What type of cola do you drink? I gave up flavored soda years ago. It’s full of sugar and syrup and such. I don’t drink diet soda because I don’t ingest any type of artificial sweetener. I heard an advertisement recently for a natural type of cola, so I had to try it. Zevia is a natural cola, with no artificial sweeteners.

ZEVIA® Natural Cola stevia supplement is the crowd-pleaser among the ZEVIA® varieties. Its classic cola flavor is rarely found in “natural” soda brands because a traditional cola taste is difficult to perfect without artificial ingredients. It’s even more appetizing when you know that the ingredients in ZEVIA® Natural Cola stevia supplement are absolutely pure and natural. The Zevia team spent extensive time (and drank a lot of colas and “test” product) to make sure this ZEVIA® product would satisfy a cola drinker.

Stevia is an natural herb native to South and Central America. For centuries, native Americans of Paraguay and Brazil called it “sweet leaf” and used it to sweeten native foods. Stevia is used as a food additive in China, Japan, all of South America and elsewhere outside the United States. The extract from the stevia leaf has no calories, no effect on blood sugar levels, and is hundreds of times sweeter than sugar. Stevia is a primary ingredient in all three ZEVIA® carbonated stevia supplements.

So I ordered a case of it. There’s a little bit of caffeine, and no fat or calories. It arrived yesterday, and I tried it out. It’s not bad! If you gave this to someone who had asked for a diet cola, they’d never know the difference.

Even though Wicket had to try to have the last word, and demand his Diet Dr. Pepper, I will stay with the Zevia. All of you should consider switching away from artificial sweeteners, and consider using something more natural. Artificial things are just not good for your body, or your health. If I feel like I need to drink something sweet, I now have something that works for my lifestyle, and tastes good.
