A Shout Out to Zevia!




For decades I have been an avid lover of all things SODA! I could seriously drink you under the table J I lived on it. I totally loved Mt. Dew, Pepsi, and Coke! They were my every day go to drinks.

Finally one day I realized I would never get healthy if I continued down this horrid cycle. I began drinking water by the gallons and occasionally allowed myself a glass of sierra mist or sprite. I deemed these drinks to be nothing more than carbonated water ha-ha. Yet I still longed to drink my bubbly soda and not just the clear kind! One day a facebook friend of mine told me about this healthy soda alternative. I thought it was to good to be true. I mean seriously?! Can soda actually be OK?! She said there was a drink out there called Zevia which used Stevia (yano the sugar stuff). I already used Truvia in my coffee so I thought surely I will like it.

So here I was on a mission to find this natural alternative. I found it alright in a whole foods store 30miles from home. I picked up a cola, grape, and ginger root beer (this one is my favorite so far)! I immediately fell in love with Zevia’s products. My husband however does not share in my love. I think partly because he hadn’t given up the other sodas like I had. Plus I was already use to the taste of Stevia/Truvia.

Zevia was a little on the expensive side at the whole foods store; so I went searching for the companies website to see if they offered any coupons! Not only did I find $1.00 off coupons (that they WILL mail to you if you don’t have a printer), but Zevia found out that I uber loved their products and they sent me a coupon for a FREE six-pack. All I did was tell them how much I loved their products and just a bunch of other questions like do they come in larger quantities and what other flavors did they offer.

I know a lot of people say they resolve to live a healthier lifestyle in the New Year. I just wanted to let you know that there is a healthy option out there for those who eagerly desire to give up soda, but need a little booster along the way. I don’t drink it in excessive amounts, but I do allow myself a treat every now and then.

Here is a little bit of information that I found on the Zevia facebook page.

Zevia was founded in April 23, 2007!  Zevia also believes in smarter soda choices, because it’s time to feel good about what you drink. Always zero calories, no artificial flavors and delicious.
