BOLERO Sugar Free Drink Mix Packets - Pick Your Fruit Flavors | Powdered Flavored Water Packets - 36 Large Sachets On The Go

Great substitute for sodas & sugar

I ordered the variety pack (it's not well labeled, it says 2 pounds. It's 'one with everything', including a handful of smaller ones (like the energy drinks) that only come in the smaller size. I haven't had a 'bad' flavor yet, a few I wasn't fond of, a few _really_ good ones... still working thru the pile. They are good overall, and I've done entire pitchers (1.5L of water tends to be too sweet for me, so often 2L or so is better). I've also tried partial envelopes, and it works. If you don't use the rest, it'll harden/absorb moisture, but adding the 'lump' (or a piece) works just fine still. I wish there was an alternative to the Acesulfame K, Sucralose, Steviol Glycosides (Stevia Extracts) combo... as I'm not a fan of any of them in general. (Do your own research...) but that aside, recommended.

I was looking for a non sugar replacement for Gatorade powder and this is great. Only reason it’s not 5 stars is that all the flavors are not to my liking. On the plus side the flavor taste just like the real thing. Example; the orange doesn’t taste like orange flavoring, it tastes like you just bit into an actual 🍊 orange. What I have been doing now is ordering just the flavors I like vs the variety pack.

Update: 5/2/21 We are still loving this product! I just subscribed to Amazon's save and subscribe and we get the 24 variety pack. I also got a Brita water filter and cut the filtration part off and we use it as a water dispenser. I add one sachet to the entire Brita container and it makes for a quick water fillip:) We absolutely love this product. The first time I tried it was a fitness expo and I've been searching for this product all over the place and I was happy to find it on Amazon. The one I ordered had a variety of 12 different flavors. The kids and I would take a teaspoon an added to a quart of water and it was perfect combination not too sweet and not too plain. The Fantastic thing about this product is you can add as little or as much as you want to make it a perfect flavor. We also try mixing some of the flavors together, such as hibiscus and coconut. If you hate plain water this is a great product to give it a nice flavor. I would suggest ordering the variety pack so you can taste each flavor and see which ones you like most so then you can just order your favorite flavors.

And it is terrible. The Stevia taste is overwhelming to the point that IMHO it is undrinkable with a foul aftertaste that you cannot rinse out. It is underhanded and sneaky to market this overpriced AND non-returnable, non refundable along side other products with a reasonable return policy. I shop on Amazon Prime so that I can try out new products without the fear of throwing my money away. In MY opinion this product should be de-listed by Amazon due to their return policy alone. Also, given the fact that the items weight is advertised only by the volume of drink that it makes, furthers the notion that this company is misrepresenting their product. There is no conceivable reason that this non-perishable, individually packaged product is ineligible for return other than the fact that it is overpriced and tastes awful.

I realized that Bolero causes me extreme dry mouth, both right away and after waking up the next day. I got the variety pack and almost all the flavors are really delicious. I usually use one packet with about 4+ liters of water because the prefer more of a hint of flavor rather something that tastes like juice. But I won’t be buying again because the dry mouth makes me really uncomfortable… more hydrated, but you feel thirstier.

Bolero makes wonderful product that I utterly swear by and the reason for the title of this review is what happened with my most recent order. I ordered the 36 variety pack and one of the flavors I ordered was "banana strawberry". They were currently out of that flavor so instead they sent me 12 packets of "banana" and 12 packets of "strawberry" as an apology and stated that they will send me a 12 pack of the "banana strawberry" when they are back in stock. So essentially I'm getting 24 packs free as an apology. This is the best deal I've gotten from a mistake in a long time. Buy from Bolero, if they don't have what you want right away they'll make it right.

I'm absolutely hooked on these. The flavors, especially for being sugar free, match what they say to an unbelievable degree. If you like fresh watermelon, that's exactly what it tastes like instead of whatever weird fake watermelon Jolly Rancher uses. I mix a third of a sachet with about 2oz of water and slowly pour into a fizzed Sodastream bottle. You'll never go back to retail soda again after trying pear or blackcurrant bubbly.
