OK you guys...who has tried it and what do you think? I don't like the cran/mango I hope the tropical punch is better since I ordered 5 boxes. What is the best way to prepare it?

[falisamarie]

I LOVE this stuff! I put mine in my little blender and add about 8oz of water and lots of ice and it comes out like a fruit smoothie!

ENJOY

I like it whipped up with Ice as well. I also like it frozen. I have put it in popsicle molds so that I can have a popsicle when my kids get something off of the dreaded ice cream truck!!

I like it a lot. I'm not really a huge fan of tropical punch in general, but when I compare it to the shakes, it is a much better choice for me. In fact, I just ordered ten boxes of it because it's on sale.

I'm going to order some of the mango stuff with my next order (if you still have any left, I would be willing to trade you!). Ideally, I would love to completely eliminate the shakes from my daily routine.

If I could have Hot Cocoa, Tropical Punch, a bar, and two other non-bar products a day, I would love it. I need to start making the muffins more often. I really like them.

I guess I'm the odd ball here...it made me gag so I promptly traded my 6 remaining packs...however, I never tried it with diet sprite/7up...heard that was really good.

Thanks for the response guys. I am wondering...does it actually taste like fruit punch? Does it have the creaminess the cran/mango does? I don't have any cran/mango left. I tried a sample at a TSFL meeting I went to....I am so happy I never ordered it.

I absolutely love both the Tropical Punch & the Cranberry Mango. I love things a little tart and tangy so here's my favorite recipe for the punches and the fruit shakes:

16 oz. of Water
1 Crystal Light to Go Lemonade Packet
1 Tropical Punch, Cranberry Mango Punch, Strawberry Shake or Orange Shake Packet

Place all in a Blender Bottle and shake vigorously until blended. Pour into a tall glass filled with ice and sip through a straw. (Paper umbrella optional) Yummy!!!

I've tried this in a Blender but like it better mixed up in the Blender Bottle. With the hot weather here I have this twice a day.

I've yet to use any Crystal Light, but I may have to give this a shot.

That sounds great Drama Queen. I love Crystal Light lemonade. I'm ordering some punch for sure now. I spend an average of 4-5 hours a week mowing our yard and I've been needing something cold afterwards.

Love the punch with ice and diet Sierra Mist. I add some coconut syrup once in a while when I'm up for a sweet treat. I like Cran Mango best mixed with diet Hansen's Tangerine Lime. When I'm on the run, I mix these drinks into Aquafina citrus-flavored water. I'm gonna get some diet Big Red for the Cran Mango today. I hear it tastes like strawberry...

[Nicole81]

I got my tropical punch and tried it with out any extra add ins and just thought it was ok but then I added in the crystal light pink lemonade and it was SUPERB! Thanks guys!

[Tiolazz]

I mix mine with diet sprite zero, mix it up in my blender, (be careful or you will have a big mess), and then pour over ice.

Don't add the ice first though, or it doesn't mix up all the way and you get these big chunks.... ugggggg

but I love mine...

[just_julie]

Had to update the Diet Big Red comment. I know there are LONG threads about it somewhere, but... It does NOT taste like strawberry. It's a red cream soda that tastes like bubble gum (yuck). I like the cream after taste, but that shocking bubble gum start - ew. IMHO.

I ordered the Tropical Fruit Punch and was really excited but could not even finish the first serving. I will be sending it back to trade in for shakes since those seem to be my favorite these days! I love the banana and the mocha ones! I might try making one this weekend with a diet lemon lime but the creaminess was just yucky to me, no Hawaiian Punch I'll tell you that much!

Yesterday I tried the Tropical punch with with Crystal light lemonade and it was great...A sweet treat! Today I mixed it with the Diet Sprite zero...Wow! Love it! Very refreshing...thanks everyone for all the suggestions!
