There\u2019s a new kid in town, and it\u2019s Mango Dragonfruit.

I\u2019m also a big fan of the Strawberry Acai Refresher, but I sometimes feel as though it\u2019s a little too sweet for an afternoon pick-me-up. <\/p>\n<p>Even though there\u2019s only one gram of sugar difference between the two (Mango Dragonfruit has 19 grams for a grande, Strawberry Acai has 20 grams for the same size), I would have put my money on Mango Dragonfruit having much less. I loved not feeling like I was drinking a sugar bomb.<\/p>\n<h3>Conclusion:<\/h3>\n<p>Highly recommend. I now deem this my new favorite Refresher! Just don\u2019t tell Strawberry Acai. We\u2019ll keep it our little secret.<\/p>\n<p><b>Purchased Price:<\/b> $3.75<br \/>\n<b>Size:<\/b> Grande<br \/>\n<b>Rating:<\/b> 9 out of 10<br \/>\n<b>Nutrition Facts:<\/b> (Grande 16 fl. oz.) 90 calories, 0 grams of fat, 0 grams of saturated fat, 0 grams of trans fat, 0 milligrams of cholesterol, 15 milligrams of sodium, 21 grams of carbohydrates, 19 grams of sugars, 0 grams of protein and 44-55 milligrams of caffeine.<\/p>\n","protected":false},"excerpt":{"rendered":"<p>What is it?
