Customer Reviews

NOT Low in Sugar
This product can only claim "low glycemic" because of the 18 grams (!) of Erythritol used... which as far as sugar alcohols go, is slow releasing (hence, low glycemic) and doesn't have the ill-effects of other sugar alcohols. However, that's 18 grams in one little bottle PLUS another 11 grams of sugar - Dextrin is listed on the label (which breaks down into pure glucose, albeit slightly slower than actual glucose).

That's 29 grams of sugar in ONE container! This product is NOT low sugar. It contains 73% of the recommended DAILY intake of sugar for non-diabetics (40g is the recommended intake for ALL sugars). 29 grams is the equivalent of a little over 7 teaspoons of sugar!

If you're trying to lose weight and/or are diabetic, please read labels very carefully. Companies are getting so good at hiding sugars - to the point of labeling something "sugar free" even when it technically isn't.

Tastes sweet and artificial, has preservatives
This wasn't that great a drink for me; I prefer just plain coffee with skim milk. If it helps you to lose some weight for a short period of time, maybe it's useful, if you're an adult. It does contain preservatives (sodium polyphosphates) so please don't treat your kids like dumping grounds by feeding it to them. I do wonder at all these reviews that seem to sound alike & have only this product among their reviews.

Filling, but not so "cafelicious"
First, I will give the product credit for creating a great sense of satiety. It wasn't like I immediately felt full, but that I simply didn't feel hungry for HOURS afterward. So, I would give the product 5 stars for that.

Unfortunately, I found the drink to taste way too sweet and pretty weak on the coffee taste. Perhaps I need to try adding some instant coffee, as I suggested to another reviewer. When/if I do that, I will update my review. In any case, as it is, I would only give this two stars, at most, if it were not so good at staving off hunger.

Bottom line: If you're looking for a substitute for your Starbucks Latte, move on. If you already know you find artificial sweeteners too sweet, you won't like these at all. If taste isn't your primary concern, these could very well be helpful in weight/appetite management.
