Its good if its your only option...
Having carbonated beverages sweetened with stevia is definitely a better alternative to the chemicals in artificial sweeteners. Im not too satisfied with their flavours though. Many of them have a soapy taste and make my mouth feel like theres some kind of residue. The only flavours i enjoyed were grape and cream soda.
Sadly, to me most of these beverages taste like cough syrup. I cannot stomach the Cola or the Cherry Cola. The only one I've had that isn't totally awful is the Cream Soda - that flavour I would buy again.
I was so excited to try this beverage after hearing it was 0 calories, 0 sugar, etc. The range of interesting flavors had me curious (Lemon-Lime, Cherry, Ginger Root Beer) and I picked 6 cans up at my local Bulk Barn. For $0.99 a can, I figured it was worth a shot to see if I could find a soda that wasn't bad for me.
Big mistake. These sodas are disgusting. All the flavors I tried were equally as disgusting. There were no "saving graces" in this set. I've done a deeper review below on each flavor. But generally, they leave a weird taste in your mouth (much like a diet soda would, but this is worse) and for the lack of nutrition in these cans, I don't think it's worth it. I'll be sticking with my fruit juices or water additives.
So the flavors I've tried:
Cola - Tastes like your generic diet-pepsi or diet-coke, maybe more watered down. Really strong weird flavor in mouth.
Ginger Root Beer - VERY gingery. But oddly enough still watered down. Not much of a root beer aspect.
Lemon Lime - Tasted okay at first, but once that "odd feeling" gets in your mouth, it all goes downhill. Not bad, but not good.
Ginger Ale - Probably the "best" of the ones I tried. But it tasted like a normal ginger ale, with a bunch of water in it.
Over all, not worth the money, not worth the time. But if you already like diet sodas, they might be worth a shot.
I tried the grape flavour but it wasn't to my liking. Zevia is a great replacement to pop since it has less sugar but it is not for me.
Zevia has been growing in popularity and if you haven’t heard about it yet, you’re definitely going to read about it now.
If you’re a soda junkie like me (terrible, I know), you may be looking for an alternative to help you kick the habit. I don’t know how many people drink diet soda as opposed to regular soda, but I have heard diet is MUCH worse for you (probably because of aspartame and/or Splenda). The flavors for Zevia are hard to describe, but the aftertaste is similar to that of diet soda.
Zevia has ZERO calories and is sweetened with Stevia and Erythritol. [Note: Stevia has been used to help regulate the digestive tract and I have heard it is something to avoid if you have Irritable Bowel Syndrome (IBS).]
Zevia provides an alternatives to the sugar dependent because sugar consumption is related to diabetes and obesity. There’s 39g of sugar in a can of Coca-Cola and 0g sugar in a can of Z-Cola. One can of Coca-Cola contains more sugar than is recommended daily for an adult male. Replacing whatever soda you drink on a regular basis with Zevia saves you that many calories and that many grams of sugar. Zevia has very little sodium and does contain caffeine. Serve it cold and right out of the can for optimal taste.
