Weight Loss Forum / Low Carb / January 2004Splenda Orange Drink
Is there a Tang-like beverage that is made with Splenda? TIA, joan joan o'reilly http://members.aol.com/Joan8904/index.html Diet Rite has come out with a Tangerine flavored carbonated soda ... closest thing I can think of at the moment.

I'm not sure if it's made with Splenda, but they make it. I found it at Super Walmart, of course. Scott > Is there a Tang-like beverage that is made with Splenda? Unsweetened tangerine or orange-pineapple Kool-Aid, sweetened with about 1/2 cup Splenda instead of a whole cup. Either one tastes more like juice than orange Kool-Aid does. (Actually, I use 1/4 tsp NOW stevia "potent white extract" powder, and about a teaspoon of liquid saccharin, for a carb-free version)  Signaturejamie (jamiemck@newsguy.com) "There's a seeker born every minute." >Unsweetened tangerine or orange-pineapple Kool-Aid, sweetened >with about 1/2 cup Splenda instead of a whole cup.

I always liked juice mixed with some sparkling water. Now I think I'll try this mixed sparkling water instead. I'll have to pick some up next time I'm at the store. > Thanks for posting this suggestion. I had never even thought of getting > unsweetened koolaid and making it with Splenda.

Speaking o' such, now I am thinking of combining some of the relatively high-carb juice drinks (ones that are ca 10 g per cup and are frequently labeled "lite") with compatible 0-carb carbonated beverages to lower the carb count.

I thought the Cranberry-Grape was MUCH too sweet. The grapefruit one is a lot better but, as you say, too high in carbs. What other ones aren't really sweet? SignatureJean B. > >> thanks for that suggestion jean...................i LOVE the ocean [quoted text clipped - 3 lines] > one is a lot better but, as you say, too high in carbs. What > other ones aren't really sweet? I mix the CranGrape with water or soda, because it is pretty syrupy sweet. The diet V8 Splash tropical blend has only 3g per 8oz, and I water that down a bit, too, and add a twist of lemon to cut the sweetness.

I have coupons for a couple of free bottles of OceanSpray. I got a bottle of the Cranberry, which I think is better than the CranGrape, which was just toooo sweet. (My daughter ended up drinking it though.) I still want to dilute the Cranberry because it is 10 g carb per cup, which is pretty high. If I can drink half of that and half of something that has 0 g carbs, that is a more-acceptable average. Speaking of such, and even getting back to the subject in the header, I did see Tropicana's Light and Healthy today. (At Stop & Shop in Massachusetts.) I didn't buy it, because it is still 17 g carb per cup--which is MUCH too high. Maybe if they had something smaller than a half gallon, I would buy it and dilute it A LOT. Or use a bit for cooking, but how can I ever use a half gallon of it if I am also diluting it? SignatureJean B. I hope the OP is still here! My husband wanted something with his breakfast this morning. He mixed a bit of daVinci's sugar free orange syrup with a bit of lemon juice and water. Voila! Tang! We are going to try putting it through our smoothie maker with ice next!

My sister has always mixed perrier or san pellegrino with about 1/4-1/2 cup of cranberry juice and a twist of lime. Really refreshing and crisp. She used it as a great way to enjoy juices without all the sugar during her pregnancy. - jen c 259/208/140 My daughters used to mix juice with carbonated water, we called it fizz juice.
