180 sharesSparkling ICE is a carbonated, flavored water that has grown in popularity and flavors over the last several years. We share our opinion on how healthy Sparkling Ice is and outline the ingredients. We’ll also share a few other drink options you’ll fall in love with below!PsstFor a Limited Time Grab Our!We started drinking Sparkling Ice about 6 years ago when a family member told us about them. At that time, my mom and I both were drinking about 2 16oz Diet Cokes or Diet Mt. It was such a bad habit, and we were pretty dependent on them if I’m being 100% honest.I tell you this not just to tattle on myself or my mom.But rather because some of the articles online about Sparkling Ice seem pretty cold and not relatable.
I wanted to approach this as a real, 20-something that used to hate plain water but wanted off diet sodas.What is the best Sparkling Ice Flavor?Not only did I not get hooked on the carbonated drinks, but I also got my husband hooked on them at the beginning.His favorite flavor was the Orange Mango. Coconut Pineapple or Peach Nectarine. Other Sparkling Ice Flavors.
Black Cherry. Strawberry Lemonade. Grape Raspberry. Black Raspberry. Pomegranate Blueberry. Cherry Limeade.
Strawberry Watermelon. Kiwi Strawberry. Pink Grapefruit.
Crisp Apple. Ginger Lime. Classic Lemonade. Lemon LimeAmazon has several to pick from, and if you are a prime member you get free shipping!My mom, husband, and I all agree that they have a better flavor than other flavored waters like SoBe and Vitamin Water.
Is Sparkling Ice a soda?Technically Sparkling Ice is a artificially sweetened carbonated drink. I wouldn’t put it under the soda category, but I also wouldn’t call if carbonated or seltzer water because of the other ingredients in it. What’s the Bottom Line?Moderation is the key for us. We drink more flat, filtered water more than any other drink. We get more healthy foods over processed, junk foods.With that said, we’re not giving up our, Diet Coke or pizza nights all together. They are an occasional treat.This is just my opinion and what has worked for us. If you’re on the fence, definitely ask your doctor.
If nothing else, it will give you peace of mind with your decision.Other Alternatives to Sparkling IceThe flavored water market is huge. Here are 5 of the brands we’ve also tried.This is the healthy version of ICE, but it tastes like the healthy version.
We prefer the citrus flavors.While they’ve recently come under attack for allegedly not listing all of their ingredients, it is suppose to be just water, flavor and carbon dioxide for the bubbles.This fancy little machine allows you to carbonate your own water to your preference and add in flavor.We personally liked the energy flavor mixed with grapefruit, but the regular soda was like drinking a major generic brand. A lot of their mix-ins don’t contain artificial sweeteners, but it’s best to check each label.We really thought we were onto something with Zevia. Then, they updated their brand to not include coloring. Maybe it was mental, but when they upgraded we felt like the taste was different.However, if you’re looking for all natural AND love a good soda versus carbonated water product, try these.
You can get them in the grocery too in the health food section.This is our least favorite. It still has those pesky sweeteners in it, but it lacks the bubbles.
Bonus:Bubly is also another popular brand that is pretty new. We haven’t tried it yet, but its ingredients are just water, flavor and carbonated water like La Croix.You can also flavor your own water!Here are two recipes we love!This tea is perfect for kids instead of Kool-Aid and also is spa-like as an adult.Hawaiian Punch is packed with high fructose corn syrup which can also increase inflammation. This healthy option tastes similar and skips the added sweeteners. Did our Sparkling ICE review help you? Have you tried them before?You can also order which is pretty cool! Prime members even get free shipping!
You can definitely have the drinks on a diet. What diet are you doing? The good thing about the Ice!
Drinks is that they don’t contain aspartame that most diet drinks have. Aspartame has been linked to all kinds of health problems through independent studies, and it is outlawed in some countries! It also doesn’t have caffeine which is also addictive. If you HAVE to have a diet coke, try Pepsi’s “One” because it has Splenda. No artificial sweetener is as good as water, but it is less dangerous.
I’ve been drinking Sparking Ice for several months now and I love them! I’ve been off of colas of any kind mainly because of the caffeine and the aspartame. I’ve been on a low carb diet along with my husband who is a Type 2 diabetic.
I had mainly just been drinking regular water but it’s just so bland and I really, really miss a carbonated drink with meals. I saw one of my co-workers with a Sparkling Ice and just had to try itI was hooked. I don’t drink them all day, maybe one per day, if that many. There are so many flavors out now but my faves are the Cherry Limeade and Coconut Pineapple. I’ve been able to buy them at our local Brookshires Grocery, Wal-Mart and Sam’s Club. They are usually around $1.00 each but if you buy at Sam’s Club, you get 18 bottles for $10.98. I, too, like ICE.
As indicated would like a few of the ingredients removed; potassium benzoate and sucralose. I drink about two per day.
I used to drink diet coke, but found at times it was not agreeable to me thus I switched. ICE has some benefits. It does not have caffeine and it has a number of vitamins; Vitamin A, Vitamin D, Niacin, Vitamin B6, Vitamin B12, and Biotin. For someone who does not like the taste of water, but prefers carbonated drinks, it works for me.I checked Bubly which was suggested as an alternate carbonated drink, but alas Bubly does not have too many choices. It is also in a can which I do not like to drink from. I feel there is a different taste drinking from a can.Will continue drinking ICE.
My favorite is ginger lime. The major benefit of Ice drinks is NO SODIUM! It is so hard to get food or drink when running from work to work or errands and avoid salt. I’m one that would rather have flavor, doesn’t like seltzer and can’t get over paying for water, Ice is my answer. Would be great if they could use nature’s colourants.Wonderful review, balanced, with multiple sources noted, lets everyone know what is out there on the subject, whether backed by science or just opinion, full disclosure, as they say.
