Best Healthy Diet Sodas According to Dietitians

Diet Sunkist has gone through a rebrand and is now Zero Sugar Sunkist! With the combination of aspartame and acesulfame potassium, this orange soda has the classic flavor you love without the sugar. With 85 milligrams of sodium, this soda is a bit higher than other options on the market. As long as you’re not having more than one or two per day, we aren’t too worried about it. The orange flavor shines through, with very little aftertaste or artificial sweetener flavor.

If you are a diehard Coca-Cola fan, then you may already love Coca-Cola Zero. Coca-Cola Zero is the spinoff of sugar-free diet drinks, and it is actually quite similar to Diet Coke when you look at the nutrition facts. With just 40 mg of sodium, you’ll find that not only is this product sugar-free but it is also low in sodium compared to other types of diet drinks.

“I honestly can’t taste the difference between regular and Coke zero sugar. The sweeteners used are Aspartame and Acesulfame potassium, which are safe in moderation,” says Lisa Andrews, MEd, RD, LD.
