Hello, Lover

I love juice! I love it. Love it, love, love it.

Unfortunately, however, even the "lite" varieties have more calories than I'm really crazy about ingesting in liquid form. And most of them are - at most - 5% actual juice -- and that's if you're lucky! So I had been on a juice hiatus since early June. No fun. No fun a'tall.

BUT.

Last night, I was out buying groceries and stopped to look over all the bajillion varities of on the go packs. I would seriously LOVE to be whoever came up with that idea. Sugar free packet of "mmph" to add to your bottled water. Who wouldn't love it? I think it started with Crystal Lite (the strawberry is like crack, yo). And now Lipton (Mmmm! Honey Lemon Green Tea), Hawaiian Tropic (lemonberry - 'ello!), Kool-Aid, Gatorade Propel . . . they all have their own varities.

And so does Ocean Spray.

And they have . . . wait for it . . .

Cran-Grape!

I could take a bath in Cran-Grape juice (ya know, if it wouldn't dye my skin and leave me looking all purple-y). I effin' love that stuff!

I bought a box of them and added one of the packs to my water this morning. Not quite the same as the sugary stuff, but a hella good substitute. I'm 99% sure that I'm in love!
