If it helps you get in all of your liquids, my opinion is it's not too bad. I am guessing it is about 100 calories for about 30 ounces of liquids. I would recommend this over regular juice though. If you need a break from water, go for this over juice for sure.

I will add I am an advocate for plain water though. At your stage, if I wasn't drinking a protein shake I was sipping water, but some times we need something with a bit of flavor; I get it.

My plan requires me to avoid liquid calories aside from protein shakes, so I wouldn't be drinking that.  Too many carbs and not nearly enough protein for the calories.

My NUT wasn't concerned with calories or carbs that early out. But fresh pineapple for me would have been a no-no. Any fresh fruit except maybe a banana in my blender. Have you tried the Sugar Free Torani syrup. I love the vanilla and peppermint!

I have been looking for the SF Syrup but can't find it.  I have found SF syrup that you would put on pancakes and agave syrup but no other.

I have found the torani syrup near the coffee and teas.  That's at walmart.  Should be close in the other stores also.  You can always ask a clerk in the store.

Amazon had a 6-pack sampler for $40 and also individual flavors.
