Zevia: a Stevia-sweetened soda that left me longing for a Diet Coke

Traditional soda is getting all sorts of bad press these days so die-hard soda drinkers like myself are constantly searching for alternatives. I recently tried one I bought at Whole Foods, Zevia, which is sweetened with Stevia, a sweetener positioning itself as natural.

Zevia had an odd flavor to it,

I bought some Zevia cream soda, hoping it might invoke the carmel-flavored cream sodas of my youth but no such luck., Instead it has what seemed an odd taste to me, especially when it wasn’t super-cold after having sat in a glass for a while.

Zevia won’t make me forget Diet Coke despite the bad press it continues to get. I’ve cut way back on my Diet Coke consumption, from more than 100 ounces a day to about 60 ounces a week. I classify Zevia along with another Stevia-sweetened soda I tried last year, Honest Fizz, as something that might be occasionally nice but doesn’t replace the real thing.

  1. Hello John,
    We were excited to see you’d given Zevia a try! Naturally, we’re sorry to see you didn’t love our Cream Soda as much as we do. But, we’d LOVE to share a couple other flavors with you that we think might address your flavor needs! Won’t ya send us an email so we can try to bring you back to the smarter soda revolution? awesome@zevia.com
    Cheers!
