Sugar free soft drinks / mixers with NO ASPARTAME!

 

Hi,

Bit late with this but have you considered making your own ? Sparkling water, lemon juice, perhaps a little citric acid and a sweetener your happy to use
 
Hi my name is Annlouise I am new to the forum but I know that Asda own brand soft drinks don't have aspartame in them and so does co-operative shop they don't use it in their lemonade hope that helps
 
It's all in the name! PLJ = Pure Lemon Juice! It used to be advertised as that many many years ago.
 
I'm with Suby. I also like to add a dash of Angostura bitters, just a few drops. Don't know what goes into it. Someone here will have the answer!

Morrisons due a diet tonic water with out aspartame in.
 
we use fizzy water and Aromhuset - there are about 20 flavours for sale on Amazon. Natural flavours. You only use a couple of drops to flavour an entire glass of water, so the carbs are negligible. No artificial nonsense. Not particularly sweet, but I like that.

The result is like one of those flavoured waters, not like a bottle of pop - but I find those revoltingly sickly nowadays.
 
Sainsbury's do no use Aspartame in any of their own label products, they either use sugar or sucralose, they announced it about 18months ago, as it is my local supermarket it is good for me, though I use Asparteme myself in coffee as it is the only sweetener that has no aftertaste I have found, but I think it is a personal thing as Stevia tastes awful as does saccarin, and sucralose leaves a bitter taste if something is over sweetened
 

Does it have to be fizzy water ,, I like sugar free juices not fizzy stuff which give me wind .
 
You're so right, it IS a personal thing, I find Aspartame disgusting and Stevia revolting, only sugar will do, wonder if that confirms I'm addicted to sugar?
 
All Sainsburrys diet and no added sugar drinks only have sucrose in. I love the no added sugar cranberry or cranberry and raspberry juice
 
Coca-Cola used to be my sweet drink of choice ... of course, that had to change when I started to have kidney stone problems, and right away when my doctor said "Whoa, boy ... ya gotta stop that stuff or I will be seeing you a lot more!". So water became the immediate drink of need. Not much flavour in water! Had to find something else. I lost my craving for soft drinks soon after that (if you have had kidney stones you would know the incentive to change). Well, next comes the diabetes bandwagon - family thing. My mom (90) has it and her father died (55) from it. Water was still a good choice, but so many other things had to disappear from the diet. Hang on, I'm getting to the matter at hand While I am a picky eater, my diet has changed - wasn't easy and I am still an occasional "sinner". Lost 30 lbs - that is on the good side. My thirst quenching still needed a tune-up. Tried this, tried that (don't they make anything without Aspartame?!). Learned quickly about "No sugar added" marketing. None "added", but read the label ... - no sugar added but 8 gms per 100 ml! Eventually, this is what I landed up with and have been using for awhile now to satisfy that age old craving. You mentioned Lemonade. Don't know if this is available outside of Canada or the US. SunRype Slim. http://www.sunrype.ca/products/slim-lemon-drop-lemonade Filtered water, erythritol, lemon pulp, lemon juice concentrate, natural flavour, citric acid, pectin, natural colour, vitamin c, sucralose (36 mg / 250 mL), acesulfame-potassium (19 mg / 250 mL).
 
Just to add for anyone looking for aspartame free tonic water, Lidl's diet tonic doesn't have it. And it's very nice.
