Comments: I bought two bottles of FUZE Slenderize from my local Albertson’s for $1.59 (US) each. Each 18.5 oz bottle holds approx. 2 servings, but like most bottled beverages, there didn’t seem to be much point to dividing them up, especially since they’re so low in cals/carbs overall.

The Tangerine Grapefruit was a little disappointing: I like both flavors, but neither really came through…it was mildly sweet (good), but the citrus flavor was weak and underwhelming. The Blueberry Raspberry was better – about the same sweetness level, but with a more pronounced berry flavor.

Each bottle is fortified with a substantial amount of Vitamin C, as well as three nutraceutical compounds frequently found in fat loss supplements: chromium, L-carnitine, and Super Citrimax (a proprietary Garcinia cambogia extract that’s a source of HCA). These are overrated and/or underdosed…so are pretty meaningless if you’re looking for a fat loss boost.

Overall, Fuze Slenderize is a pleasant-tasting, low carb/sugar drink that’s a good source of Vitamin C and chromium – there’s not much more to it than that, but then again, for me, that would be quite good enough…in general, if I wanted to take either Super Citrimax or L-carnitine, there are more reliable and more cost-effective ways to manage that.

  1. I’ve tried all the Fuze slenderize drinks. They’re all fantastic. And, yes, they do suppress the appetite (for me). I’ve lost 10 pounds in the last 6 months. For me, the Pomegranate Acai Berry drink with super citrimax is my most favorite. They vary in price, depending on what store you shop at. But, they’re worth it. I love it!

  3. I am drinking Fuze Slenderize Strawberry Melon as I write this and I have found it to be pretty good. I have the 16oz. bottle and I only have been drinking about half of the bottle a night. I HATE diet pop, but am trying to diet and elimate sugar from my diet. So far I have found this to be VERY helpful. It has vitamins and a fairly decent taste, so now instead of drinking my usual bottle of ginger ale or glass of milk I have been drinking this to have something tasty to satisfy my craving and it seems to be working great!!! I am Very Pleased. It is much better than I expected!!!!
