I suspect that many folks wonder why Flavdrops are a thing, and all I can say is that it is a handy thing for me. I'm yet to try adding Flavdrops to food or cooking, though I don't see why I wouldn't. Instead, I've a small stash of the bottles in my desk drawer at work, and when I fill up my drinking bottle, I pick a flavour. It turns the otherwise humble task of getting water into a more interesting ritual, a micro-moment of excitement, a bit of a decision and more of a break. The result is that I drink more water. This is good for me, meaning I make the dreaded 'snack because I'm bored' or 'snack because I'm stressed' thing less often. Instead, I watch the colours of the Flavdrops swirl into the water. Instead, I get to test a new flavour mix. If you've ever ... MoreI suspect that many folks wonder why Flavdrops are a thing, and all I can say is that it is a handy thing for me.

I myself am not overly fussy with what I add to my coffee or tea and don't mind these flavdrops. But my family have always been opposed to syrups and other flavoured sweeteners, until I ordered one of these little bad boys in vanilla. They now pretty much avoid sugar and just pop a few drops of this in instead with their coffee and even cereal when they want added sweetness. Bad side is the bottle goes much quicker than when it was mainly just me. So far Vanilla and chocolate have been tried, the latter being a bit stronger but that just means add less to me, not quite as much of a hit with the rest of the family, looking forward to trying some others out. Goes Well With: Anything! (But maybe not the more fruity flavours in your coffee unless you feel adventurous)

I've got a whole collection of flavours, and they're all brilliant. I have the Vegan protein pancakes for breakfast which I top with Alpro No Sugar, and the Flavdrops are great for flavouring the yoghurt! Strawberry and raspberry are great. They're also brilliant with unflavoured protein powder of you don't want to commit to a huge bag of one flavour! The hazelnut one is fantastic for iced coffee in the Summer as well! The toffee ones, oddly, are an absolute staple for regular coffee! Tastes exactly like adding brown sugar. I've also used the vanilla one in banana bread instead of sugar as well, and they're awesome. There's no nasty artificial aftertaste with any of the ones I've had! Goes Well With: Yoghurt, protein powder, coffee!
