Yesterday I was a bit “off” and forgot to bring my lunch to work so I resorted to getting some food from the horrid cafeteria we have here. For me, this translated into a soft pretzel, honey mustard sauce, yogurt, and a Tropical Punch Fuze. In case you haven’t had one, Fuze drinks are REALLY good and packed with vitamins and minerals. However there are different types of Fuze and, if you’re doing WW or even just trying to eat more healthy, you may want to be careful of the type of Fuze you select.
I was horrified to discover that the Vitalize Fuze drinks have a whopping 100 calories of almost pure sugar per serving (that’s 200 calories per bottle) making it equal to 4 WW points per bottle! If you choose a Slenderize Fuze, you’re a lot better off. Those come in at only 20 calories per serving (40 calories per bottle) and are billed as “low carb” as well (read: “low sugar”). So WW points per bottle of Slenderize Fuze: 1.
I ended up deciding that the bottle I had gotten was not worth 4 points of my day, so I drank about 1/3 of the bottle and saved the rest for later. Next time I’ll be more careful and will definitely pick up a Slenderize if anything at all. Clearly it’s important to remember to stay away from sugary drinks - even ones that seem “healthy.”


OK, this is ironic. We picked up some Slenderize Fuze while at the store the other day and I was NOT impressed. They are full of artificial sweetner (I could practically smell the chemicals wafting from the lid as I opened it) and tasted horribly sweet. That’s one thing I don’t like about drinks that I buy that sweetened with Splenda or something like that…they sweeten it WAY too much.
Josh liked them though. Of course, Josh will drink Gatorade and Fruit Punch anything and Powerade until he’s blue in the face so I’m not sure that’s much of a boost for Fuze.
I’d rather drink water.
