Smoothie Me Over
When it comes to making a perfect smoothie, the process is usually anything but smooth. Any barista will tell you that smoothies are usually the most time consuming beverage on the menu due to the addition of fresh fruits, juices, the perfect amount of ice, and careful blending to achieve the just right consistency.
Unfortunately, the extra effort and fresh ingredients that make smoothies so delicious and refreshing on a hot summer day also make them a pretty expensive choice for a summer refreshment and not easy to replicate at home. Until now....
New blender ready smoothie mixes are the newest and hottest product release for summer. These easy to prepare smoothie mixes are almost too good to be true.
Only three simple steps: 1) Pour 2) Blend 3) Serve to making perfect smoothies??

Does Your Morning Coffee Need a Splash of Flavor?
Getting bored of your morning coffee? Try adding a splash of flavor! Here are two new syrup flavors that will make your morning coffee an experience to look forward to again.
Unlike some fruit flavoring syrups, Monin Blueberry Pie syrup is formulated for use with dairy products, so it won't separate or cause the cream in your coffee to curdle. Just add 1/2- 1 ounce to fresh brewed coffee, add milk or cream, and enjoy the classic flavor combination of ripe blueberries and graham cracker crust. It's a morning treat that you just might want to enjoy all day.
If you are a fan of caramel flavor with your coffee, then this one is a must try. It still has all the classic goodness of rich, buttery caramel flavor, but it adds a touch salty sweetness that will keep you coming back for more. Torani Salted Caramel syrup is also available in sugar free!
You can find lots of other great flavoring syrups for coffee here.

How SweetSaurus Saved My Summer with Sugar-Free Soda!
Hello Internet, my name is Neil and I’m the newest member of the SweetSaurus team! Since working here one of the greatest perks I’ve found is how I’m no longer restricted to a scant few selections when it comes to everybody’s favorite carbonated beverage.
You see, I unfortunately do not handle sugar very well. I am a big fan of the taste, but my stomach and head don’t share my fondness. A trip to the cooler of any local convenience store can tell you the story of my sadness, as the shelves are stocked to the brim with a wide array of flavors of soda pop, but mostly all contain my forbidden sweet love. Leaving me with very few sugar-free arrows to pierce my thirst’s achy heart.
Working with the SweetSaurus team, I have our entire library of sugar free flavors to beat the heat stocked in my quiver. No longer restricted by the imagination (and cooler space) of others for my soda drinks, I’ve felt compelled to experiment with a wide variety of combinations, the results of which I’d like to share throughout the Summer. In turn, I hope to hear from you guys about your favorite custom sugar free soda drinks. I assure you I will have plenty of opportunities to try them out and let you know how much I enjoyed them!
You’ll be hearing back with me very soon with a my first list of favorites, but don’t hesitate to send me your Carbonated Combos!
This Summer is going to be SWEET!
-Neil

The Tale of Sugar-Free
Once upon a time, adding flavor to coffee, soda, and cocktails inevitably meant adding sugar. Sure, every coffee shop offers one or two "skinny" lattes, but let's face it, Sugar-Free options have been very limited. Sugar-Free was more about limitations than freedom of choice.
A great selection of sugar free flavors was the stuff of fantasy, day-dreams, and romantic longings.
We pined away for flavors like Sugar-Free Coconut, Peanut Butter, Mango, Black Cherry, Pomegranate, Gingerbread, Blackberry, Amaretto, White Chocolate, Pumpkin Pie and Chocolate Cookie Dough....
We had dreams of Sugar-Free Lime, Orange, Salted Caramel, Banana, Macadamia Nut, English Toffee, Vanilla Bean, Pineapple, Lemon, Peppermint, Strawberry, Peach, Almond, Watermelon.....
We wished for Sugar Free Raspberry, Cinnamon Vanilla, Almond Roca, Huckleberry, Dulce de Leche, Blueberry, Hazelnut, Chocolate, Triple Sec, Kahlua, Chai Tea Concentrate, and Toasted Marshmallow.
Don't worry though, the tale of Sugar-Free finally has its "happily ever after." One by one, the Sugar-Free flavors of our dreams came true. Sugar-Free options are no longer the stuff of fairy tales, and finally flavor is "free" from the confines of sugar.
Browse our selection of Monin, Torani, and Davinci Sugar-Free syrups
Can't find the flavor you want? We are always hunting for more flavors to add to our selection, so please, tell us the Sugar-Free flavors you are still craving.
