Zevia Zero Calorie Soda, Rainbow Variety Pack, 12 Ounce Cans (Pack of 24)

Let me start by saying that I haven’t had real soda in over 5 years due to the high sugar content, so my review could be thrown off by my cravings for some soda that tastes like my favorite flavors, vice 50g of sugar. Before quitting soda in its entirety, my favorite flavors were Dr. Pepper, Coca-Cola, and Sprite.I bought the variety pack in an effort to give the fullest review possible for Zevia products! Here are my findings, no flavor left out but starting with my favorites(note: all flavors are the new “clear” versions):Soda like flavors-Ginger Ale: 9/10, great mixer for my favorite cheaper whiskeys, Jameson, Bulliet, etc… It’s a great authentic ginger flavor, as Zevia actually used real ginger and citrus oils so it’s also good on the stomach like real ginger ale. It’s definitely a flavor that I keep on hand for all occasions, get togethers or afternoon refreshment.Dr. Zevia: 10/10, pleasantly surprised! In the past Dr. Pepper was my everyday drinker so letting go of these sugary and carb loaded drinks were depressing to say the least. NOW, the time has come that I discovered my old friend but dressed a little differently in packaging. Absouletly great and similar in flavor to the real thing. Perfect score for me!Cola: 8/10, deliciously refreshing! I’ve noticed a lot of negative feedback on the Cola flavor but I don’t see the problem that others talk about. Bad aftertaste? Have you not realized the aftertaste of real Cola?? It’s the same thing, all soda leaves an aftertaste so get used to this after taste or let your teeth rot and drink your daily intake of sugar in one sitting with Coca-Cola. Now, for me the flavor is spot on and I really enjoy the similar flavors brought out Zevia in the Cola flavor!Ginger Root Beer: 9/10, bubbly than ever but great flavor. This is actually the first Zevia flavor I tried and what turned me on to buying the entire variety pack and trying them all. Flavor is perfect in all aspects, reminds me of drinking A&W Root Beer. Now all flavors of Zevia are quite bubbly bit this flavor in particular felt like it needed to ‘rest’ for a moment before drinking or else it felt like the liquid you sipped up turned into pure bubbles in your mouth! Aftertaste, again you just need to accept that all soda has an aftertaste so if it’s not the same as your normal root beer then continue to rot your brain.Cherry Cola: 9/10, big fan after stepping out of my comfort zone. I haven’t been a big fan of cherry cola, ever, but this flavor enabled me to have a change in heart towards cherry flavored refreshments. NOT overly sweet like the real deal, so this could be a turn off or a turn on. Give it a try and decide for yourself!Mountain Zevia: 9/10, big flavor and right flavor! I really enjoyed this one and believe it relates to Mountain Dew but I actually like it better than what I remember from the actual soda. Flavors of orange, lime, lemon and grapefruit run through my veins with this drink, but wait maybe that’s the caffeine! This one has a nice boost in it for some reason. Maybe have this one like a pre-workout, or before you hit this slopes this winter season.Caffeine Free Cola: 8/10, didn’t taste the difference between the Cola and this caffeine free flavor so that’s a plus! Not much to say here except that its good for that late night craving without the caffeine involved.Cream Soda: 6/10, this one is personal. NOT a cream soda fan so I could barely stomach 3 sips to get the flavor. If you like cream soda then this might be for you!Lemon Lime Twist: 4/10, cleaning product? Very disappointing flavor, especially if this is the Sprite equivalent. I thought I was drinking something from underneath my kitchen sink. Sorry Zevia, better luck next time on this one.Fruity flavors-Grapefruit Citrus: 10/10, my favorite of the fruity’s! I was actually pleasantly surprised by this flavor and would but it over and over again. It is a great mix of grapefruit and lemon lime flavors that meet perfectly in the middle. Not like a juice, not like a soda, but just right! Also, caffeine free!Black Cherry: 8/10: another flavor great flavor! Honestly wasn’t expecting much of this one but it was delicious. A good berry soda without the old normal flavors involved. Again, not juice flavors but soda with strong hints of black cherry. Caffeine free!Orange: 8/10, if you’re a orange soda fan then this flavor is great! Haven’t been an orange soda in the past due to such a thick flavor feeling hitting my taste buds this flavor has just the right amount of flavor and classic soda feeling. Again, caffeine free!Grape: ??/10, Wow couldn’t drink this one to give it a review, but hey it smelled like grape juice! Not a fan, try someone else to get this review.Strawberry: 7/10, strawberry just isn’t a flavor that goes with bubbly soda to me but I could see this being a great mixer with your liquor of choice! OR if you have kids, this could be a great non-sticky fruit drink. Caffeine free!!These are just my opinions and tastebuds so before you let people’s negatives reviews get the best of your “add to cart” click, just think of how many people come on just to complain because they have been drinking real soda “all” of their life. These drinks are by far the closest thing to real soda without the terrible health side effects. I don’t know about you, but these will stay stocked in my fridge!!Note: I still drink these daily so I will check back in to update my review if I have a change in heart.

Zevia Zero ReviewI’ve been trying out Zevia Zero for a few weeks, and here are my thoughts on this zero-calorie soda:1. Flavor and Taste Zevia Zero comes in a variety of flavors, and I sampled the Cola and Ginger Root Beer. The Cola flavor has a distinct stevia aftertaste, which might take some getting used to if you’re accustomed to traditional sodas. However, the Ginger Root Beer was surprisingly good, with a nice balance of spice and sweetness1.2. Ingredients and Health Benefits One of the biggest selling points of Zevia Zero is its clean ingredient list. It contains no artificial sweeteners, colors, or preservatives. Instead, it uses stevia, a natural sweetener, which makes it a healthier alternative to regular sodas that are loaded with sugar and artificial ingredients1. Additionally, it’s free from high fructose corn syrup and calories, making it a great option for those watching their weight1.3. Carbonation and Refreshment The carbonation level in Zevia Zero is just right—it’s fizzy enough to be refreshing but not overly so. It’s a great drink to have on a hot day or after a workout when you need something to quench your thirst without the added calories1.4. Overall Experience While the taste might not be for everyone, especially if you’re not used to stevia, Zevia Zero is a solid choice for those looking to cut down on sugar and artificial ingredients. It’s a healthier alternative to traditional sodas and offers a good variety of flavors to choose from. If you’re on a health kick or just want to try something new, Zevia Zero is worth a shot

Review of each flavor below!I was looking for something to help me break my Dr. Pepper/Mr Pibb habit as I don't want the calories anymore, but I also don't want the artificial sugars (especially aspertame) that is found in all of the diet sodas. Found Zevia and although it has its own taste and is not a great substitute for the cola flavors, I still enjoy it enough to use it as a replacement.I have now had all of the flavors of Zevia except Cola, Mountain Zevia, and the Grapefruit flavors. It's a nice alternative to soda, but does not taste like the regular Pepsi, Coke, or Dr Pepper products I was used to. This is more like a blend of soda and carbonated flavored water with more sweetness. Here's my breakdown of each flavor in order of my favorites:1) Strawberry - not nearly as sweet as Strawberry Crush, which I like as that is much too sweet for me. The flavor is refreshing and not overly bold and tastes more like a soda than the flavored water, so is more of a middle ground between water and soda.2) Black Cherry - tied with Strawberry for my favorite as this is one I don't think I will get sick of. It's also more of a carbonated water, but with much more of the black cherry flavor. Sweeter than the waters, not as sweet as sodas or juiced though.3) Cream Soda - this is the best cream soda I've had. The regular versions are much too sweet for me and I can't finish them, but this had the perfect flavor. Close 3rd.4) Orange - not as sweet or flavorful as Orange Crush, but still very tasty. Reminds me of Hi-C, but carbonated.5) Lemon Lime Twist - very refreshing. Tastes a lot like 7-up. Much better than expected and was very crisp tasting.6) Grape - ok. Not the best, but not bad, although it reminds me a little of the grape Dimetap from my childhood. I think I would have really liked as a kid. The sweetest tasting of all the Zevia flavors in my opinion. Tastes a lot like other grape sodas.7) Dr Zevia - tastes NOTHING like Dr Pepper. Hard to describe, but a much stranger carbonated water taste than soda. I'm not a huge fan, but not so bad as to dump them out (too expensive for that, lol). But more of a last resort.8) Cherry Cola - more cola taste that the Dr. Zevia, but not enjoyable for me. Strange tasting and definitely NOT like any cherry sodas I've had before. Same opinion as Dr Zevia.9) Root Beer - I am not a big fan of this one. Not like A&W at all. Strange tasting and very strong. Leaves a bitter aftertaste too.10) Ginger Ale - this was the worst in my opinion and is undrinkable. I am used to Canada Dry and this tastes like a watered down, horrible imitation of generic ginger ales. They missed the mark with this one for me.I've been able to stay away from regular sodas for over 2 months thanks to the flavors of Zevia I do like, which is an accomplishment since I was at about 3 Dr Peppers or Mr Pibbs a day for years. Disappointed that their Dr Zevia isn't even a close substitute, but at least I found a few flavors that are worth it and satisfy my needs for flavored drinks. Hoping they tweak the other flavors to make them more like the sodas we are used to, but until then, I'll keep buying the Black Cherry, Strawberry, Cream Soda, Orange, and Lemon Lime.
