I was recently sent a Soda Stream to try and review. I was so excited when it got here! It is an interesting and awesome little machine! If you are a big pop drinker, this might be something to look into. Check this out…
There is a CO2 bottle in this machine that puts the carbonation into the tap water. So you take one of the two bottles they give you and fill it with really cold tap water. Then you add carbonation.
Then you add a little less than a cap full of flavor – whatever flavor you choose. This time we tried the pink grapefruit.
The flavor comes in a bottle similar to this. It looks like a mini laundry detergent bottle. 🙂
A little information from their website:
How does SodaStream nutrition stack up against national brands?
With a SodaStream home soda maker and over 30 delicious regular, diet and caffeine-free sodamix flavors to choose from, you’ll enjoy freshly made, great tasting soda that fits your health and diet. Regular flavors contain no high-fructose corn syrup, and diet flavors are sweetened with Splenda® brand sweetener, not aspartame.

All SodaStream regular sodamix uses a mixture of Splenda® and sugar. Diet flavors are sugar-free, sweetened with Splenda® brand sweetener. Comparison is based on 8 fl. oz. serving size (0.34 fl. oz. of SodaStream sodamix per 8 fl. oz. of water).
Here are a few of the flavors we were sent to try. So far we have tried, lemon-lime, diet cola, diet grapefruit, energy(which tastes just like Red Bull – SICK!!) and cran-raspberry.
Here are Christian and Ellie with the Soda Stream. They loved it! I wouldn’t be surprised if they already have one ordered now! 🙂
Thanks Soda Stream! We are excited to keep making fun drinks!
Interesting. I have never heard of this.
I love my soda stream! I make several bottles of seltzer a day!
very cool! I have seen machines in stores that carbonize water (mom, if you’re reading this, I want one!), but I have never seen this before! What is the cost of a machine?
I missed your blog!! Looks like all is well and you have been doing some awesome cooking! Ive heard of the Soda Stream – looks like you have a lot of flavors to try!! Enjoy! 🙂
i read somewhere on the internet that long term consumption of Aspartame is not really good for the health. ‘~-
