Right off the bat, I am a big fan of these drinks – zero calories and all natural. It just makes sense. Over the years I have curbed soda out of my life and replaced it with sparkling water. However, every now and then I would need a combination of fizz and sugar and would drink a diet soda or another zero calorie option. It definitely satisfied my craving but afterwards I would feel awful – stomach aches, bloating, even the occasional migraine. Most of these problems stem from the artificial sweeteners in these drinks; for me, they are barely worth drinking.
At first I was a little skeptical of the Zevia sodas because of my experience with other zero calorie drinks. Even if my problems with the other sodas were solved due to the natural ingredients, I didn’t believe that it would satisfy my soda cravings.
Boy was I wrong! The Zevia ginger ale soda was absolutely delicious. It tasted exactly like a regular ginger ale soda, but better because I could taste that the natural ingredients. It was refreshing (both in terms of taste and ideology). My craving for a soda was quenched and there were no side-effects – all for zero calories!
I have to say that my favorite flavor is the ginger ale. That’s mostly because I love ginger ale as a regular soda, but it’s also because my family drank the other flavors before I could. Actually, my family loved the soda so much that my mom keeps the Zevia ginger ale in the fridge now.
