Bad Craving = NESTEA Iced Tea Bars

July 21, 2009 in Desert, Food, Sweets

Are you seeing a trend here? I think my tea attraction came from the fact that I worked for a tea company (my first real job). I had a nasty craving this evening for something icy..something cold…ice-cream??

I wanted to visit La Casa Gelato, but it was too long a drive to get there…go through a long line up…decide on a flavor from over 200+ and come home.

So I went to Wal-Mart instead….and what did I find?

NESTEA naturally flavoured frozen iced tea bars

Per Bar we’re looking at only 40 cal!

Ingredients: WATER, SUGAR, GLUCOSE, BLACK TEA, CITRIC ACID, GUAR GUM, KARAYA GUM, NATURAL FLAVOUR, COLOUR.

Cost: Approx 6.50 CAD/box

Flavor wise, I’d have to say the flavour is light. I just had the raspberry one and will have a peach one right after I finish typing this.  It’s super refreshing!!
