Iām Mexican so I loveeee me some aquas frescas! I grew up drinking aquas Fresca allll of the time!!! It was one of my favorite drinks to drink! When I saw Minute Maid started making aqua frescas I knew I had to try them so Iām here to give you my honest opinion.
š§MINUTE MAID AGUAS FRESCAS
- 3 flavors (strawberry, hibiscus, and mango)
- 16 oz can
- 21 g of sugar with 20 g being added sugars
- 90 calories
- 3% juice blend
- Non carbonated
ā¼ļøwarning! If you keep track of the sugars and other nutrients they will get you on the label, the 16oz can has 2 servings in it so make sure youāre doubling everything if you drink the whole can!
š§MY TESTING EXPERIENCE
- I got all three flavors and tried them in the same day. I tasted each flavor from the can and then in a glass. I actually found that I prefer the drink from the glass more. It had a slightly different taste. I would say the drink out of the glass tasted smoother and lighter as well as a little more refreshing.
š§STRAWBERRY
- tastes: strawberry, sweet, very tasty
- Level of sweetness: 10 (this one is the sweetest of all of them!)
- 3% juice blend of apple and strawberry
- My rating: 8 out of 10
I personally LOVE this strawberry flavor the best and it would be a 10 out of 10 but I can only drink half the can at one time because itās so sweet!
š§HIBISCUS
- tastes: hibiscus flowery, light, a little bitter
- Level of sweetness: 4
- 3% juice blend. Hibiscus natural flavor with other natural flavors.
- My rating: 8 out of 10
At first I didnāt like this flavor because it tasted too much like a flower to me but now that I have drunken it a few times itās grown on me. I actually like this one! Itās very light and refreshing!
š§MANGO
- tastes: mango, not too sweet
- Level of sweetness: 5 (perfect amount of sweetness and flavor)
- 3% juice blend of apple and mango
- My rating: 8 out of 10
I would rate this one higher if I was a fan of mango. The mango flavor has the perfect blend of sweetness and flavor! I would highly recommend this flavor if you like mango!
š§PROS OF THE MINUTE MAID AGUAS FRESCAS
- refreshing!!! Especially on a hot summer day
- Tastes amazing
- The perfect amount 16 oz
- Affordable!
š§CONS OF THE MINUTE MAID AGUAS FRESCAS
- high in sugar
- Some of the ingredients arenāt healthy but what really is lol so just drink in moderation.
š§MY THOUGHTS
- for the Aguas frescas the pros definitely out way the cons for me. I will definitely keep drinking these drinks but just once or twice a week. When Iām craving a nice sweet and refreshing drink. And itās even better that theyāre under $2 a can!
š§WHERE TO BUY/PRICE
- Ralphās $1.29
- Walmart $1.28
- Albertsons $2.29
š§Q&A
- whatās the difference between Mexican aqua frescas and minute maidsā?
* authentic Mexican aqua frescas are made with real fruit and barely any added sugars plus they taste better and fresher. The taste of Mexican aqua frescas is lighter and more flavorful because they arenāt as sweet. The Minute Maid Aguas frescas are sweeeeet so you get more of a fake sweet taste.
Overall, I love these Minute Maid aqua frescas! I will continue to drink them but in moderation! Of course I love my authentic Mexican aquas frescas better but these will do because theyāre convenient!
Have you tried these? If so, what are your thoughts?!
