Don't want to give up your soda, but could do without the 10-15lbs that soda can add to your waistline each year? You might want to try out Zevia. It's a delicious carbonated soda sweetened with stevia instead of the dangerous high fructose corn syrup or artificial sweeteners like aspartame, Splenda, Nutrisweet, etc. Unlike most sodas and diet drinks, Zevia contains no artificial colors, no sugar substitutes, or preservatives. It has NO CALORIES, no net carbs, little to no sodium (depending on the flavor), and no fat. Tastes like a soda, but no harmful effects...uh, I'll drink to that!!
Zevia comes in the following flavors: Cola, Ginger Root Beer, Black Cherry, Orange, Twist (lemon/lime), Dr, Zevia, Ginger Ale. You can pick up a 6-pack of Zevia at your local health food store. For those wanting a little bit more info on Stevia. Here is the quick and dirty. Stevia is a South American herb that been used as a sweetener for ages. The leaves of this small green plant have a delicious taste that can be 30 times sweeter than sugar. The body does not metabolize the sweet glycosides from the stevia leaf or any of its processed forms...so there is no calories! Stevia doesn't adversely affect blood glucose levels and is safe for diabetics. In the United States, Stevia is sold as a nutritional supplement. Therefore if you want to pick up bottle or packets of Stevia for the house to include in your everyday cooking, check the vitamin aisle at your local grocery store or health food store.
Take good care of yourself.
