Soda flavor

[yodasplash 20]

So, prior to surgery, I was a self-confessed Dr. Pepper addict. Since I started dating my wife, I had pretty much switched over to Diet Dr. Pepper. My nutritionist obviously told me to steer clear of soda because of the carbonation. However, I really miss the flavor. Has anyone tried using a soda flavoring like the SodaStream line, with plain Water instead of the carbonated Water?

Interesting ! Good idea but how much sugar would be in it?

Toscani makes sugar free syrups in many flavors and it is made with Splenda.

Maybe give them a try and see if they have anything that sounds good to you.

Don't know if true but I heard if u put the soda in a blender it will take the carbonation out............

I was also curious if I could just open a Diet Dr. Pepper and let it sit till it goes flat. Not the ideal solution, just a thought

If you have a Sonic near you, they can make a slush with Diet Dr. Pepper. It's amazing, and no carbonation at all.

They can also add cherry or vanilla Syrup and it only adds a few calories. The slush mix has some calories, but not too many, and it really helps with the cravings.

Im also a diet dr pepper addict. I bought the diet dr pepper flavor for soda stream and added it to plain Water and it was absolutely disgusting. I gave them up in Janurary and crave a nice cold can.

• piercedqt78 - Unless Sonic has changed their recipe for the slush mix, no thanks. I worked their when I turned 16 and had to make the slush mix. It was just basically sugar and Water. And the flavoring is just soda from the fountain. A 20oz "Real Fruit" Lemon slush has 290 calories and 72 grams of sugar.

jalyn96 - thanks for the heads up.

14 oz of the base is about 140 calories. Like I said it does have sugar, and calories, but if you are craving a coke or Dr. pepper there is no carbonation, and it really eases the craving. I get a child sized or a small, so it's about 70 calories for the 8 oz, and the diet dr pepper has like 10 calories. Not too bad.
