So, I’ve been trying to cut down on sugary drinks lately. You know, the usual suspects – soda, sweet tea, all that stuff. It’s tough, man. I’ve got a sweet tooth, I’ll admit it. So I was looking for something that could kinda scratch that itch but wouldn’t be loading me up with sugar. That’s when I started experimenting with LaCroix.
First off, I had seen these colorful cans everywhere. Seriously, they’re like, in every grocery store, every gas station, you name it. And they always seemed to be flying off the shelves. I figured, “Hey, there’s gotta be something to this, right?” There’s also a bunch of celebrities are drinking it. I mean, I saw Katy Perry, and Robert Pattison with a can in their hand in some magazines, so I thought they must be good. Plus I am also curious about it’s name – LaCroix, sounds really fancy. Turns out it means “The Cross” in French or something, and is named after a small catholic newspaper from Paris. Who would have thought?
So, I grabbed a variety pack. That’s key, I think. You gotta try a bunch of flavors to see what you like. The first one I popped open was the Pamplemousse, which I later found out is just a fancy word for grapefruit. And you know what? It wasn’t bad! It’s got that bubbly, fizzy thing going on, which is what I miss most about soda. And there’s a definite grapefruit flavor there, although it’s not sweet at all. That took some getting used to, I’ll be honest.
- Tried a bunch of other flavors after that. Lime, Passionfruit, Coconut – you name it. Some I liked more than others. Coconut was a little weird for me, not gonna lie. But the berry flavors? Those were pretty good.
- Started keeping a few cans in the fridge all the time. It’s become my go-to when I get that afternoon slump and I’m tempted to reach for something sugary.
- Even started experimenting with adding a splash of fruit juice to the LaCroix. Just a tiny bit, to give it a little extra something. That’s been a game-changer.
Now, I won’t say LaCroix is a perfect replacement for soda. It’s definitely different. But it’s helped me cut way back on the sugary stuff, and that’s a win in my book. Plus, it’s way cheaper than buying fancy soda or getting a SodaStream. I’m not really sure what’s inside the can, all the flavor ingredients are quite a mystery, even after I did a bunch of research. But there is no sugar and no calories, so I guess it’s healthy enough.
It’s not just me, either. I’ve gotten a few friends hooked on it, too. We even have little LaCroix tasting parties sometimes, which is kinda fun. It might sound silly, but finding this has made a real difference for me. So yeah, if you’re looking for a healthier alternative to sugary drinks, I’d say give LaCroix a shot. Just be prepared to try a few different flavors before you find your favorite. And don’t expect it to taste exactly like soda. It’s its own thing, but it’s a pretty good thing, in my opinion.
My final verdict?
LaCroix is a solid choice if you’re trying to be healthier. It’s not a miracle worker, but it’s a step in the right direction. And hey, at least it’s not boring old tap water!
