Wow, this product was absolutely insane at delivering hydration that makes you feel at your absolute best. I absolutely love the flavor and hearing about Cactus water🌵 makes it so much more intriguing. Love love love the Prickly Pear, which is naturally rich in antioxidants, Electrolytes, Aloe Vera and Monk Fruit. Hands down a fantastic product and I will be ordering come tomorrow for pay day. Can't wait to try all the flavors of this amazing hydration and electrolytes drink. I truly am in shock at how blah and icky I felt, then after using this, I had energy like I was in my 20's and I'm about to be 40 in just 8 days on the 19th. So I am absolutely ordering a big ole box of these in how every many different flavors I can, bc these will now become a staple in my household. One stick a day is super easy to add to my healthy routine and I so can't wait! Thanks so super much for everything Desert Dr!p. God bless your and your families so incredibly much!
I hike a lot and in this heat I need all the electrolytes I can get. This was easy to just pour into my jug of water, shake it up and I had a drink that really quenched my thirst. So much better than just plain old water and left me feeling a whole more hydrated after drinking it!
I drank Desert Drip on the beach in the Cayman Islands and it was perfect. Super refreshing, easy to drink all day, and kept me hydrated. I also didn’t know cactus had health benefits, so that was a cool bonus.
Living in Florida , you really need something to help you recover and quench your thirst and desertdrip has it all!! Delicious taste, wonderful ingredients and gets the job done ✅. Definitely recommend it!
I was very impressed with this product, helps beat the heat and hydrates your body. It's definitely different, has a great taste and for someone like me that works outside everyday it helps keep you going.
I drank this at work in the afternoon,on a very stressful day.The flavor was good,but I did not notice feeling any different than any other beverage,water,
lemonaide,etc. What was I supposed to feel?
I was able to try a sample and I actually really liked it. I had to use way more water than it called for, but once I got the ratio right for me, I really liked the flavor.
I was pleasantly surprised by this! It made me feel hydrated (especially in Texas heat) I wasn’t a huge fan of the original flavor but it wasn’t terrible. I’m excited to try the others!
This mixes easily and thoroughly without clumping or funny pockets of flavor. While it is a great flavor, but not one I'm familiar with, it's a very good one! Not too strong to overpower the "quenchability-factor" cuz I want to still be able to drink down like water! You made a winner, here. Guys!
This cactus water electrolyte mix dissolved easily in icy cold water and has a nice rose tinted color. I enjoyed the cactus flavor overall, but it did taste a little acidic to me. I added some sweetener to this mix which made me love it. I like that this beverage mix is low calorie and contains electrolytes.
I received a free sample of the Desert Drip original Nopal flavored drink and - I will be the first to admit I am ridiculously picky about what I drink - it was awesome! I mixed it up in a glass of cold water, tentatively took a sip (expecting to hand it to my son who is not as picky, to let him have it) - but I ended up just letting him have a sip and I drank the whole thing! I definitely see more of this delicious drink making its way into our house!! Can't wait to try the other flavors, as well.
This is a brand new experience for me so I had no idea what to expect. The powder mixed wonderfully with my water and it tasted so good! When I was done I felt so hydrated and refreshed. Can't wait to order more and live my best life!
The flavor blew me away. Not only did I love it but my 7 and 4 yr old chugged it down. We live in Florida and I can barely get them to drink water. Whole house approved.
You can feel the hydration and I slept better than ever when drinking it at night. Highest sleep score I have had in months. Gym. Beach. Kids. Sleep. Well done.
I've tried a lot of hydration powders, and Desert Drip is hands down the best. Unlike other brands, it isn't overly salty or loaded with an artificial aftertaste. The flavor is smooth, refreshing, and something I actually look forward to every day.
I genuinely notice a difference in how I feel, whether I'm working outside in +100 degree weather, exercising, or just trying to stay hydrated. It mixes easily, tastes great, and keeps me feeling refreshed without all the unnecessary sugar or overpowering saltiness.
After trying Desert Drip, it's hard to go back to anything else. It honestly puts the other hydration brands I've tried to shame. If you're looking for a hydration powder that actually tastes good and delivers, I can't recommend this one enough!
- Just an average Joe who knows what I like, and Desert Drip has earned its permanent spot in my house.
I was hesitant to the cactus but once I received my sample and tried it, I was pleasantly surprised. It definitely tastes better than the other superfood products I have tried.
