Are you a soda drinker? I know some people who drink soda all day long, even first thing in the morning. Not me. I need my coffee in the AM.
I like soda, but I used to only drink it when my family and I went to a restaurant, or if we were at a barbecue. Due to the sugar content, I would only drink soda on those occasions.
These days I don’t drink soda at all. I am trying to keep my A1C at a health level, including my glucose levels when I check my blood sugar. I also don’t want those “empty” calories either. A 12-ounce bottle of soda can be around 150 calories. That doesn’t sound so bad, but if you drink 2-3 cans/bottles per day, that’s close to 500 calories that could be used on more healthier options. Don’t get me started on the amount of sugar in a bottle/can of soda either.
I was sent to review some soda from the brand Säti.
I Googled what Säti means and found that it means either “mindfulness” (Buddhism) or “friend” (Nepalese), depending on which language you translate it into.
Here is some information about the brand.
In October 2019, David McLaughlin and Paul Devlin launched Sati Soda in Colorado.
They wanted to create a truly functional healthy soda, so they hired a mutual friend with a PHD in food science who helped them formulate Sati CBD Soda
Then they set out to disrupt the notion that soda has to be bad for you…
4 Years later they simplified the soda line even further, taking out the hemp but keeping all the unique flavors and functional goodness, making a Sati Original line that’s a better for you soda option for all ages!
Säti was kind enough to send me some samples of their sodas, including their new product line.
I received to review some of the brand’s original Säti Sodas, CBD sodas and their new product line, Säti Slim.
I absolutely LOVE the Säti Soda Energy Berry soda. YUM!!!! It’s perfectly carbonated (not too much, not too little). The flavor is delicious. It’s not very sweet, but in a good way. It also has a great berry flavor.
This soda has only 40 calories, compared to 150 with traditional sodas. In addition, it’s sweetened with organic cane sugar. It’s also non-GMO for those who are looking for Non-GMO options.
I’m not kidding when I say I can easily drink this flavor all day long
I also received the brand’s Clarity Lemon-Lime soda and Chill Ginger soda. Just like with the Energy Berry, I can drink them all day long! I’m not a soda drinker either, so that should tell you something. Ha Ha.
I liked that the ginger flavor didn’t have a strong spicy “kick” like some ginger products have. It had just enough to offer a refreshing and delicious drink.
The lemon-lime was also perfectly carbonated and sweetened. If you like lemon-lime flavored sodas like Sprite or 7-UP, you should try this lower calorie, better-for-you option.
I also received to review some of the brand’s CBD sodas.
To be honest, I wasn’t sure what to expect with these. I was worried the CBD would have a negative effect on me. That was not the case at all. It just made me feel calm and it helped me to de-stress after a long day.
All of the CBD sodas have only 23mg of CBD and ZERO THC. THC is the part of cannabis that makes you get high. CBD is not like that at all. Trust me, I am not a fan of anything with THC in it. CBD is the “good” part of cannabis. It helps people in a variety of ways (you can Google it to find out more).
The CBD sodas come in the same flavors as the original sodas – Berry, Ginger and Lemon-Lime. It also comes in a flavor called Huckleberry Vanilla. I have never had a Huckleberry before, so I was excited to try that flavor.
The Huckleberry Vanilla is a unique flavor. I can’t quit put my finger on it. I want to say it has a floral taste, but of course that would not be the case. It’s not very berry-like, and I really can’t taste vanilla. Even so, I found the flavor enjoyable.
The other flavors taste just like the original flavors. The only difference is the added CBD.
The newest addition to Säti is their Säti Slim sodas. These sodas are available in Watermelon, Tropical Peach, and Huckleberry Vanilla.
Säti Slim is the ultimate way to fuel your day with naturally sweetened, zero calorie, and strictly clean ingredients for sustained energy you can feel good about.
Co-founder of Säti Soda, Heather Brown, took the reins on this new beverage line. With her background in nutrition, Heather was determined to provide solutions to people looking for an organic and clean, zero calorie, sugar-free yet satisfying alternative to the other chemical laden options on the market. She set to work developing Slim in her own kitchen with a SodaStream using only simple, organic, functional ingredients. Säti Slim is available in 3 refreshing new flavors: Slim Watermelon, Huckleberry Vanilla, and Tropical Peach- each free of the excess chemicals and fake sweeteners present in most energy drinks on the market.
Key Features of Säti Slim:
- Clean caffeine sourced from 150 mg of green coffee beans for that energy boost and appetite suppression
- Functional Benefits: Includes PurC, an organic Vitamin C blend from Acerola fruit, which supports immunity, skin health, and acts as a natural preservative & Lion’s Mane supporting cognition and caffeine absorption
- Zero-sugar, zero-stevia, zero-artificial sweeteners: Sweetened with only organic monk fruit.
- Better-for-You Option: A clean, organic energy drink that prioritizes health without compromising on flavor.
“My vision for Säti Slim was to create an energy drink that not only provides a clean caffeine kick but also supports overall wellness,” said Heather Brown, Co-founder of Säti Soda. “With Säti Slim, we’ve created a beverage that’s clean, functional, and, most importantly, delicious. It’s the perfect choice for anyone who wants sustained energy without the crash or harmful chemicals found in traditional energy drinks.”
I appreciate that these sodas have zero calories and no artificial sweeteners. That’s perfect for people looking for a refreshing drink and a better option than traditional sodas.
I tried some of the Säti Slim sodas. I was looking forward to trying out the watermelon and tropical peach flavors I received to review. Sadly, I wasn’t a fan of these sodas. It’s not that they are not good, they just taste more like a lightly flavored club soda to me. I am not a fan of club soda. I’ve never been a fan. These sodas remind me too much of a club soda, which is probably why there were not my “cup of tea.” That doesn’t mean that others won’t find them delicious. Like my mom always told me, “one man’s meat is another man’s poison.”
If the Säti Slim tasted more like the original and/or CBD soda, then I would guzzle these down in a heartbeat.
** I should mention that I didn’t experience any weird after taste after drinking these sodas.
All of the Säti sodas are available on the brand’s website, SatiSoda.com. They can also be found on Facebook and Instagram.
Their sodas are available in 12-packs and variety packs.
Säti Soda is a proud member of “1% For The Planet”. 1% of all sales are donated to Conscious Alliance, providing healthy meals to underserved communities.
