San Pellegrino says: Sparkling Lemon Beverage

Abi says: My local Whole Foods has a terrific deli. Oh, the crepes are perhaps the most horrible crepes I’ve ever had in my life, but the teriyaki and Indian and barbecue and burritos are all pretty darn good. Add the hot bar, several soups, and gorgeous salad fixings and you’ve got my favorite buffet in town. Except for one little problem: no Diet Coke. That’s right, it is impossible to get a Diet Coke at Whole Foods. And most other drinks there are crazy expensive. I like juice, but if I’m eating an entire meal, I don’t want to pay another $4.00 for an Odwalla Cranberry-Lime Drink. Enough is enough!

That’s why I go for San Pellegrino Limonata. It complements just about any meal, is light and refreshing, and at 99¢ is just about the cheapest beverage you can get at Whole Foods and it comes all of the way from Italy. The terrifically short ingredients list doesn’t hurt either:

One thing I should point out is that this drink, which is best described as ’sparkling lemonade’, clocks in at 180 calories. It might be High Fructose Corn Syrup Free, but it isn’t a spa treatment. Of course, you could drink this and pretend that you’re at a spa. In Milan. Resting after watching a fashion show. It makes the lack of Diet Coke more bearable.

[On Amazon.com they have a 6 pack of San Pellegrino Limonata for cheaper than I can buy it at Safeway]

    That’s really weird. The last time I had one of these was about 18 months ago and I was shocked to see HFCS on the label and I vowed never to drink it again. (Not that I drank it that often.)

    This drink does NOT have High Fructose Corn Syrup. It is possible it once had it, but I am sitting in front of a can right now, and it simply has sugar, not HFCS. All ingredients are natural… If it does have HFCS I would stop drinking it as well!
