HALO Hydration Iced Caramel Latte (6 Sticks)

Ummmm excuse the language and my excitement, however I’m kind of in a state of shock at the difference between my expectations (what is this product?) and reality (I’ll have 2-3 a day please!)So the halo folks have some hydration products. I buy their electrolyte powders (pink lem and peach are my favorites). A friend told me they created a “coffee/latte” - which i couldn’t really comprehend because 1) doesn’t coffee de-hydrate you? (It doesn’t apparently, after i searched online) And 2) like how does one even of that?!So i got my delivery and combined it with 10oz cold water (nothing else, no milk nada) And they say it’s not yet formulated for hot water. I reall Wasn’t sure what to expect - and well…i was basically drinking an iced caramel latte from st*rbu*cks…it tastes just like that. But halo has 1g of sugar and 20 calories (like all stA*rb*cks consumers i pretend their nutritional info isn’t available haha) Interestingly they have the vegan creamer in the packets already (so it saved me a step). I’m also a low sugar nut, so the 1g of sugar is very important to me…Here we go…I can say the taste was amazing, the coffee is the smoother type (not the harsh strong tough to drink type), and i didn’t have any caffeine crash (i wonder if that’s the electrolyte?), the color is a…caramel..color just like one would expect. I drink it first thing in the morning instead of my latte now and also took it with me on a hike (works just fine and there is zero after taste). I like the very portable (sustainable) nature of it also (how many trees or ocean fish have my lattes killed?). What a great aroma - so fresh and caramel (I’ve never thought of buying a drink for its aroma…)If i had one small gripe it would be that i had to stir it really like 6 or 7 times.But ya, i give it an A+ it’s way better than anything else - “hydrating latte” (love it actually - makes me want to have 2). I kind of love paying only $2 for my latte (vs my whole paycheck at myLocal barista haha) and feel like I’m getting coffee , latte and electrolytes (but it taste just like my regular iced latte). I felt good about thatHalo folks: pumpkin spice flavor next pleaee!

So so so yummy...can't be without it now for my coffee. I do mix it with many other things but you can definitely tell the flavor from here much better than the vanilla flavor btw

Won't buy again:1. Artificial taste and after taste. I even tried adding 1/4 of a sache to my coffee but I still tasted it2. Super sweet. Even a little is way too sweet for me3. Better with ice coffee than hot. But still not a good taste for me

They don’t mix very in cold water

If you've ever used a cheap, packaged "cappuccino" mix, you know exactly what this tastes like. Overly sweet but not unpleasant. A bit of a chemical aftertaste from the artificial sweeteners.Given that it's palatable, easily replaces the morning coffee and has the benefit of electrolytes, it would probably become a staple for me if it were priced more reasonably. Given the high price, it'll be an occasional indulgence when I'm dehydrated but still want coffee.Initial review was the caramel. Have tried the vanilla now. They're both quite palatable, but don't believe the "latte" in the label. Imagine a cup of coffee with maybe a tablespoon of milk in it. I'm a latte person, so I have to add some form of creamer.Update: I've been noticing that after drinking the coffee, the electrolytes are all sitting in the bottom of the glass, which means they're not doing any good.

I did not have high hopes about the flavor after reading the reviews… but I will say it tastes amazing! I put it in a half a bottle of water then pored it over ice. Tastes just like my regular iced coffee!

ThisProduct has a nasty artificial taste and it’s non returnable so beware your try one but the rest will go in the trash and you’re out $$

So you can have coffee and get hydrated. Has electrolytes in it and mixes well for a cold coffee on the go and you can put in a water bottle and go!
