pricklee Cactus Water – Tropical Mango + Ginger

I’m in my Spanish learning era and my motivation relies entirely on a drink reward system. When I need a pick me up… fun drink to the rescue! Today’s reward is a prickly pear cactus water drink that advertises the super fruit as the ultimate thirst-quencher. It contains antioxidants, electrolytes, vitamin C, and only 7g of sugar.

I have to concur, the drink is extremely refreshing. It’s light and meant to be drunk chilled. My main knock is that it’s lacking in the flavor department. I get small notes of the mango, ginger, and prickly pear, but I really have to lock in to notice them. What’s interesting is that when I chase a sip with a swig of natural water, the lingering flavors come out. It’s a fun way to enjoy and get even more hydration.

I wouldn’t purchase this again, but I’m open to trying the other flavors in the future. Ultimately, it was the visuals that made me prick(lee) this off the shelf and I’m not mad about it. It’s good enough to last through a study session and keep my dopamine system at bay, so that’s a win. It also felt beneficial drinking it with all of the noted benefits.
