You might be surprised to know that I’m as picky about what I drink as I am what I eat. I drink a variety of things, but certain brands of beverages suit my fancy more than others. For example, I’m a Coke drinker. Give me a Coke Classic, Mello Yello or Sprite any day over some of the other brands of pop out there (though I’m a sucker for A&W root beer and I am a major lover or Faygo Red Pop and Orange). I also like certain flavors of smoothies and slushies, certain kinds of juice, and I tend to drink a lot of water – especially carbonated flavor water.

When I heard Taco Bell was offering a new frozen, fruit drink I was curious, but cautious. Taco Bell isn’t exactly known for making delicious, drinking delicacies. As it is, some of its newer food offerings aren’t exactly as good as their television commercials make them out to be. When Ashtyn and her mom wanted to buy the frozen treats I got to try them without having to devote myself towards drinking them if I didn’t like their taste.

The first time we purchased the Fruitista Freeze treats Ashtyn got the Strawberry and her mom got the Mango Strawberry. After one drink of the Strawberry, which I kindly stole from Ashtyn, I was hooked. Bursts of strawberry goodness with chunks of strawberry mixed in make for a delicious and refreshing treat. The strawberry was so good we bought Fruitista Freezes the very next day. This time, Ash bought us one Mango Strawberry and one Strawberry Freeze (while her mom bought a Strawberry). I wasn’t sure how I was going to like the Mango. Surprisingly, it was pretty good.

The Strawberry is by far my favorite, but the Mango Strawberry is delicious if it’s something you’ve purchased. The drinks are perfectly blended. Both of the drinks have real strawberries sprinkled over the top. The juicy strawberries don’t taste frozen, which I hate, so that is a major plus. They actually taste pretty fresh.

With summer approaching, the Fruitista Freeze is going to be the perfect treat to cool things off. The nice thing about these drinks is they aren’t that bad for you. The Strawberry is just 230 calories per drink. It is filled with plenty of iron, calcium and vitamin C. The Mango Strawberry is 250 calories per drink. It is filled with iron, calcium, vitamin C and vitamin A. People who have allergies to strawberries are advised to avoid this since real strawberries are used in these tasty treats.

While this was an unexpected favorite, the Fruitista Freeze is something I’m sure I’ll enjoy all summer long and at $2 per drink it isn’t too expensive it’ll break the bank.
