Congratulations! Finding healthy alternatives that work for you and including movement and healthy foods are excellent 🎉

Maybe just drink water

@@GOD999MODE I do drink water. More than I drink anything else. But there is such a thing as other cravings. Otherwise you should be telling people to just eat salad.

Yea that's the trick! What some people struggle with is getting the sugar from the right source. Getting your soda fix while getting sugar from fruits is the perfect solution

Hahahaha so glad someone got the reference 😂😂😂

I have been preferring the zevias since making this video. Such a great pop option! Black cherry is top five

I am so happy you found this helpful 💕💕💕

Well you just made my morning 😭💕 let me know if there are other/brands and foods I can deep dive 🎉

@@Nicolehoskens Nicole i was someone that was so addicted to soda i drank just dr pepper from about the age of 15 to 28 very rarely swapping sodas and my need for it was so deep i would drink it at 6 am or 10am or 2 pm or 5 pm or 8 pm or 1 am whenever. i would drink probably close to 100oz per day the sugar version. i would go as far as to take uber rides to gas stations to get there fountain drinks. soda (dr pepper) came before food it was my cigarette. about 13months ago i was pre diabetic weighing over 320 at 5'9 height i cut out the soda completely got rid of 70% of my fast food diet eating lots of low cab/healthy simple easy to prepare foods almonds, turkey, grilled frozen chicken,apples,grapes,carrots,broccoli and of course zevia cola. i never lost 10 pounds in my life until last year i have dropped down to 234 without much exercise. if you have to drink half a gallon of it a day soda is poison 1000 calories probably 500grams of sugar to 0 with zevia. in the last few months i did start drinking more dr pepper but not enough to gain back weight i have balanced it and am trying to kick the recent dr pepper habit. its been on of the best things ive done for myself in my life you pay a $1 a can but its the tax if you have unhealthy addictions

@@brianoleson9224 you should be so proud of yourself! Creating healthy habits and finding balance! This is incredible

You have to! Let me know what flavor you try and your thoughts. I also got my boyf hooked on zevias , his fav are cream soda and grape

You’re the best !!! 💕💕

Shay you made my day! I’m so glad you enjoyed the video 💛 have a fantastic week!

Thank you for watching!!!

Haha I’m glad you enjoyed it! Digestive issues can be very frustrating , hope some things I share can help!

I like ghet gingerale, not overpowering but nothing replace diet soda...I just will go without.

Love the creamy rootbeer!

Hahaha I am going to buy more today too!

Great favorites!

Oh my gosh Denise …. I am going to have to make a float asap ! Let me know your thoughts on the other flavors. My boyfriend lovesssss the grape one …. And it’s starting to grow more on me lol

@@Nicolehoskens I definitely will! I just picked up the Orange and it's good! Definitely helps satisfy the orange soda cravings. All other flavors I wanted to try were out of stock. Hope you like the root beer floats ☺️

I love the root beer one

I think that’s why I like the creamy root beer ! Haha and yea it’s been a great product for me because I was always. Coke Zero girl and now grab one of these when I want some bubbles. Thank you for sharing and watching!!

I have not found them in the store either! Great idea … I will look into finding them 💕

What a compliment ! I lived in Florida for my entire life, but I did just move to the Midwest with my fiancé hahaha

I’m glad it’s helpful!! These are GREAT for mocktails!!

I actually do like the strawberry… I can’t believe I forgot about that flavor ! I haven’t tried any of their summer flavors but thank you for saying all of this … may need to do a part two 😂😂

@@Nicolehoskens Please do give us your grade on the strawberry, how it compares to your other favorites. I'm on the hunt to find some...

OK, I've since found strawberry (pretty good, but interestingly more tart than sweet, the most tart of any of these), fruit punch (OK but not too unique), orange cream (it's in the fridge, haven't tried it yet, expecting something great), cherry cola (was very good), strawberry lemonade (was terrible, I don't know what this is, ugh), fizzy apple (really really good, tastes like lifesavers apple), and 2 teas, peach, and raspberry (both were very watered down, could taste the fruit flavor but not the tea, very weak). Grapefruit citrus is on the other side of town, will get there later. Can't find watermelon or cran-raspberry. The black cherry tastes more like Dr. Pepper than does Dr. Stevia. The cola was only OK. The grape was great !! Orange, ginger ale, cream soda, lemon lime all very good. Mountain, ginger root beer, creamy root beer all good. The only ones I won't buy again are Dr. Stevia and strawberry lemonade. The rest will be in regular rotation !!

​@@F8NcH8NgI get a 24 pack for $24 on Amazon.

I APPRECIATE YOU SO MUCH 🥰

Not yet but I need to!!

Black cherry is a good one! And I agree interesting choice in the rebrand

It’s so good! When I made the video I thought I tasted them all… now there are even more. May need to make a version 2 lol

Thank you for watching! The cream soda is absolutely amazing haha . I have been buying the root beer creamy for months now lol . I agree with you on the other flavors , haven’t really purchased cola in a whileee

Love your favorites! I agree the stevia takes a hot sec to get used to but now I’m obssesed

@@Nicolehoskens I've also since added Mountain Zevia to my list of ones I like.

What are the flavors you didn't like?

Let me know what you think! Congrats on your health journey 💛💛

Jennifer I have not seen these two new flavors …. I’m going to have to look for them asap lol. Those are good favorite flavors !!!

@@Nicolehoskens I haven't seen it in stores. I found it on Amazon. I order it by the case. Kind of risky buying a whole case of a flavor that I've never tried, but it worked out. 😄 The orange cream is one that I will order again, really good. I probably wouldn't get a whole case of the fruit punch again, but I did like it.

🤣🤣

Yess the Costco variety pack is great! My fiancé always buys them now

Great point! Yes lots of different ways people make stevia products. What’s your fav flavor?

Can you recommend a stevia brand?

Yummmm! Just had ginger root beer yesterday!

Love your thoughts! It’s hard for me to buy another one from creamy rootbeer lol. I will buy the variety pack from Costco from time to time

💕💕💕💕 I can thank you for that!!!! And yes!!!! So stinkin good!

@@Nicolehoskens this was all you!!

Can’t do it without kind humans like yourself. Thank you for being you ✨

Something else I meant to mention: The grapefruit soda. Squirt is the only grapefruit citrus soda I remember. I'm not a grapefruit fane but Squirt is pretty good. I think that is what they were going after with their grapefruit/citrus soda.

I never thought about white grape for Mountain Dew…. Going to have to think about it next time! If you are in the US , Amazon usually has great deal for a variety pack. Let me know what you think , if you try any of them! If you like cola you prob will like theirs and my fiancé LOVES the grape soda. I cant stop buying crème soda and creamy rootbeer

@@Nicolehoskens Yes I am in the US and am looking at Zevia on Amazon. I hope to try all the flavors at some point. I was mainly looking at the lemon-lime, grape, or cola for my first try. Unfortunately the variety pack is priced higher right now. The single flavor cases are cheaper right now. I'm also interested in the ginger ale and that ginger root beer variety is very tempting as well. I'll get back to you after I try some.

@@Nicolehoskens I tried my first Zevia soda today. I ended up getting a case (24) of the Cherry Cola from Amazon. The Cherry cola was the best deal the day I ordered and it was one I wanted to try. I think it is pretty good overall. There is a slight aftertaste but I'm sure it's something I'll get used to. All diet pop has some sort of taste you have to get used to. It will be worth it to stay away from aspartame and sugar for me. I also like that zevia has no sodium. I'm hoping to get my hands on a variety pack so I can try many of the flavors I'm interested in.

OH MY GOOD GOLLY! Insane hahahaha it’s like half that over here 🙃🙃🙃 listen I also love a diet soda … Coke Zero cherry fan 🙋‍♀️

@@Nicolehoskens Pepsi Max cherry for me😅

@@kaskovic1993 you have great taste 😂😂

🤣 everything in moderation but who doesn’t enjoy a healthier cocktail

@@Nicolehoskens facts 🤣🤣

I really think either or are about the same. Aspartame just has been around the longest so it is the most tested sugar substitute. It is safe and takes A LOT to have any adverse effects. You more want to make sure you are eating foods throughout the day that don’t need added sugar/sugar substitutes but some everyday is totally ok! Thank you for watching!!!

STEVIA for sure! 👍👍👍 NO to aspartame!!! 👎👎👎

🤣🤣🤣

Yesss! Also taste like Fresca. Pretty great

To be fair …. It’s growing on me and I like it more now lol still that creamy rootbeer is 10

I may by the grape!! I had to order it on line...I don't know where they sell it

You can have allll the lemon limes lol ! Thank you for watching & sharing !

SAME about lemon! I love lemon stuff prob why I was so against it lol

​@Nicolehoskens Back in 2011 Ginger Ale became my favorite soda. I'm actually trying to write a book on how to give a junk food. Back when I turned thirty I certainly become more Health conscious. I was always the guy who would eat plates of junk food every day of his life.And now I don't. I get more active.Also even though I work at a fast food restaurant. But I cut out soda unless it's Zevia.

You are absolutely correct! I can’t believe I forgot about Fresca!

That sounds perfect!

I haven’t seen that research study yet , so can’t speak on it. But thank you for sharing and watching! Happy new year

Oh yea I do love a superrrr strong ginger beverage! I haven’t tried bundaberg … will look for it

@@Nicolehoskens Fever Tree is the "spiciest", is sold as a "mixer". Although the strongest, its the priciest. Bundaberg is a great above-average spice level and best all-around by itself or a mixer. Third place is Canada Dry BOLD. Dont buy REEDS. They sell a "STRONGEST" which is as strong as regular everyday ginger ale.

Canada Dry Zero is the 👌 best! But don't want the aspartame in it

Agreed!

That’s what people keep saying! I will need to try squirt drink ! Thank you

I personally like creamy rootbeer but everyone has diff flavors. The cola taste just like cola

Oh I love a Pepsi max or Coke Zero if zevias are not around! What is your fav flavor?!

@@Nicolehoskens Dr. Zevia and ginger ale for sure! Which is funny because I hate regular Dr peppers 😆

Timothy, solid question! I think one a day is totally fine. What matters more is what you are eating and drinking throughout the day. Making sure y’all are eating more produce, lean meats, healthy fats and drinking water. Lol all the boring but very effective advice. Have your fun drink! I usually have a 3pm zevia lol still LOVING the creamy rootbeer and now a fan of cherry coke! What about y’all?!

@@Nicolehoskens Thank you for the reply! We're in Canada so have limited flavors but we love the rootbeer and cream soda ones as well!😃

@@timbodeno GREAT fav flavors. I had cream soda today lol

Gay 🤮

It tastes like diet Pepsi 🤢

They are too good… the creamy rootbeer is still my absolute fav. What about ?

@@Nicolehoskens id say cream soda, orange, and root bear. got strawberry today and dont like it as much this second time around. going to do virgils next. ive also developed a sort of kambucha addiction or whatever its called ... i walk a lot (30k steps a day) so i'll walk to local grocer and get different drinks different days i love it lol.

🤣🤣 big Nickelodeon kid

That is a WAYYYYY better comparison! Thank you Ulises!!!

@@Nicolehoskens or Fresca!

@@tarabooartarmy3654 I haven’t had a Fresca in YEARS… wow you just unlocked highschool memories 😂😂🥰

Hahahahahahaha I thought about it 😂😂

@@Nicolehoskens Missed opportunity 😂

I need to try the new ones! Which one is your fav ??

Solid choice!

Creamy rootbeer

Yessss after creamy rootbeer the grapefruit citrus is my summer favorite

@@Nicolehoskens I know Fresca very well. When I was a baby my alcoholic dad gave up the booze. His replacement for it was Fresca, so it was always in the fridge growing up! thank you for the video. Always walk by those cans in the store thinking “they can’t be good…” I try to eat and drink healthy but Coke zero is my vice. Tried the Dr Zevia and was surprised at how much I liked it! So I will be trying creamy root beer asap

@@katkerz70 I also love myself a Coke Zero when there is no zevia’s around! Yes try the grapefruit citrus and let me know what you think!!!!

Yea I realized after two weeks hahaha thank you

@@Nicolehoskens You are you!

Yes! Haha that movie is in my brain forever … yet I can’t tell you what I ate for lunch last week

As always Whole Foods and water is ideal yet being realistic finding alternatives to high sugar beverages is going to be best for overall health. As always everything in moderation

Japan has approved Stevia for decades and hasn't sounded the alarm. It's actually the FDA that's been hesistant, despite allowing artificial sweeteners that actually can cause issues.

@@Slavolko Yeah either way I've been guzzling the cola Zevia and lots of other flavoured carbonated waters, so I might be useful to science if I come down with a natural flavour related illness one day.

@@pradeepsinghm I don't drink that much of it, but I'll take my chances with it over artifical sweeteners. I would imagine that at worst, stevia would cause minor problems like stomach biome imbalances, rather than cancer. Regardless of what you drink, keep yourself healthy and it'll do its best for you.

I am not scared by natural flavors. Of course I recommend more Whole Foods but there is no research that shows natural flavors being harmful

This is something I do not know. Most likely a dentist or doctor question :)

Just make sure to use a straw to drink and rinse your mouth out when you are done. I drink these, Spindrift,Poppi, and Olipop, and no teeth erosion.

😂😂😂😂😂 I am incapable of drinking orange soda without thinking about that movie

Tried it...too much after taste 😮

Hahahahah you get it

You should hear me try to sing lololol

They call her Lassie

lol I love a sound effect but thank you for watching!

YASSSS it’s from that show 😂😂😂

Hahahahaah lemon lime I would not recommend

Yessss😂😂 like the colonosopy drink😅

@@colettejaques2559 😂🤣😂🤣🤣 yessss

They are good! I get nervy about giving over an 8. I now a year later drink the orange, creamy rootbeer and dr. Zevia the most now lol . But it changes all the time

It has a strong after taste. 😮😢

Oh I def do not get paid lol. I really like them! I’m now trying to see if there are other healthier sodas that are tasty too!

@@Nicolehoskens i Had 5k Invested in some Shit company instead of Celsius my Investment would of been Worth 110k by now

Totally get your opinion, that’s how I feel about monk fruit Lolol stevia I’m fine with. Thanks for watching!

Thanks for watching and your feedback!
