For those of you who miss fruit drinks (as I do), Toothkind Ribena lists its carbs as 0.8g per 150ml serving (one part concentrate to at least four parts water).

I did the hidden carb counter and it comes out at 1.28g. Not bad for a treat now and then.

It lists the sweetners it uses as being:
Aspartame
Acesulfame K

Anyway just a thought if anyone else is interested. It seems a little good to be true, so if anyone has any thoughts just let me know.

Merry Christmas

I bought a 2ltr bottle of it just before I started LCing.

I find it much too sweet now but do occasionally put a little drop into my water. There is a minor risk to taking the sweeteners but then hey, life is all about taking risks - I reckon.

Take care.
