Zevia: Nature’s Answer to Diet Soda *GIVEAWAY EXTENDED*

zeviaJust a note…  From now on, I’m going to try to feature healthy snacks, drinks, and eating tips on Fridays!  I’ll focus on items that can be stored & easily prepared in dorm rooms, and try to also keep these ideas low cost.  Why this spotlight on diet?  Because in order to have a healthy body to sport top fashions and glowing skin on which to apply makeup, you’ll need to keep your diet beautiful, too!

I’m not a big soda drinker.  I hate the carbonation, overly sugary taste, and complete waste of calories.  Diet sodas aren’t much better- they contain gross ingredients that aren’t particularly healthy for consumption.  However, Zevia caught my attention when I saw that it was a natural soda…  And that they offered a Black Cherry flavor!  Plus I knew that if I didn’t like it, the boyfriend would guzzle it down.

I had nothing to worry about, though – I love Zevia!  I didn’t have any of the problems I normally do with soda; the carbonation didn’t bother my even slightly, so I didn’t have any chest discomfort from the buildup.  The soda was perfectly sweet–not overwhelming, and it didn’t taste like the sweetness came from chemicals (because it didn’t)!  And as for the calories…  Well, there are none!

About Zevia:

Zevia is made with Stevia, a naturally occurring herb that grows in South America and is cultivated in China.  It contains no calories, but it does provide antioxidants and helps with dental hygiene.

Zevia also contains Erythritol, which is a natural sweetener found in fruits and vegetables.  It is extracted through a natural fermentation process, and it doesn’t cause the same gastrointestinal issues that ingredients in other soda do (which is why I didn’t have any chest pain from the beverage).

Zevia has NO calories, net carbs, or fat!

You can check out more info about Zevia & it’s ingredients here.

Zevia is available in the following flavors:  Root Beer, Twist (lemon/lime), Cola, Orange, Black Cherry, and Ginger Ale.  The Black Cherry & Orange were my favorite- delicious!  I have missed drinking “regular” soda because I really enjoy those two flavors, so I’m excited that I’m able to drink them again without guilt!  I enjoyed the Ginger Ale as well, especially mixed with a little bit of fruit juice.  Cola and Root Beer aren’t flavors I don’t normally enjoy, so I passed them on to the boyfriend who enjoyed them very much- in fact he drank all of the cans within just a few days!  Twist was the only flavor we didn’t enjoy, but I also don’t like Sprite, which I think is comparable in flavor.

BUY IT:  Zevia is available for purchase online– a case of 24 (either single flavor or mixed) is $23.99.  It’s also available in stores (such as Whole Foods, where it’s $0.99 per can; I’ve also seen it at Shaw’s).  You can use their Store Locator tool to find a Zevia retailer closest to you.  Zevia may be a bit pricier than other beverages, but if you’re a serious soda drinker, it’s totally worth it- healthier, no calories, and a great taste!

WIN IT:  The fabulous people at Zevia are providing soda for SIX lucky readers!  The Grand Prize Winner will receive a mixed 24-case of Zevia (like the one I got) and six Runners Up will receive a six pack, containing one of each flavor!  This giveaway will run until October 30th because there was so much focus on our fundraiser, I’ve extended this giveaway an extra week!  You now have until Nov. 8th at 11:59 PM EST.  Please leave a comment for EACH entry that you complete!

Mandatory Entry: Check out Zevia & tell me something you learned AND which flavor you’re most interested in trying!

    I learned: ZEVIAâ„¢ has no effect on blood sugar levels.
    I am most interested in trying: Natural Cola

  8. Lisa says

    I learned that zevia is a natural herb from the rainforest known as “sweet leaf.” I would be most interested in trying cola. Thanks for the gveaway!

  11. Linze says

    I have never heard of this product and was surprised to learn that it’s actually sold in my area.

    I would like to try the Zevia Natural Cola..

  21. Kirsten H. says

    I learned that Zevia is actually sold in my area. And I would love to try the Natural Cola flavor.

  27. Charity S. says

    I would love to try ZEVIAâ„¢ Natural Cola. ZEVIAâ„¢ contains none of the chemically processed artificial sugar substitutes found in diet sodas because it is sweetened with natural stevia. Thanks

  28. Anne G says

    I learned that the Guarani Native Americans of Paraguay and Brazil used stevia as a sweetener in native foods and medicinal teas. The flavor that sounds best is Black Cherry.

  34. Jamaise says

    It has no effect on blood sugar levels – that’s nice I’m hypoglycemic and I crave Pepsi – go figure. I would love to try the cola and see if I could replace Pepsi.

  42. annalene says

    i learned that stevia has no effect on blood sugar levels .. the flavor i like is lemon lime 🙂

  48. Sal Williams says

    That stevia has no sugar substitute chemicals sounds good to me. I’d try the cola or the orange flavors first.
