STRAWBERRY CREAM SODA

You may know these as “Italian Sodas”, but it feels like pure American summer to me!

I’ve had store bought strawberry cream soda in the past… in my pre-keto days. They were tasty, but nothing that truly “WOWed” me. 

I typically preferred the classic Texan fizzy soft drink: Dr. Pepper. #TexasBorn

However, I don’t purchase soft drinks any more. In fact, the husband and I haven’t regularly bought sodas during the entirety of our nearly 18 year marriage. 

It’s not a cheap product and we usually were more focused on other ways to get high fructose corn syrup… like through cereals and other packaged sweets. 

Once we switched to a keto lifestyle, we practically never bought sodas. We opted instead for unsweetened sparkling waters

We do love the fizzy drinks, but our tastes have changed to appreciate less sweet things. 

But that doesn’t mean we don’t try to create fun fizzy drinks that still line up with a keto life!

In the heat of summer I love to drink bubbly “soda” type beverages and I have a new favorite fizzy drink! 

Perfect Keto’s Strawberry MCT oil powder is the variable in this refreshing drink and has quickly become one of my top products from the company. 

I wouldn’t have selected the strawberry flavor on my own because the flavor profile isn’t one I’d ever use in coffee…  But after trying it in some coconut milk, it rose in the leaderboard ranks for me. 

I love that I can adjust the volume of the MCT oil powder I use to suit my palate. Here’s how I make this Strawberry Cream Soda: 

STRAWBERRY CREAM SODA

A refreshing summertime drink with the added benefits of MCT oil!

Ingredients

Instructions

  • In a glass, mix the Strawberry MCT Oil Powder into the coconut milk.
  • Add ice if desired.

Notes

Make this drink perfect for your taste by adjusting the amount of strawberry MCT oil powder, adding more coconut milk, or omitting the milk altogether!
