Crystal Light Nutrition Information
Made with sugar substitutes, Crystal Light contains fewer calories than regular soft drinks but isn't calorie free, like many diet sodas. Crystal Light comes in powder form and mixes with water to create a flavored beverage. Several varieties of Crystal Light are available, and nutrition facts vary from product to product.
Crystal Light Classic Nutrition
Crystal Light Classic formulas contain 5 calories per 2-gram serving, which is 1/2 teaspoon mixed with about 8 ounces of water according to taste. These beverages are sugar free and provide zero percent of the recommended daily allowance of fat, carbohydrates or protein. But they're fortified to provide 10 percent of the recommended daily allowance of calcium and 100 percent of the RDA of vitamin C.
