Lite up your life!

When you go on a do-or-die diet, there are a lot of things you stay away from. You can’t have cake, chips, cookies, candies and ice cream, for instance. You’re also told to avoid sugary drinks, such as soft drinks and fruit juices rich in artificial sugar. But there’s one thing you just can’t seem to give up – iced tea. Especially during muggy afternoons, we can’t think of a cooler idea than to gulp down a refreshing, thirst-quenching and delicious glass of iced tea like Nestea. Admit it, you find this iced tea simply irresis-tea-ble. Don’t you just wish your nutritionist/dietician would allow you to have a glass of iced tea a day? Well, the refreshingly good news is dieticians just might change their minds about iced tea when they learn about Nestea Lite.

Did I just put the word "lite" beside Nestea? Yep, I surely did and that was no mistake. Nestea has come up with a mouthwatering way for all ye health-conscious people to indulge in your favorite iced tea. Let me tell you how guilt-free a glass of iced tea can now be. Nestea Lite has 33 percent less sugar than any other powdered drink. But although Nestea cut back on the sugar, it continues to provide its avid drinkers the world over with the same rich, refreshing taste of the regular Nestea Iced Tea. During its launch recently, I joined fellow iced tea enthusiasts learn more about Nestea Lite over galss after glass of this healthful, wonderful beverage. My personal verdict: Nestea Lite tastes just as delicious as its regular counterpart. In fact, it does not feel like I was being denied of anything at all! For me, lite is more! For customers’ convenience, Nestea Lite is offered in packs of 80 grams, single-serve box and 400 grams.

Eating right and dressing right are fundamentals to feeling good and looking good. Both Nestea and Penshoppe strongly believe in this.
