Default I cheat with OJ

I can't stand the low-carb, so I just drink the real stuff as a treat.

I just bought Tropicana's version of the lower sugar/less carbs - I sure loved it! It satisfies my need for OJ without ovedoing it.

I have been drinking the Crystal Lite Sunrise. Obviously not the same thing, but it does satisfy my cravings.

Marisa, the Crystal Lite drink is a powder you mix with water, so it's obviously has no real oranges in it like regular OJ would. It's fairly sweet too, due to the NutraSweet. Some people say it tastes a lot like Sunny D, but I have never had Sunny D so I can't compare. Remember Tang? It's like that -- not tastewise, but it mixes the same and is the same color.

Ohh ok.. so it doesn't taste at all like real OJ ? I do wish they could find some way of extracting the sugar from real OJ, I miss it.

Tang was pretty good though. Too bad they can't make sugar- free tang !

I like the tropicana light and healthy. 1/2 the sugar & calories. It has 50 calories in 8 oz and 13g carbs, 10 of those are sugar. I only count actual sugars not carbs so its good for me. Doesnt quite taste as good as regular orange juice but its a pretty good substitute.

My daughter and I like to buy the Carb Countdown Orange&Pineapple flavor and mix it with a bit of diet ginger ale ... yummy!

For "pure" oj, we buy the Tropicana Light and Healthy and we actually like it better than "real" oj!

TammyLynn1976 you said the tropicana light and healthy doesn't taste as good as regular orange juice. Is it less sweet/more sour or what ?

Marissa,

Hmm let me think about it. Its not bad at all. Just not the same as OJ I guess. Its not as sweet and tangy as regular OJ. Nor is it as "thick." The consistency is not the same. I like pulp in my OJ and that makes it "heavier" I guess. The consistency of the Lo Carb is like water to me. It is good though. I keep it in my fridge at all times. The guys don't like it, but that means I get to drink it all!

Tammy

Let me say I work for a very large OJ company who's product has been mentioned here and the light verison on the OJ is basically the same with alot more water added to it then the orginal.. A few others things have been changed but for the most part its just more water in it.. Its ok if you like OJ personally I'm not a OJ person... But I could drink it... I say buy a small one like a single serving one before buying the large ones to make sure you like it.

They do make sugar-free Tang. It's very good! It comes in powder form, just like kool-aid or crystal light.

According to a news story I heard, you can basically buy regular OJ & water it down...it would be the same thing as the low carb/sugar kind. They actually tried it & it worked... I personally just drink a small glass when I drink OJ & DH only likes the kind w/ no pulp so it's the only kind we get.
