot of Sugar.....
So I found Bai5 at Quik Trip. You can also go to www.Drinkbai5.com I get mine now through Amazon. THey have clementine, Lemon, and a bunch of flavors.....anyway....the taste is great.....5 calories..... sweetened with Erithritol (I know I didnt spell that right) anyway its a natural sweetener from fruits so no Sorbitol or Malitol. I like them straight from the bottle as the drink..but then I also drink a little off the top then stick it in the freezer and get it almost Solid Frozen and beat it on the counter edge......very strong bottles.....and makes an amazing slushy........ the lemon tastes Just like Frozen Lemonaide. Limu Lemon is the name.... But anyway.... my 2 cents worth......
The use of Erythritol rather than one of the other sugar alcohols (which ALL have a basis in fruits, so it is NOT unique in that) isn't a big deal. There are some claims that it produces less digestive distress than the others, but there is no evidence to back that up. So people who are sensitive to sugar alcohols may also be sensitive to this product...

You don't drown by falling in the water. You drown by staying there.
I know one thing.....Based on Sugar Alcohols and experiences in the past....... I drink about 2 Bai5 a day, and also eat Quest bars, all of which contain Erythritol. I dont have that urge to stay somewhere near a bathroom. It does not effect my Glycemic index since I am diabetic, and it doesnt hurt my calorie count since as of yesterday I am down 153 lbs in 7 months. I know it will affect everyone differently.....I just threw it out there because most "Flavored Waters" (I wont mention Zero Water by name) but they all taste pretty terrible, and since we are either having or have had the WLS, we need to stay away from Carbonated and or Sparkling type waters. These taste great...some are a little different, but also dont forget to freeze them to almost slushy..... the coconut is good frozen as well.... Pomagranate almost doubles in tartness frozen ...but ohhhh sooo good.....
I like to find things and pass it on..... just like the Quest bars........ Rememeber....you can bake with Quest bars...... they make cookies........cut them in half, roll them each into a ball and bake about 7-8 min on 350 and you have delicious cookies. There is an entire channel on youtube dedicated to Baking with Quest bars... and thats what its called "Baking with Quest Bars"
