Drink Mix Packets

Sometimes plain water just isn’t cutting it. You want a punchy flavor that gives your taste buds a high five, not something you have to squint to notice. Drink mix packets make that easy. With a quick tear and pour, they turn everyday water into something crisp, bright and worth sipping. Whether you’re hydrating on a hike, powering through a 3 p.m. lull or simply trying to drink more water, they offer an effortless way to make hydration feel more appealing.

Why Drink Mix Packets Are Having A Moment

There’s a reason drink mix packets are showing up everywhere lately. From office desks to gym lockers to glove compartments, people are finding new ways to keep their hydration habits simple and convenient. These little packets are more than just flavor add-ins. They’re quick, portable and a refreshing reminder that staying hydrated doesn’t have to feel like a chore.


What’s driving their popularity? We can think of a couple reasons:

  • Makes Water Taste Better: When your water genuinely tastes good, you’re more likely to drink it. That’s a win for your mood and your hydration.
  • Easy To Take Anywhere: Whether you're packing a lunch or hopping on a flight, these packets fit in pockets, purses and backpacks without taking up much space.
  • Simple Swap: Craving something sweet but don’t want a sugar overload? Many drink mix packets offer flavor without feeling heavy.
  • Gives You Options: From lemony brightness to berry blends, there’s a flavor for different moments and moods.
  • Fits Into Everyday Routines: Morning commutes, mid-afternoon meetings, post-workout cooldowns, you name it. Just add 16 oz. of water, stir and you’re on your way to crisp, crave-worthy sips that you can enjoy all day long.

True Citrus drink mix packets are made to support all of the above. They’re designed to bring more flavor to your water and more ease to your day.

Hydration Drink Packets That Make You Want To Drink More Water

We’ve all been there. A full water bottle on your desk that somehow stays full. The refill you meant to finish but forgot about after three sips. Drinking more water sounds simple, but the follow-through? Not always so easy. That’s where hydration drink packets come in. They give your water a reason to stand out, encouraging you to reach for it again and again.

Hydration You’ll Want To Come Back To

At True Citrus, we believe hydration should be something you look forward to, not just something to check off a list. With zero or low sugar, no artificial sweeteners and 0 to 10 calories per serving, they’re made to support your hydration goals in a way that feels good and tastes even better.

Bright Citrus Flavors That Make Water More Appealing

These are flavors that wake up your water. Think tart lemon that brings a zestfully delicious twist, zippy lime that cuts through the dreaded afternoon slump and orange that feels like summer vacation in your cup. They’re simple to use and even easier to love. No matter if you're stuck at your work desk or running from one errand to the next, our hydration drink packets help make drinking water feel more doable.

Curious About The Citrus Buzz?

You’ve probably heard people talk about lemon water and why they swear by it. If you're wondering what the hype is about, this quick read on the benefits of lemon water covers the basics. And for those of you looking for even more variety, check out our lineup of the best drinks for hydration. You might find a new favorite that keeps your water bottle from being ignored.

Flavored Drink Mix Packets That Taste Like A Treat, Not A Chore

You know that moment when you take a big sip and think, “Oh, that’s good”? That’s the magic of a well-made drink mix packet. It turns water from something you’re forcing yourself to finish into something you genuinely want to drink. A little flavor goes a long way toward making hydration feel rewarding instead of routine.


True Citrus low-sugar lemonade and limeade drink mixes are a perfect example of that balance. These 10-calorie drink mix packets are sweetened with Stevia and a touch of sugar and contain no artificial sweeteners. The flavors are bright and recognizable, not syrupy or overpowering, so they feel refreshing from the first sip to the last.

When you’re craving something fruity, there are plenty of options to match your mood. True Lemon Wildberry Lemonade blends zesty lemon with ripe, garden-fresh berry flavors for a sweet-tart sip that tastes playful without being heavy. True Lemon Peach Lemonade leans smooth and mellow, while True Lemon Raspberry Lemonade adds a slightly tangy twist for a berry-packed delight. If you’re more of a lime fan, options like True Lime Black Cherry Limeade or True Lime Watermelon Limeade bring that same citrus-forward brightness with a different vibe.

Each stick packet mixes easily into 16 oz. of water, making it simple to enjoy a flavorful break during your afternoon slump or anytime plain water isn’t cutting it. Looking to browse what’s available? Our whole lineup of flavored water packets offer plenty of citrusy options that are ready whenever you are. Just pour, mix, sip and smile.

Electrolyte Drink Packets: For The Days When You Need A Little Motivation

Some days ask more of you than others. A packed schedule, a tough workout or an afternoon that just won’t move can leave you feeling low on energy and focus. On days like that, an energy drink mix can offer a simple way to stay hydrated while giving you a gentle lift that fits into your life.


True Lemon Energy drink mixes are designed for those moments. Each stick packet blends bright, citrus-forward flavor with 120 mg of caffeine from green tea and 100% of your daily Vitamin C. The result is a refreshing sip that supports alertness without relying on heavy sugar. It’s energy that feels steady and approachable, not overwhelming.

A standout favorite is True Lemon Energy Strawberry Dragonfruit. The flavor strikes a balance between sweet strawberries and exotic dragonfruit, making it easy to sip whether you’re easing into your morning or pushing through an afternoon lull. With zero calories and no artificial sweeteners, it fits comfortably into routines where you want energy without extra baggage.

Because the mix is powdered and shelf-stable, it’s easy to keep on hand wherever the day takes you. Toss a few packets into your gym bag, desk drawer or car console, then mix one into 16 oz. of water whenever you need a pick-me-up. That means no cans to chill, no measuring and no complicated prep; just add a packet to water and taste a cool, juicy sip for a boost without the caffeine crash.

When hydration and energy work together, staying motivated can feel a little more manageable. True Lemon Energy makes it easier to support both, one thirst-quenching glass at a time.

Instant Drink Mixes That Fit Wherever Life Takes You

Life doesn’t always slow down just because you're thirsty. That’s why instant drink mixes are having a moment. They fit into your routine without asking much from you, except a bottle of water and a quick shake.

Easy To Carry, Easy To Use

True Citrus instant drink mixes come in small, lightweight packets that are easy to toss in your bag, your car console or your work drawer. You don’t need a blender or fancy gear. Just rip, pour and sip. Whether you’re at work, traveling or headed to your next workout class, you’ve got a citrus-forward drink ready to go.

Skip The Overload

Many traditional drinks come packed with sugar, which can make you feel sluggish instead of satisfied. If you’ve ever wondered how sugar plays a role in hydration, here’s a helpful read on does sugar dehydrate you. Our instant mixes are created with low or zero sugar to keep things light and balanced, especially when you're trying to drink more water.

Small Packets, Big Possibilities: How To Use Low-Calorie Drink Packets

Drink mix packets are great for your water bottle, but that’s just the beginning. These small packets can do more than upgrade your daily sip. With a little creativity, you can use them in other ways that fit into your everyday routine. Here are a few tasty ideas to try:

  • Stir Into Recipes: Add True Lemon or True Lime unsweetened packets to marinades, dressings or sauces for a pop of citrus-forward flavor.
  • Boost Your Smoothies: Mix one into your morning smoothie for a quick flavor upgrade without adding extra sugar.
  • Sprinkle Into Yogurt Or Oatmeal: A flavored drink packet can brighten up a bowl of plain yogurt or oatmeal. Start small and adjust to taste.
  • Pour Into Sparkling Water: Craving some fizz? Try mixing a packet into bubbly sparkling water for a refreshing sip that works great as a soda alternative.
  • Keep A Few On Hand For Flavor Emergencies: Whether you're at work, on the road or just craving something different, it helps to have a few drink mix packets in your bag or drawer for easy access.

True Citrus drink mix packets make it easy to get creative without making things complicated. They're a small swap that brings a bright, citrusy lift to your everyday habits.

Frequently Asked Questions About Drink Mix Packets

Drink mix packets are typically made from fruit-based flavoring agents, sweeteners like Stevia and sometimes added vitamins or caffeine, depending on the product. Always check the label for the exact ingredients and nutrition details.

They can be a helpful alternative for people looking to cut back on sugary drinks. While they typically don’t replicate the carbonation or thickness of soda or juice, they offer flavor with fewer calories and less sugar.

Some drink mixes are suitable for kids, especially those that are low in sugar and free from artificial sweeteners or caffeine. It’s best to check serving guidance and choose products specifically labeled as kid-friendly, such as True Lemon Kids.

Yes. Drink mix packets have an expiration date that indicates peak flavor quality. They’re typically still safe to use after that date, but the taste may become less vibrant over time. For example, True Citrus products don’t have an expiration date but use a “best-used-by” date. After this date, our products are still safe to use but start to lose some of their flavor potency. The best-used-by date is stamped on the bottom and is two years from the time the product was produced. (After June 2025, the best-used date is two years from when the product was produced, June 2027.)

Many citrus-based drink mix packets dissolve well in warm or hot water, making them a nice option for tea or warm beverages. Always follow product-specific guidance for best results.

Yes. Some drink mixes are formulated with caffeine and often labeled as energy drink mixes. These should be enjoyed with awareness of your total daily caffeine intake.

Store packets in a cool, dry place away from moisture and direct heat. Because they’re shelf-stable, they’re easy to keep in bags, drawers or pantries.

That depends on the type of fast you follow. Unsweetened or very low-calorie packets may fit into some fasting approaches, while sweetened options may technically break a fast.

Some drink mix packets are gluten-free, but it’s always important to check the label or product page if you have allergies or sensitivities.

Yes. Many people mix them into sparkling water, tea, smoothies or even yogurt, dressings or baked goods for added flavor.
