Soda with Splenda

One of the hardest parts of dieting was the thought of giving up soda. I'm not really a fan of the chemical sugars, such as Aspartame, so I didn't feel comfortable substituting my intake with diet. However, I have recently found a diet soda that fits my needs and wants for carbonated beverages.

Diet Rite offers zero carb, zero calorie, zero caffeine, and zero sodium in a variety of flavors. Cola, Golden Peach, Kiwi Strawberry, Red Raspberry, Black Cherry, Tangerine, White Grape, and their newest flavor to be seen in stores soon, Cherry Cola. The soda is sweetened with Splenda which makes this not only a great soda for people who are dieting, but for diabetics as well. I'm a big fan of the Cola and Tangerine flavors and look forward to trying Cherry Cola.

Through researching for this blog, I found that Diet Cheerwine and Waist Watcher are two other name brands that offer Splenda sweetened sodas with no caffeine. Stores in my area do not carry these brands, so I was unaware of them.

When I'm in the mood for a soda with caffeine, I try to buy Pepsi One. I hear that Diet Coke comes in a "With Splenda" variety, but I have not seen this product in stores in my area. You might be thinking that Diet 7-up is made with Splenda, but it recently has made the switch back to Aspartame, so buyers beware!
