With all the concern about sugar-free sweetners making a person gain weight because it doesn’t really give you the “mouth-feel” or satiation of something really sweet, what do you do when you want a soda? Sugar and caffeine aren’t really good for you (Did you know that a cola can eat away rust and gunk on an engine? What does it do to your insides?)
Now there’s something new to test out. TAVA from Pepsi is a new sparkling beverage that is sugar and caffeine-free, comes in three fruity blend flavors and also has vitamins and minerals too.
Tava is enhanced with Vitamins E, B6, Niacin and Chromium, but minus the caffeine. Tava offers taste that does not overwhelm the palate. It is available in Mediterranean Fiesta, a black cherry citrus;\
Tahitian Tamure, a tropical berry blend;
and
Brazilian Samba, which mixes passionfruit, pineapple and lime.
Think of this as a sophisticated soda that offers unique flavors and will be great on its own or blended into other types of drinks like smoothies or cocktails.
Tava is rolling out nationally in February in 16.9-oz. PET bottles –suggested retail price: $1.49 and sleek 12-oz. can 4-packs at a suggested retail price: $2.99.. For more information, visit
www.tava.com.
I haven’t tried it yet, I haven’t seen it at my local markets yet either, though it’s rolling out this month. Will give you some feedback once I find it. I am sure to
1) try all flavors
2) try it in a smoothie or mixed with other juices and
3) try it as a cocktail mix
