My boys like to drink Capri Sun with their lunches, after school, pretty much any time of the day. I always keep a box of it in the fridge. Now original Capri Sun has 14 flavors with 25% less sugar and no artificial sweeteners. We received three flavors to try, Lemonade, Wild Cherry, and Strawberry Kiwi.
There are 14 flavors that have 25% less sugar:
-Fruit Punch
-Strawberry Kiwi
-Wild Cherry
-Tropical Punch
-Pacific Cooler
-Lemonade
-Mountain Cooler
-Grape
-Strawberry
-Red Berry
-Splash Cooler
-Orange
-Surfer Cooler
-Coastal Cool
You do need to be careful at the store to look for the words “25% Less Sugar” on the package, because other Capri Sun flavors are still made with high fructose corn syrup. There is approximately 28 grams of sugars in regular Capri Sun, and 18 grams in the Less Sugar variety, so if your kids are going to drink it, I definitely recommend the lower sugar flavors.
Plus, my son Nathan said he couldn’t taste the difference at all, and he’s pretty picky about stuff like that. So Capri Sun 25% Less Sugar gets the MomReviews Team’s approval!

Man, I loved capri sun when I was a kid. I would always mess up the straw insertion part though. I think they fixed that issue and I swear it wasn’t user error.
Definitely go with the low sugar variety. Our kids have enough sugar being pumped through their bodies as it is.

My kids love Capri Sun, but I couldn’t deal with all that sugar so I make them drink Juicy Juice.
