Subsittue for Diet pop?

mharison

Hi everyone! I'm trying to kick my Diet Pepsi habit, and have been doing pretty well, but seem to be in a slump. It's not the caffeine that I like, but the carbination. I want to avoid anything with asperteme (sp?), and was wondering if you have any suggestions. Thanks!

Club soda. I like it with just a little lemonade in it, but if you don't want the sugar you could leave that out.

I always find iced tea very refreshing, though it is not carbonated.

How much lemonade do you use? What kind of club soda do you buy? I'm thinking maybe I could mix it with green tea?

I like la croix water, too.

Soda water and a little bit of juice or juice concentrate or water with lemon juice are pretty refreshing for me.

Mix sparkling water and 100% juice

Thanks for the suggestions!

Maybe like 2 oz of lemonade to 6-8 oz of club soda. I used to drink it a lot when I was working in a restaurant, we had a soda gun and that was how I avoided drinking the high calorie stuff. I don't think brands of club soda matter much, it's just carbonated water.

There is also flavored, unsweetened seltzer available.  I don't enjoy it, but many of my coworkers do!

I also used to drink diet soda but switched just to sparkling water (mineral or plain).  It definitely quenches my thirst for something carbonated and I can get it at restaurants too.

Steaz tea, it is organic carbonated green tea that is flavored like soda! There are zero calorie versions.

my DH drinks flavored seltzer water. We have a local brand that is not too expensive. No calories, no sugar, no additives.

I drink a lot of water with lime juice.  For a treat, I do club soda with lime juice.  I can hardly stand lemonade or limeade now, since I've gotten so used to having those flavors without sugar!  I like to use the double strength lime juice that is typically sold in the mixed drinks section because it comes in a bigger bottle and I don't need to use as much in each glass.
