While I’ve always liked carbonated drinks, my favorite ones have been colas. I’m a big fan of anything that tastes like cola, and I really enjoy this sweet liquid treat.

I love the feeling of a cold bottle of soda going down my throat and I know that it’s unhealthy, but sometimes I just can’t help myself. I’m turning 40 this year and I’ve decided that I need to cut back on drinks like these, which is exactly what I plan to do.

Diet soda is an alternative since it doesn’t have as many calories, but there are artificial ingredients built into it that simply can’t be good for you. Besides, it really doesn’t taste as good as the real thing.

Then there’s something like seltzer. It’s bubbly, there are no sugars or added calories, and it’s genuinely healthy. It’s just like drinking water. Problem is, it’s boring to me. I have a hard time taking it down whatsoever.

The best replacement I’ve found for soda is something that I really enjoy the taste of. Not only that, but it’s completely healthy. It’s as healthy as eating a fruit itself, as hard as that may sound to believe.

While there may be a number of options in this drink genre, the best two that I’ve had are made by Fizzy Lizzy, and Izze, both of them with a nice variety of interesting fruit flavors. It’s hard to say which is better because they’re both great.

Both of these companies have pure carbonated juice blends that really do taste as if they’re real sodas. With no added sugars of any kind, these are really like drinking a glass of fruit juice with some seltzer thrown into the mix.

If you want to kick your soda habit too, I’d say that looking into these options would be a huge step in the right direction. Give them a shot next time you’re craving a soda. I think you’ll be pleasantly surprised.
