bai Costa Rica Clementine, 18 Fl Oz Bottle

However, when Amazon informed me that the subscription and save price was going from approximately $18 to $32, I couldn't cancel fast enough.

Bought this on a whim, on sale. I like having a variety of beverages in our extra fridge, and so when I see something that sounds good and is reasonably priced I will just go and and pick it up. I like the flavor. It is light, refreshing, not too sweet. Nice drink to grab on the go, or pour into a cup, load with ice, and go sit outside with. If I dont want to use it all at once, then I can take what I want, cap it off, and put back in fridge. I also have used it to add a little flavor essence to water. I like my water plain, but sometimes a little added flavor is nice too. Options!

This is a often requested in our home, variety pack of Bai drinks. This pack has flavors my teenager enjoys and requests daily in linch for school. The bottle shape is narrow enough to slips into a side drink holder of a backpack and stays in well. It also fits in drink mesh holder on outside on lunch boxes for bento boxes.After the pandemic, the prices of Bai drinks sky rocketed. They are currently $2.25 at most grocery stores. Purchasing them on Amazon has saved me a lot of money. I recommend doing the subscribe and save with multiple items to receive the additional % discount of 5-15% off. I have this 12 pack on a rotation with other items and I am receiving the 15% off. This reduces the cost to around $1.50 per drink or less depending on current price. This is a BIG discount compared to the grocery store price. It is even beating Sam Club and Costco at this time. Bai drinks are pricey ones imo and Amazon deals have made this a good buy at this time.My autistic teenager does not like carbonate beverages and he really enjoys this brand. The sugar is low to none depending on flavor, and compared to other drinks especially soda. This was a good choice for our growing teenager, helps keep healthy skin with lower sugar grams, and the lack of carbonation doesn’t effect his sensory conditions. This is one product that we would like to continue to buy and will depending on the price. 5 stars on flavor, bottle shape, health factor, satisfying feeling after drinking it. One star less on price/value as it was $1.15 before Pandemic.

These are wonderful taste and a value

I've only tried the Clementine flavor so far, but I'm pleasantly surprised. It tastes pretty mellow, smooth and fruity. Very refreshing..But there's one problem. It's definitely overly sweetened. They use substitutes of sugar, which allows them to say it has barely any sugar in it. Which makes people want to drink it more....It's a shame.This company had a chance to create a phenomenal, healthy, natural and tasty drink... but it's really really sweet, from the different sweeteners like stevia, that they added.That's why I can't stand so many popular American foods and drinks. There is so much unnecessary sugar, salt, seasoning, flavoring, etc. in everything.It's no mystery why we are the most obese and unhealthy country in the world. We place so much emphasis on having a delicious flavor, and less on the healthy aspects that our bodies crave. I know companies need to make money, and also be desirable to different groups of people. But it's a bit like selling out as well.Bai is a really good product, overall. But the fact that the sweetener is stuck in my throat for long after I drink it, is not gaining it any points.Yes, I realize your drink wouldn't be as tasty without anything to sweeten it up.But you went a little overboard. Our country is already totally abusing sweets and salt and desserts and dressings and sauces, and all of that extra junk that compiles into the beginnings of disease.But with Bai, the ingredients are completely special and more natural. And that's what I love...I just want to let it be known, that this drink can still be wonderful, with less sweeteners used. Seriously. I know our country relies too much on heavy and bold flavors. I know that obese people will still like your drink.But for the health-conscious smart ones, looking for actually healthy and decent drinks and food, the options become more limited to us.It's too often, no flavor, or way too much flavor.I wish you guys had chosen more in the middle of that choice. Perhaps your taste testers are from a particular area.... oh my god. This is made right next to me. Like 15-20 minutes away. Aw. Well nevermind.Many people will love, and DO love this tasty drink filled with natural caffeine, tea, and fruit juice concentrate. I'm a brand new fan. For sure.But this drink would be absolutely perfect with a slightly milder flavor.My throat still tastes sweet right now. That just isn't natural.I think as humans, we all have to step back and see what we are truly putting into our bodies. I've gone to restaurants where none of my friends and I could eat our meals. They were intensely over-salted, and it was a complete waste of decent food. It was shocking. Why? Why is that necessary?I just don't get it. People can salt and season food as they like. But once it arrives unpalatable, there isn't much choice.I don't think we need extra encouragement to eat foods that are overly seasoned!It was a big contributing factor to my dad's cancer- steaks and other such meats, and an average addiction to heavily salted and sweetened foods. He was totally healthy 1 year. Then an exact year later, he had Stage 3 colon cancer. How could it get that far so fast? Without any signs?!He had been accompanying a diabetic friend to many restaurants. His friend's health was totally deteriorating, including his eyesight, from the diabetes and the stuff he ate. He was a strange guy, a loner, who spoke little English, without any women or family or friends in his life.Therefore, he would invite my dad out to nice dinners and meals, on his dime, just for the company.....Who could really say no?My dad and him constantly went out, drank beer and wine, and ate steaks. Especially cooked in a restaurant, that's asking for trouble.It just amazes me that the option of eating big, grand meals equals totally forgetting about your body and health.They were best friends.But of course my dad 's friend died from his sad lifestyle and lack of care in his own health. He was sick and just too unaware or uncaring to try to live a somewhat healthy lifestyle.Then, my dad immediately was found to be very sick, and most of his intestine was removed, on top of chemotherapy.He is also too unaware and uncaring to prevent himself from falling backwards. Even after such a horrific experience....I just wanted to explain some of the dangers of carelessly putting junk in our bodies....There are a couple different tea companies I love. Both offer great teas with no sugar.. (but of course, this is the U.S. so they HAVE to make nasty sugar drinks for people.)One is a famous Japanese company, who makes refreshing, pure, bottled natural teas. They literally use- Pure Green tea, real rose petals, and vitamin C as their only ingredients in ny favorite flavor... That kind of drink makes me really motivated, and it feels good to drink such a delicious and healthy drink without any worries.I don't have to count calories(i never did), or worry about my sugar or STEVIA & ERYTHRITOL intake. I can drink, knowing I'm feeding my body nothing but pure goodness and nutrition.Those drinks cost a bit more, like about $1.20- $1.40 per bottle I think. But they have the large bottles also. I am willing to spend a hit more to live a healthier, cleaner life. I'm already sick with chronic illness. I have no choice but to focus on my health.My throat STILL tastes sweet at this moment... it's been over a half hour since my last sip. SORRY Bai, but your drink is too sweet. You didn't have to go there at all. This natural juice flavor is delicious already.The only thing stopping it from being my favorite new drink is the super sugary taste. Which sucks. But it could be worse.I hope to find more companies like this, but who are even more dedicated to healthy, subtle, naturally balanced drinks, that encourage milder tastes.This is just a little too much cavity to ignore. No matter how natural you may claim it is. It just shouldn't be anywhere near the vicinity of the sweetness of Gatorade.Luckily this flavor is a lot more delicate than that, but still.Regardless, I'm a new fan. I DO really like this drink. It's certainly better than most drinks on the market today.Hopefully in the future, the company can make even less sweetened healthy drinks. Then, I'd be willing to even advertise for you guys. For real. It's all fun and all good until you get sick. No one ever thinks they will.DRINK BAI! IT'S FRIGGIN GOOD!

The plain coconut ones are a littl cloyingly sweet, but the ones with pineapple and mango, cold out of the refridgerator are very refreshing. I'm on my third case...great for summer, not sure if I'd continue into cold weather

these are quite delicious

I tried this once and now I cannot live without this... seriously. My husband found this first at Costco - and that was it. They no longer carry but thankfully Amazon does and I subscribe a few cases monthly. When I run out, I go stir crazy. The drink is crisp, sweet, clean, uplifting - good. I can have my morning coffee and then drink this in the afternoon - love love love it. I tried to get my mom on it but she thinks it has a weird aftertaste so everyone is different. My husband likes it better than Vitamin Water so he's good with ordering by the case. I like the clean aspect, no chemicals route if I am going to drink something other than water or coffee. It's expensive but it seems to quench my thirst and keep my appetite satisfied - maybe its the artificial sweetener that does that. I love it. Keep it coming Amazon. And thanks Bai5 for a great drink - it's a keeper in my house. Clementine is my favorite flavor, I order that flavor soley now. I don't care for the blueberry one - it's too sweet for me and don't like Mango... so I stick to Clementine and Dragonfruit.
