First All Natural, Zero Calorie Soda Replacement
All natural soda replacements are on the way! Zevia, which uses stevia as a sugar replacement, uses 100% natural flavors. I doubt it will taste exactly like “real” or even diet soda, but it does pose a good alternative to those addicted to the can.
Zevia is being introduced in six flavors: ZEVIA Natural Cola, ZEVIA Natural Orange, ZEVIA Natural Twist, ZEVIA Natural Root Beer, ZEVIA Natural Black Cherry and ZEVIA Natural Ginger Ale.
The ingredient used to replace sugar, stevia, is an herb native to South and Central America. Stevia’s taste has a slower onset than sugar, which may put off some Zevia drinkers. Without actually trying some, it would be hard to say.
You can get Zevia at Whole Foods or many other locations.
Glad to see some soda alternatives out there made from natural substances!
