Made from simple ingredients, the drink crystals come in two new flavor varieties including True Lemon and True Lime with each one being made with non-GMO ingredients. The crystals are intended to be used to create a beverage with plain water or added into other beverages like tea in order to quickly infuse them with a blast of citrus flavor. The True Citrus Drink Mixes contain zero calories and come in individual sachets that are reported by the brand to be equal to a single wedge of the respective lemon or lime citrus fruit. ## Trend Insights (Trend Hunter) - Score: 1.2/10 - Popularity: 5% | Activity: 22% | Freshness: 8% - Audience gender: 50% men, 50% women - Primary generations: Gen Z, Millennial, Gen X - Top markets: North America ## Categories [Trend Hunter](https://www.trendhunter.com/trends) > [Lifestyle](https://www.trendhunter.com/lifestyle) > [Health](https://www.trendhunter.com/health) ## Key Themes ### What's Driving This Trend - **Sugar-free Drink Crystals:** Disruptive innovation opportunity: Develop new drink crystal products that are free of sugar and artificial ingredients. - **Non-gmo Beverage Ingredients:** Disruptive innovation opportunity: Create new beverage ingredients that are made from non-GMO sources. - **Infused Flavor Crystals:** Disruptive innovation opportunity: Invent new flavor crystals that can quickly and easily infuse beverages with various flavors. ### Who This Affects Most - **Beverage Manufacturing:** Disruptive innovation opportunity: Incorporate the use of simple, natural ingredients in the production of beverages to meet the growing demand for healthier options. - **Health and Wellness:** Disruptive innovation opportunity: Develop new products and services to cater to health-conscious consumers who seek sugar-free and non-GMO options in their diet. - **Flavor Enhancement:** Disruptive innovation opportunity: Create innovative methods and technologies to enhance the flavor of beverages without the need for added sugars or artificial ingredients. ## Related on Trend Hunter - [Functional Summertime Drink Mixes](https://www.trendhunter.com/trends/iqmix-iced-tea-lemonade.md) - [Cloudy Canned Lemonades](https://www.trendhunter.com/trends/canned-lemonades.md) - [Asian-Inspired Zero-Sugar Drinks](https://www.trendhunter.com/trends/mizu-lab-electrolyte-mix.md) - [Concentrated Spritz Mixes](https://www.trendhunter.com/trends/spritz-mixes.md) - [Refreshing Free-From Lemonades](https://www.trendhunter.com/trends/azzero.md) - [Lemonade-Flavored Hydration Cubes](https://www.trendhunter.com/trends/pink-lemonade-microdrink.md) - [Zero-Calorie Drink Mixes](https://www.trendhunter.com/trends/zero-calorie-drink-mix.md) - [Lychee-Flavored Electrolyte Mixes](https://www.trendhunter.com/trends/zero-sugar-electrolyte-mix.md) - [Candy-Like Vitamin C Supplements](https://www.trendhunter.com/trends/emergenc-crystals.md)
