My Review
I was so happy that Zevia sent me some zero calorie soda to try.They sent me the flavors Black Cherry,Root Beer Ginger,lemon lime twist,Cherry Cola, Cream soda and Strawberry. I usually don't like diet drinks because they always have a bad after taste but, I'm still on the lookout for a Zero Calorie drink that I can handle. I tried these and they had that after taste i don't like. The Cream soda, Ginger root beer and cherry cola was the worst but the others were pretty good. My husband tried them as well and he loved them, But he also loves diet drinks his favorite drink is diet coke. So don't think just cause i don't like them that you wont cause if you like diet drinks you will love them!!! My nieces and nephews love sodas but we don't let them have them as often as they want cause they are full of sugar and other bad things. I don't mind at all for my nieces and nephews to drink these they are so much better for them and you! I really think you should give zevia zero calorie soda a shot you may just fall in love!
Product Info
Zevia has 15 flavors all zero calories, sugar free and naturally delicious. Zevia is a team of soda loving people with a passion for making smarter choices a little easier. Many of us here are moms and dads who simply can’t ignore so many precious reasons to offer a better alternative, both for the well-being of ourselves and our next generation. Sweet treats will always enter our periphery and offer temptation, but we want to take the four letter word out of soda. Join us in raising a can, and the awareness, that it’s time for smarter choices. Our team of soda lovers have always been focused on making a delicious, zero calorie soda with no artificial sweeteners. But our commitment didn’t stop there. This passionate, pop guzzling team knew that we could kick it up a notch, and guess what, we did!
With a commitment to continuous improvement and natural sweetener innovation, we have now “cracked the code” on something really special. SweetSmart, our next generation sweetening system, is a blend of high purity Stevia combined with Monk Fruit and Erythritol. Most importantly, it still holds true to all Zevia stands for – delicious, zero calorie and naturally sweetened!
Stevia
This plant based sweetener, originally native to South America, has leaves 200x sweeter than sugar and no caloric value or effect on blood glucose levels! In fact, all of Zevia’s Stevia comes from 100% US crop!
Monk Fruit
Monk fruit is a round, green fruit grown on lush vines in small farms in the sub-tropical climate of Asian hillsides. Harvested by hand to release its natural sweetness, Monk Fruit is 200 to 300 times sweetener than sugar but contains no calories or effect on blood glucose levels.
Erythritol
Erythritol is a natural component of fruits, vegetables and grains, and is classified as a sugar alcohol, even though it is neither sugar nor alcohol. It is obtained through a natural fermentation process, much like that of yogurt and has absolutely no calories and a zero glycemic index.
WHY DO WE DO WHAT WE DO?
We’re all soda loving people at Zevia. We grew up with classic soda flavors, and turned away from them for health reasons. So making naturally delicious, healthier versions of the familiar favorites we grew up with, without sugar, just seemed smarter. In fact, Zevia is just that, the smarter soda.
For me, the Zevia story started with my conversion from a “sugar junkie” to a stevia fan. About 12 years ago, I quit sugar cold turkey in an effort to upgrade my health. I thought I was a health-conscious person – I exercised frequently, consumed meat in moderation, and used natural and organic products whenever possible. But when I really looked at my diet, I found I was consuming up to 250 grams of sugar per day, between protein shakes, energy bars, juice-based spritzers and other foods and beverages. That’s about 1,000 calories a day, just from sugars.
My wife and I decided we needed to make a change. We began using stevia as a sweetener, and to this day, my family uses only stevia in our household. Stevia has given us an alternative without negative side effects, and has kept us from feeling deprived in our sugar-free lifestyle. It’s had a tremendous impact on how we feel every day, and I’m confident it’s benefitting our long-term health.
THE “SUGAR EPIDEMIC”
When we look at the major health problems confronting not just our country, but the entire world, two of the largest, obesity and diabetes, have direct links to sugar.
It’s shocking, but in the US, 27% of the adult population is obese, and even worse, 17% of kids 2-19 years old. In addition, 25 million Americans have diabetes, with another 79 million being classified as pre-diabetic. Simply put, sugar is killing us.
We hear a lot about “better for you” sweeteners, whether it’s honey, fruit juice, or agave. At the end of the day, your body can’t tell the difference – they’re all sugar. They may be metabolized slightly differently, but they all have calories, and all contribute to obesity, diabetes and other health problems.
And frankly, for a lot of people, artificial sweeteners just aren’t a good alternative. In a recent study, 64% of those surveyed said they were concerned about the safety of artificial sweeteners, and I’m certainly among that group.
At Zevia, we feel it’s not just our business, it’s our responsibility to tell people that there’s a better way. We’re passionate about stevia, and if we can make the soda category– and the world – better with our product, that’s a very meaningful contribution.
WHAT’S DIFFERENT ABOUT ZEVIA?
With natural products, being healthy isn’t enough – a product has to taste great, and also be healthy, to really be a compelling alternative. At Zevia, we really believe that we’ve created a better soda.
And we’re fortunate that our fans are vocal. Every day, we receive letters, emails and calls from folks who have just discovered Zevia, and are thrilled to have a product they can feel good about consuming every day.
One of the most fun things about working at Zevia is sharing our products with people who used to drink soda and stopped, or in some cases always avoided soda for health reasons. Kids are the most fun of all – we meet lots of kids who’ve never had soda in their lives, because it was banned in their household, and to watch their faces when they try Zevia for the first time is priceless.
Similarly, people with diabetes, people seeking to lose weight or control their weight, or people who just want to live a healthier life really light up when they discover our product.
We don’t think that soda should be a “four-letter word,” and we’re out to change the way people think about soda by providing a healthy option that tastes great.
Product Info
In 2007, amidst the rainy backdrop of Seattle, Zevia Zero Calorie Soda was born. Sharing our first flavors, naturally sweetened Cola, Lemon Lime Twist andOrange soda with the world became our mission, and we were welcomed with open arms; the good soda love was spreading as people made it clear they were ready for smarter choices. Zevia was embraced by people all around the world but none we knew better than our fans in the Pacific Northwest, as it was home. However, cold soda & hot sun seemed like a perfect fit so we up and moved to Los Angeles! Southern California became our new home, but a big part of our heart is still in Seattle. Our family of soda loving people has grown right along with the world’s passion for Zevia. So what to do when you have more Z team members? Make more soda, of course! While our team has almost doubled in the last year, so has our commitment to our incredibly loyal and vocal customers. For us, this means listening to the most important people to our company – you! In early 2013, we heard you loud and clear, and the call for glass bottles was answered with great enthusiasm! Cherry Cola, Cola, Cream Soda, Ginger Ale, Grape andGinger Root Beer can now be enjoyed in a classic glass bottle, in addition to cans. Our momentum hasn’t slowed. In fact, 2013 has been our biggest year yet! In the second quarter of 2013, we broke our own records, selling an astonishing 17 million cans throughout April, May and June! That’s a lot of soda, and tons of sugar grams avoided! What’s more, we were ranked 17th amongst 20 diet soda brands and were the only independent brand among them! You might say 17 is our new lucky number! With a commitment to continuous improvement and natural sweetener innovation, we have now “cracked the code” on something truly special! We've added Monk Fruit to our sodas to make them even better tasting! We call this winning combination of natural sweeteners, SweetSmart. While Stevia still provides most of the sweetness you taste in Zevia, the addition of Monk Fruit to our existing formulas complements our Stevia and enhances our soda’s overall sweetness while reducing any of that Stevia aftertaste you may have noticed before. Still zero calories and zero glycemic index, just a little smarter! Make the jump to read more about SweetSmart, you smarty pants...Our little family of 15 flavors has grown as time has flown by. So what’s next? As more and more soda drinkers smarten up to the dangers of artificial sweeteners and sugar, Zevia becomes increasingly sought after. Stay tuned as the wave of good soda love makes its way to Europe, Central and South America, Australia and beyond!
