Propel Mandarin Orange Fitness Water with Calcium

By: Tanya Taylor, PhD | Jul 5, 2007

Propel Fitness Water (made by Gatorade) is one of the sweeter flavored waters available on the market. The Mandarin Orange version has an orange kool aid kind of taste going on - it's more like a lightly sweetened orange drink beverage. I don't like flavored waters to be too sweet, and I thought this was on the borderline, but overall I enjoyed it and at would probably buy it again.

Propel Fitness Water with Calcium has only 10 calories per serving. The Mandarin Orange flavor uses sucrose syrup, sucralose (Splenda) and acesulfame K as the sweeteners. The water is also vitamin enhanced. One 8 ounce serving has 4% vitamin B12, 10% calcium,and 25% niacin, vitamin B6 and pantothenic acid.

One of the bottle styles of Propel Fitness Water comes with a sports top which twists to open and close. It's great for transportation, especially during intense activities like trail running, hiking or cycling - no spills with this top. One note - there is a foil seal under the cap, so you have to first remove the cap, remove the seal and then replace the cap.

I also tried the Propel Kiwi Strawberry flavor, which I also liked. One 700 ml bottle is $1.29 at the time of purchase. As sweet as I think Propel Mandarin Orange Fitness Water is, it's a great option for people who would drink more water if there was some flavor to it.
