Lidl Indian tonic water does not have any artificial sweeteners. Repeat, no artificial sweeteners!

Hooray.

Anyone want to add to make a list of soft drinks without sweeteners? Would be great to have something comprehensive. Please add if you can.

Ribena Frusions! And they are delicious

BillywigSting · 30/10/2019 18:40

I second the frusions. The kiwi one in particular is delicious

I feel like roses lime cordial is just sugar. Well and other stuff but I mean no sweetener. Sigh. It's been a long day.

Febtimans.

Appletiser is just sparkling apple juice - no added sugar or sweeteners

Bcnamechanger · 30/10/2019 18:44

Fat coke
Appletiser

Gatekeeper · 30/10/2019 18:47

these are wonderful diluted with sparkling water. They do some no added sugar but mostly cordials with sugar only. A little goes a long way

Ohhellooooo · 30/10/2019 18:47

The Aldi tonic water also has no sweeteners - just don’t get the diet one.
Waitrose and M&S 50% high juice squash

Slappadabass · 30/10/2019 18:47

Asda's high juice, They have brought back 4 of them that have sugar rather than sweetener, only £1.20 ish.
Look for a band at the tip of the label that says made with sugar not sweetener.

Rocks Orange squished, best sqash I can find. They make a blackcurrant too.

Apackoflips · 30/10/2019 18:55

That is good news indeed. I never have a soft drink due to the prevalence of Aspartame and other sweeteners . I would only drink full fat coke at home as pubs etc cant be trusted to serve the right one and I react badly to Aspartame so dont take the risk.
Im bookmarking this thread for updates to the list.

Swisskit · 30/10/2019 18:56

I think the Lidl one has no sweetener in the cans but does in the bottles. Bonkers.

ElusiveOrangeTwirl · 30/10/2019 18:57

I think there was a thread on this maybe last year. I'll see if I can find it to add to the list.

Fever Tree

fishonabicycle · 30/10/2019 19:03

I think fever tree light is free from aspartame too.

Nextphonewontbesamsung · 30/10/2019 19:04

@Swisskit - I just poured myself a tonic from a glass bottle (the small bottles, pack of 4) and there is definitely no artificial sweetener in the ingredients list.

Another good one for kids, or if out and about, The standard Capri Suns are made with natural sweetener, the sugar free ones have aspartame in though so check the packaging.

Mamalicious16 · 30/10/2019 19:24

Great thread.

Where do you get the Rocks from Troels?

ShetlandWife · 30/10/2019 19:25

Belvoir. Their blueberry and blackcurrant cordial is the best ribena alternative available. I've tried them all!

getyourgrooveback · 30/10/2019 19:25

Hurrah! A thread I can get behind.

Must admit it was a sad day for me when I went to the local odeon and found the ice blasts are now sugar free and PACKED with sweetener 😭😭😭

getyourgrooveback · 30/10/2019 19:26

I like the tessiere cordials from (guffaw) Waitrose. Especially the passion fruit and the monitor (mint/lime) one. Yum

confusedofengland · 30/10/2019 19:46

We're on holiday in France & loving the sirops that they have here as a change from squash. Some lovely flavours, too. We are going to stock up before we go back home.

PolaDeVeboise · 30/10/2019 20:11

Sainsbury's High Juice - my go to.

feellikeanalien · 30/10/2019 20:16

Mamalicious you can get Rocks in Sainsbury's, Morrisons and Tesco.
