So im trying to kill my Diet Coke addiction and I found Sparkling Ice drinks. Everyone in Keto forums are raving about these and i admit i love the Black Raspberry flavor mixed with 4 tbsp of heavy cream and poured over ice.

But my question is this… is it really Keto safe?

I know i know…sucralose is bad for you… but thats not what i am questioning…

I am questioning the label… take a look

It says “blackbwrry juice concentrate” on the ingrident label BUT it says O carbs and O sugars.
So is it still okay? Do i count this serving as being 1 carb instead of 0 ?

I love the Ice drinks, but find they are too sweet. I’ve been cutting them about half and half with plain sparkling water and it works great for me.

I personally drink them all the time and have had no issues

So how will this change things for you Heather? Are you avoiding caffeine or something else in Diet Coke? It seems like replacing one artificial sweetener drink with another. Do you just find yourself craving the cola more than the ICE drinks?

I enjoy Crystal Geyser Sparkling Lime, that’s the only flavor that I have tried. I have found since loosing my taste for extremely sweet things on keto, after not drinking diet sodas for a while that they give me the same enjoyment I used to get from soda and it actually has a slight sweet flavor that I didn’t detect before when my taste buds were less sensitive to sweet tastes.

I’m not saying you shouldn’t enjoy them now and then, just giving you my experience. I thought ICE drinks were sweetened with aspartame, not sucralose. I couldn’t read the label you posted. I kind of liked some of the flavors but I remember a bitter backbite aftertaste of the aspartame. I might like them better if they have changed the sweetener to sucralose.

Here where i am, the Ice drinks are sweetened with sucralose instead of aspertame. I kind of did a test run to see and i noticed i dont crave as much when i drink them vs diet coke(aspertame based). Also, im working on staying away from deserts more this time and im finding drinking one of these with 4 tbsp heavy cream gives me enough of a desert like taste, that i dont eat anything else sweet in my diet. So…trying to kill 2 birds with one stone!
