My husband, being the great guy that is, knows that I love Snapple and he also knows that I'm trying to get back into a bikini this summer. While he's standing in the refrigerated beverage section of the store he sees something new... Snapple Refresh, a low calorie juice drink. The bottle reads "Naturally flavored Noni Berry juice drink with other natural flavors." Sounds good right? He grabbed a bottle (along with my favorite) to try. Food Tip #1: never put anything in your mouth without reading the full label. That being said, let's take a look at the Snapple Refresh label.

REALLY? Damn.
Is it all Snapple or just this one?
The regular Snapple is still "made from the best stuff on earth."
BUT- The diet, low calorie, and "enhanced" Snapples don't live up to the Snapple slogan.
*side note: Snapple is still only 5% juice. It's basically sugar (real sugar) water with a little juice added to it, but it's way better for you than drinking a coke.And they're sooo good. ;)
