SodaStream offers you the great convenience of baking soda or carbonated water in the comfort of your kitchen.
Of course, plain carbonated water may not sound appealing. Still, when you factor in all the flavors available to add using simple syrup, you suddenly find a whole world of Popular flavors at your disposal.
The question then becomes, which flavor do you want first?
When you expand your horizons further, you may want to consider other flavor options to mix with your SodaStream.
Torani Syrups are known for being high quality and having a great selection, but they aren’t the only brand you may encounter.
There is a whole world of powered flavors, as well. When you think of all of the options, like Crystal Light, the possibilities for your SodaStream are endless.
Yes, you can use Fit Torani Syrup with Sodastream. Let me explain.
While SodaStream makes its line of flavorings best suited for use in its machines, many people want to venture beyond the basics and add other flavor options.
Torani Syrups is often the first brand to come to mind since its vast and varied selection.
Luckily for all of us, Torani Flavored syrups work well with SodaStream, like most added flavorings.
They’ll allow you to expand your flavor pallet with various popular flavors.
| Flavor | SodaStream Syrups | Torani Fruity Syrup |
| Fruit Flavors | Cranberry, Blue Raspberry Syrup, Homestyle Lemonade, Pink Grapefruit, Strawberry Watermelon, Strawberry Syrup, Coconut, Pineapple, Berry Mix, Coconut milk | Apple, Peach, Tangerine, Fresh Strawberry Flavoring Syrup, Raspberry, Pineapple, Pomegranate, Grapefruit, Orange, Mango, Passion Fruit, Lime, Kiwi, Lemon, Grape, Coconut, Cherry |
| Soda Flavors | Cola, Ginger Ale, Cream Soda, Dr. Pete, Fountain Mist, Root Beer, Cherry Cola, Orange Cola
*All available in “Diet” as well |
Root Beer |
| Indulgent Flavors | None | Tiramisu, Salted Caramel, Pumpkin Spice, Maple, Irish Crème, Gingerbread, French Vanilla, Cupcake, Chocolate Chip Cookie Dough, Cheesecake |
| Other varieties of Flavors | Tonic | Almond milk, Vanilla, Amaretto, Peanut Butter, Peppermint, Lavender, Hazelnut, Coffee |
While Torani syrups work well in SodaStream, you can see from the chart that they specialize in very different syrup flavors than SodaStream.
You can add plain heavy cream, some Italian Soda Syrup, and whipped cream topping to make Italian Cream Soda.
This Italian cream soda will look similar to those available in the Italian Soda Bar if you use Torani syrups.
Italian Soda Recipes with Torani Syrup Sodastream
They will be able to satisfy your Italian soda or Soft Drink craving, while Torani only offers root beer.
Torani offers a wide range of flavors, and many Italian soda recipes use these syrups to craft incredible drinks.
You can try the Italian soda recipe of your choice using their extensive range of flavors.
Notice that neither of these brands offers any tea flavors, nor is there much variety in kinds of lemonade. You may need to look beyond just SodaStream and Torani for those flavors.
While SodaStream is the natural first stop for flavor choices, and Torani is well-known enough to be an apparent second consideration for buying choices, many people like to see beyond both of them and explore powered options, like Crystal Light or their concoctions using fruit juices.
Can you use any syrup with SodaStream?
SodaStream works by carbonating the water before you add any flavoring or syrups.
It means adding flavor to Sparkling water like pre-packaged bottled soda water.
This makes adding any flavoring to Sparkling Water you’d like easy.
While the most obvious choice is to use the SodaStream flavorings, any liquid flavor concentrate will work.
Some people prefer a substantial variety of Soft Drink flavors, while others like a lighter touch.
For those who prefer a lighter flavoring, fruit juice is a great option since it won’t be too strong.
While you can use any syrup with SodaStream, it is best that the flavoring is in a liquid form. Since you will need to “mix” it with the soda water, and the soda water is carbonated, you won’t want to use something that will require you to shake or stir vigorously.
Can You Use Mio in SodaStream?
You can use Mio, Torani, or even just fruit juice!
You may want to experiment with the liquid to determine what concentration level works best for you.
A gentle, side-to-side tilt should be all it takes to mix the syrup with soda water.
What syrup can you use in SodaStream?
We offer Classic syrups, Diet syrups, Fruit Drops, Organic Soda Presses, and Fruit syrups. Add sparkling drink syrups.
Use the indicated lines on the cap of the flavor bottle to choose a normal or light sweetness level. Tilt the carbonating bottle at an angle and pour the flavor into your sparkling water.
Are SodaStream syrups healthy?
SodaStream does a great job of recognizing many people’s concerns about too much sugar.
It is important to note that many of their syrups contain caffeine and artificial colors like caramel coloring. Some syrups even contain artificial flavors that can affect your health.
Of course, with SodaStream syrups, you also have the flexibility to decide how much of the syrup you wish to add.
It depends on how much sweet syrup you use in your refreshing drink or regular soda.
When you combine the ability to add only a moderate about of syrup with their decreased sugar content and limited artificial ingredients, SodaStream syrups are certainly a healthier choice than store-bought soda.
SodaStream also offers a line of organic and fruit syrups that provide even more options.
Can I use Crystal Light with SodaStream?
syrups for SodaStream
Their lemonade options are also more limited than many people prefer.
Crystal Light is undoubtedly a popular choice with a wide range of flavors.
Using the liquid forms of Crystal Light will make mixing it with your SodaStream soda water as easy as adding any other flavoring.
It won’t take any extra steps or special considerations on your part.
To add a liquid form of Crystal Light to your SodaStream soda water, use the following steps:
- Fill your SodaStream bottle with water to the fill line
- Insert the bottle and screw it into place
- Pulse for carbonation until you reach your desired level of fizz
- Carefully remove your soda water from the SodaStream by unscrewing and tilting the bottle gently
- Once you have your Crystal Light and soda water ready, tilt the soda water at a 45-degree angle
- Squeeze your desired amount of Crystal Light down the inside of the bottle so that it runs gently into the soda water
- Before re-capping the SodaStream bottle, tilt it side-to-side and swirl it gently to mix the flavoring with the soda water
- Taste your mix and repeat steps 5-7 until the flavoring is as strong as you’d like it to be
If you prefer to use one of the powdered versions of Crystal Light, you will need to add an extra step.
If you add the powder directly to soda water, you’ll discover two major challenges:
- It won’t mix well without shaking, and that’s not a good idea with a carbonated beverage! And
- It will likely cause excessive fizzing that will bubble up, overflow, and make almost as much mess as if you had shaken it!
The solution is surprisingly simple. Mix the Crystal Light powder with just enough water to liquify it. It won’t take more than 1-2 tablespoons of water to mix with the amount of powder usually used with a 16-20 oz bottle.
Warmer water will dissolve the powder better than cold water, and you will want to mix it thoroughly.
Mix one of the individual travel packs with a 16-20 oz bottle of soda water.
You’ll need to mix it with 1-2 tablespoons of water first.
That will form a Crystal Light concentrate that can be added like syrup or a liquid version of Crystal Light.
Of course, you can mix a more significant amount of Crystal Light with more soda water; be sure to turn it into a liquid concentrate by adding a small amount of water with the powder first.
Healthier Soda for You and Earth
It’s easy to see why when you consider how convenient they are.
If you want to know whether you can use regular bottles instead of Sodastream bottles in your soda maker have a look at the linked article.
Most of the club soda, juice, and water we grab while out and about comes in a plastic bottle that is eventually thrown in the trash.
While many people are happy to switch to a reusable water bottle, that only helps if you are willing to drink nothing but plain water.
Since that gets very boring quickly, many people end up giving up their water bottles in favor of the variety of beverages available in disposable plastic bottles.
SodaStream can fill this gap by allowing you as much variety as you would find on the shelves of a convenience store while still using reusable bottles.
(check out my Sodastream Models ultimate guide here).
Since SodaStream knows there will be more than just plain water in their bottles, they make them dishwasher safe, keeping them clean and convenient.
Most people find it best to have a few SodaStream bottles in the cabinet.
You can fill one with water, carbonate it, add your syrup of choice for that day, and enjoy!
Of course, you can also store a selection of them in your refrigerator and pour a glass of whatever you may be in the mood for at your leisure.
Either way, SodaStream will make it easy to keep disposable plastic bottles out of your home and our landfills.
With SodaStream syrups, you can adjust the pop to meet your club soda taste while limiting your white sugar intake and eliminating high fructose corn syrup.
You aren’t limited to just SodaStream syrups, though.
SodaStream will allow you to explore the indulgent flavors of Torani Syrups.
You won’t even have to give up your favorite Crystal Light flavors if you mix them carefully.
SodaStream offers many ways to enjoy healthier alternatives to traditional, store-bought soda pops.
