I tried the low-calorie Propel Fit Powder Water Beverage Mix by accident. Recently the local Wal-mart had raised their regularly low prices on bottles of Propel Fitness water to match those of the local grocery store. Instead of purchasing the normal six-pack or 12-pack of Propel Fitness water, I opted instead for a box of individual packets of Gatorade's Propel Fit Powder Water Beverage Mix.

I was apprehensive at first, because low-calorie powdered drinks do not normally match the flavor of pre-made beverages. I was happy that the Gatorade's Propel Fit Powder Water Beverage Mix matched the pre-made beverage flavor so well.

Low-Calorie Drinks, Propel and Artificial Sweeteners

The one beverage that I like to drink which contains artificial sweeteners is Propel. Normally I try to avoid certain artificial sweeteners.

This low-calorie sports drink contains both sucralose and acesulfame potassium, in addition to regular sugar, or sucrose.

Sports Water with a Vitamin B Boost

Propel Fit Powder Water Beverage Mix gives you a Vitamin B boost. It contains 25 of the Percent Daily Value* of Vitamin B6 and four percent of the PDV of Vitamin B12. It also contains 25 of the PDV of Niacin (B3). Plus it has 25 of the PDV of Pantothenic Acid (Vitamin B6). Vitamin B is important for metabolism support and maintaining muscle.

Women who suffer from PMS are sometimes advised to increase their intake of "B" vitamins because of their ability to decrease stress as well as depression.

*Percent Daily Value is based on a standard 2,000 calorie diet. The percentage of vitamins you are consuming will be based on your personal overall caloric intake.

Nutritional Data of theLow-Calorie Sports Drink

One serving of Propel Fit Powder Water Beverage Mix (half a packet) is 10 calories. There is no fat of any kind in the is sport water. There are 30mg of sodium. Even the carbohydrates are low, at 3 grams of carbohydrate per serving. Two of those three grams are in the form of sugars. Diabetics should be aware that this sports water is not completely sugar-free.

Crutnacker - I thought they were too, but then they dipped back down. It used to be that I knew I could get a cheaper price at Wal-mart, but now that is not always the case. Our local grocery stores have all increased prices, too. Big Y re-did all of their frozen food prices recently and their dairy prices are out of control.

interesting... i have tried the pre-made propel, but not the powder. maybe i will now.. i'm trying to cut back on diet coke and sometimes i just need something that's more flavorful than water.

You bring up something interesting here, unrelated to the article. Has anyone noticed Wal-Mart's grocery prices are going through the roof?

Great review. I've never tried this.

Glad to know it doesn't taste funny! Gatorade in general is okay, but Powerade is GROSS! So, this is good to know, even though I don't really drink it much at all. I drink water and soft drinks mainly.

Very good review. I was waiting for a family memeber to try it first. Now I have several peoples opinions and may just have to give it a try myself. I've found artificial sweeteners were a cause of my migraines. I will have to try and see.

Thanks, Linda. I think either you love it or you hate it. ;-)

It was probably the artificial sweeteners, Charlie. For some reason they don't seem to bother me in the beverage.

Not keen on this one myself, but good review of it.

This stuff actually upset my stomach, but then I have a queasy one.
