SodaStream: A Healthier (And Cheaper!) Way to Drink Soda

Happy New Year!  This week I'm going to talk about a product that I received for Christmas that I absolutely love!  It's the SodaStream.  My fiance and I were going to have this on our registry but my mom ended up getting it for us for Christmas instead.  If you're like us and drink a lot of soda, then this is definitely for you!

What SodaStream Is
SodaStream is a home soda maker machine.  SodaStream soda makers are fashionable, fun, sleek and easy to use!  Turn tap water into sparkling water in under 30 seconds, with no clean-up.  Fizz to your taste and add the flavor of your choice to make your favorite drink.  Simple to clean and reuse. 


 

















Why I Like This Product:

 It's healthier!  My fiance and I were limiting our soda consumption because of health reasons.  We didn't like how much sugar we were consuming and how much unnatural sugar.  SodaStream lets you enjoy the great taste of soda while having less Calories, Carbs, Sugar, Sodium, and Caffeine with all their flavors!  They also have totally natural selections as well!


It's convenient!  I was getting tired of constantly going out to get drinks at 7eleven.  We like to vary our drink and hate that 2 liter sodas flatten out so quickly.  With SodaStream, you can have a variety of flavors to make whenever you need it.  And trust me, it's quick and easy to make.  You can even choose how much carbonation you want in it!

All Sodastream sodamix uses a mixture of Splenda® and sugar, with the exception of diet flavors. Diet flavors are sugar-free. Most of our diet flavors are 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).


And . . . It's cheaper!  Since this blog is about saving money, the whole reason I made this post was because it can save you money.  Most SodaStream flavors are $4.99 that makes 12 liters worth of soda.  That's $0.42 a liter!  Yes there's a large initial investment to buy the machine, but it will definitely make up for it in the long run.
