Default Flavors2go



Has anyone tried Flavors2Go? I just discovered them.

They are 1-oz bottles of concentrated fruit flavor. A few drops in water makes a fruity drink, without carbs, cals or sodium. 16 flavor choices: apple, apricot, blackberry, cherry, grape, pink grapefruit, lemon, lime, mango, passionfruit, peach, pineapple,
raspberry, strawberry, tangerine, and watermelon.

Only sold on a web site: http://www.flavors2go.com

I've tried blackberry, apricot and passionfruit and am ready to order more.

You can use them in whipped cream, marinades, etc, too, according to the web site.

Anyone tried the other flavors? [/url]

Hi,
I just wanted to thank you for introducing me to Falvors2Go! I ordered Raspberry and Peach and I think they are awesome!

With this low carb diet I've been craving fruit. So when I get to craving some I just add a few drops in my water and it's just like eating a fresh peach or a bunch of raspberrys.

I also like to put the peach in my morning vanilla protein drink and it's so yummy.

I just received my order of this product. They do smell deliciously sweet and fruity, but I have to say that it took a whole LOT of drops to just slightly flavor my 44oz mug of ice and water. Also there is an unpleasant bitter aftertaste that I'm not thrilled with. I tried again using a 6 oz coffee mug and got the same results, a vaguely fruity taste with an aftertaste of chemical bitterness.

In fairness the weather is scorching hot out here and it's possible that the package sat in my mailbox all day yesterday when I was out. So if the product is heat damaged, it may have developed bitter flavors. I don't know. I guess I'll check with the company.

What flavor did you get and use? I'm sorry yours had a bitter taste! I love mine but I have only tried the Peach and Raspberry.

I got their 4-pack, which includes passionfruit, strawberry, blackberry and peach. All taste the same, harsh and bitter with an unpleasant chemical aftertaste.

Either I got a bad batch or this stuff didn't react well to being left in my mailbox in the afternoon until I got home from work in the evening. It is a bit on the warm side here in Florida.

I'd sure let the company know, maybe they will try again or send you your money back.

I just did another order, some different flavors, sure hope they are ok!

I just thought of something, I don't put as many drops in my water. I only have a hint of flavor, that's the way I like it. Maybe you could try fewer drops? Just a thought.

I tested the product in quantities ranging from 2 drops in an 8 oz glass to 10 drops. Same results every time, except that the unpleasant, bitter, harsh chemical taste got worse when I added more drops.
