Sodastream flavors- OMG!



Recommended Posts

I've been using Mio, Dasani squirt bottles etc to flavor Water, but they were so expensive! I got the idea to use the diet sodastream concentrates to flavor my water. Same concept, but a lot more for your money, plus different flavours typically found at a soda fountain. So now I am drinking diet orange, diet grapefruit (great for Breakfast time- before or after the meal), diet ginger ale (could be good to treat nausea), diet wild strawberry energy, and diet cola. Yummy!!!

How do they taste? I have a friend moving in this fall who owns one and I really want to know if they're any good.

Doesn't sodastream make carbonated beverages?

All the ones I have are calorie free and carb free! That was important to me as on my low carb pre surgery diet I can have max 20 carbs per day. Most importantly, they are delicious! They really taste like the sodas but without the carbonation. You could add carbonation if you want by using club soda or buying the sofastream system, but for the recently sleeved or folks avoiding carbonation, all you have to do is buy the bottles of flavouring and add as much as you want to water! Couldn't be easier!

Yes, they do, but the carbonation comes from the cartridges they sell combined with the machine. The flavourings themselves are NOT carbonated, making them a perfect replacement for folks craving soda flavour, folks just wanting different flavours from Mio, dasani etc, or folks looking for a cheaper alternative or all of the above!

Very yummy! No carbonation if you just add the flavourings to water- no need to buy the machine or the cartridges. Just buy the bottles- Target had a great selection of diet flavours, also try Amazon.com or Bed Bath and Beyond.

How much do you use in a 12oz Water bottle?

I used about 1/2 a tablespoon but like the Mios, Dasani squirt flavours, you can always flavor how you like it- lighter or stronger. You want it to taste like you just opened a can of your favourite soda.

This tip comes at a good time for me. I'm struggling to get down my Water. Sometimes it's hard to drink it plain. Thanks!

      Thank you everyone for your well wishes! I totally forgot I wrote an update here... I'm one week post op today. I gained 15 lbs in water weight overnight because they had to give me tons of fluids to bring my BP up after surgery! I stayed one night in the hospital. Everything has been fine except I seem to have picked up a bug while I was there and I've been running a low grade fever, coughing, and a sore throat. So I've been hydrating well and sleeping a ton. So far the Covid tests are negative.
      I haven't been able to advance my diet past purees. Everything I eat other than tofu makes me choke and feels like trying to swallow rocks. They warned me it would get worse before it gets better, so lets hope this is all normal. I have my follow up on Monday so we'll see. Living on shakes and soup again is not fun. I had enough of them the first time!! LOL

      Still purging all of the larger clothing. This morning, a shirt that I ADORED wearing ended up on top. Hard to let it go, but it was also hard to let go of those habits that also no longer serve my highest good. Onward and upward!

      Well, tomorrow I go in for an impromptu hiatal hernia repair after ending up in the ER over the weekend because I couldn't get food down and water was moving at a trickle... I've been having these symptoms on and off for a few weeks but Sunday was the worst by far and came with chest pain and trouble breathing. The ER PA thinks it is just esophagitis and that the surgeon and radiologist are wrong. But the bariatric surgeon swears it is a hernia, possibly a sliding one based on my symptoms. So he fit me into his schedule this week to repair it! I hope he's right and this sorts it out. He's going to do a scope afterwards to be sure there is nothing wrong with the esophagus. Here's hoping it all goes well!!
