Weight Watchers have obviously identified that there are many people out there who are discouraged from drinking lots of water (as they advise us to do). However some cordials are full of sugar, so how are we to choose one that will not de-rail our ProPoint tracking? I'm guessing that's where Weight Watchers come in!
This 1 litre cordial is 0 ProPoints per 250ml diluted (music to many people's ears) and described as "a premium cordial made with real fruit juice." I find that some cordials taste predominantly of sugar, which for me is off putting because firstly I'm left worrying about the effect on my teeth and secondly about the effect on my ProPoints tracking.
I'm pleased to say that this cordial doesn't have a 'sugary' taste and is very refreshing. An ideal drink for a hot summers day (which is a shame as I'm only trying it for the first time now).
The cordial comes with the following promise; that it is made with Sicilian lemons, is low calorie and has no added sugar; with only naturally occurring sugars. Looking at the nutritional information a 250ml serving (diluted) contains only 3 calories.
I've been staying at my parents' house (whilst my house is being renovated) and they cannot stand their tap water, always opting for sparkling bottled water instead. So I thought I'd try mix the Weight Watchers cordial with the sparkling water (still 0 ProPoints) and I was very impressed with the outcome! What is it about bubbles that makes a drink feel even more special?! The taste is very similar to that of "Shloer White Grape and Elderflower" except the Weight Watchers cordial has a lemon taste, not grape.
I really like the taste of this cordial and both my husband and parents are always reaching for it (hence why the level is so low already!) I will absolutely be purchasing this in the future. It's comforting to know that if I fancy some flavour in my water, then I don't have to worry about the effect on my tracking. The fact that my husband likes it indicates to me that it doesn't taste "low fat" or like a "diet" drink. You could easily serve this up to family and friends and they'd be oblivious to the fact that it is Weight Watchers.
