Thirsty Thursday....Diet Sierra Mist

Diet Sierra Mist

Okay folks, those who know me that I simply do not endorse carbonated beverages of any kind. But the other day, Texichick and I were out and about and I needed a drink. The venue did not have plain water! So... I chose the closest thing I could find that came to an all natural drink.

Diet Sierra Mist.

I was pleasantly surprised!

Here's the stats on the 12-oz. can I had:

Calories: 0

Carbs: 0

Fats: 0

Protein: 0

Sodium: 38mg [per 12-oz serving!!!]

The taste was simply fantastic! And although it is carbonated, there was none of that harsh, acidic carbonated burn as is found with many carbonated beverages [those of you with sensitive mouths, like mine, know what I am talking about! Yes... we experience a burning sensation with harsh carbonation!!!]

Being hyper-sensitive to sodium these days, I was pleased to see the extremely low amount of sodium in the drink!

And for those other nasties... well there is a couple... from their website we get the following info:

[per 12-oz. can]

Diet Sierra Mist contains:

0% juices

Potassium: 105mg

Acesulfame Potassium: 32mg

Aspartame: 103mg

Sucralose: 0

All in all, it is a refreshing alternative when water is not available, which is rare these days, but does happen when you are faced merely with a vending machine option!

While I don't recommend it on a regular basis, I do give this drink my...

...thumbs up award!
