Club Soda

Members Were Sparked

I have 1/2 cup juice with a full can of club soda in a fancy wine goblet. This way it tastes like a pop and feels like a glass of wine, and I don't feel like i'm missing out on those two things that are too high in sugar.

I do this too! At home I make various "spritzers". My favorite is 2/3 club soda and 1/3 Limeade.

My naturopath prescribed 1 ounce daily of unsweetened cranberry juice for urinary tract infections. it is so sour that it was hard to choke down until I started mixing it with a full can of club soda...now I love the slightly tart taste and it feels like a cocktail!

Just don't forget that fruit juice has almost as much sugar as soda!

I do that too... anytime I go to a restaurant I order soda water with lemon or lime in it. That way I feel like I am having a soda without all the chemicals and sugar. :)

Cut Juice with Water or Club Soda/Seltzer/Sparkling Water

Juice can be high sugars and calories. However, if you cut it with water, it lasts longer, tastes less sweet, but just as satisfying, and keeps those calories in check. Instead of water, use club soda for a great soda substitute! I now only use a splash of juice for flavor.

MORE INFORMATION:
This works for lemonade, or even sodas cut with club soda.

Soda-ish

Though I've pretty much given up on drinking sodas/pop, sometimes there's just this craving for something fizzy with flavor. Rather than grabbing a soda, I have sparkling water (or club soda), and put in about a tbsp of whatever flavoring I want. I use the syrups they have for making coffee with, and there's a wide variety. The sugar free are even better. 0 cals and still delish. Great way to get your soda-fix
