I've had the orange, orange/pineapple and the ruby red grapefruit. I water them down too because they are sickening sweet. I thought that after the orange was watered down it reminded me of Tang. But just think if you water it down halfsies then it's half the carbs. hehe!!!
I do have a HUGE question though, I may need to make another thread if I don't get an answer off this reply but I feel kinda weird making a new thread about the same product...but has anyone noticed that on the ingredients on the grapefruit it says maltol? Is that a typo for maltitol? I'm afraid to drink much due to the thought that I could be getting sugar alcohols. It doesn't list SA's under nutrition facts but it does say 2grams for sugars. I've been trying to remember call the company but there's only a website on the container and by the time I go to look it up to get the phone number they're closed because we're in Washington state and they are on the East Coast! Arrgh!!! Annie

The 2g sugars is prob cause the LC juice does contain REAL juice in it. But I guess it depends which kind you get cause the lemonade one only has 2g net while the others have 3-4g net.

Post carb countdown

i purchased the lemonade version because it was fewer net carbs than the others. it was very good but way too sweet for me. i couldn't even drink a regular serving size due to the sweetness. i didn't think about watering it down at the time. i may try it again and water it down a little.

Yeah ebonie watering it down works really well. I found it VERY sweet, even for me. I was honestly shocked (never had that happen before). I just added a couple of tablespoons and it was just as good =)

I agree with you guys on needing to water the juice down. Otherwise it is too sticky sweet and has a weird after taste. I like the diet V-8 Splash better (Tropical blend). It has 3 carbs per 8 ounce serving.
