Looking for a fizzy drink that’s refreshing, flavorful, and guilt-free? Sugar-free seltzer is the perfect swap for soda or juice. With zero sugar, no calories, and refreshing carbonation, it’s become the go-to healthy soda alternative for health-conscious consumers.

In this post, we’ll explore the rise of sugar-free seltzer, its health benefits, how it stacks up against other drinks, and why Shimmerwood’s CBD seltzers are an easy way to enjoy bubbles with a functional twist.

Why Sugar-Free Seltzer Is on the Rise

Over the past decade, sugar-free seltzer has gone from niche product to mainstream staple. The shift is clear:

• Consumers are cutting back on added sugars linked to obesity, diabetes, and tooth decay (CDC source).
• Flavor technology has advanced, making seltzers taste crisp and natural without artificial sweeteners.
• The demand for low-calorie sparkling water continues to grow as people seek hydration that’s both refreshing and health-conscious.

How Sugar-Free Seltzer Stacks Up Against Other Drinks

Compared to other popular beverages, sugar-free seltzer clearly stands out:

• Regular soda often contains around 39 grams of sugar and 150 calories in a single can — a major source of empty calories.
• Fruit juice, while “natural,” still delivers 30+ grams of sugar and nearly 160 calories per serving.
• Diet soda eliminates sugar but replaces it with artificial sweeteners, which not all consumers want in their diet.
• Sugar-free seltzer, on the other hand, contains no sugar and no calories, making it a clean, refreshing choice.
• Shimmerwood Just Hemp Sugar-Free CBD Seltzer goes a step further: sugar-free, zero calories, and infused with calming broad-spectrum CBD.

Health Benefits of Sugar-Free Seltzer

Sugar-free seltzer isn’t just fizzy water — it has multiple benefits:

• Hydration with flavor: A bubbly alternative to plain water.
• Supports better nutrition: Cuts out added sugars without sacrificing taste.
• Potential digestive relief: Light carbonation can ease bloating or nausea for some.
• Better oral health: No sugar means reduced risk of tooth decay.

Shimmerwood’s Just Hemp Sugar-Free CBD Seltzer delivers all these benefits while adding a grounding herbal flavor and CBD infusion — turning hydration into a daily ritual.
