I grew up in the UK where ‘squash’ is a big thing https://en.m.wikipedia.org/wiki/Squash_(drink) – basically it’s cordial/syrup that you dilute with water to make a flavoured drink. Works similarly to cedevita but it’s a liquid not a powder. (ignore the bit about carbonated water on the wiki – I’m after a version that can go with still water).
I know cedevita does a ‘light’ version but it’s still got a ton of calories comparably. In the UK squash comes in ‘no added sugar’ versions or ‘sugar free’ – is there anything like that here?
Edit: I mean drinks that have less than 5kcal per 250ml diluted.

Cedevita Light has no sugar. Only 23 kcal of carbohydrates per drink.

ced light has artificial sweeteners, but only sorbitol produces calories, but much much less than saccharose.
We have squashes too (even more popular than Cedevita), probably some of them light. E.g. https://maraska.hr/kategorije/bezalkoholna-pica/vocni-sirupi/ (although I can’t find light versions, but I am quite sure they exist)
*”I mean drinks that have less than 5kcal per 250ml diluted.”*
Just put half a small teaspoon of normal Cedevita in 250ml+ glass and you’ll get a flavor, more or less, enough to not be “plain water” (which is like 3-5 times less than the “usual dosage”)?
Just drink water at that point
stop drinking this shit, it’s literally cancer powder 💀💀💀💀
Bolero
I don’t think so
https://bolerodrinks.com.hr/ is the manufacturer page but i can’t find nutritional values on it (bit of a red flag tbh but it could be due to mobile site) but I found them here https://www.dm.hr/bolero-sticks-napici-classic-mix-p3857500056108.html and it states 2kcal per 100ml.
Now they say that you can dilute this with 1l of water. Having drank bolero previously, for me one of these sticks is good for 1,5-1,7l.
Nope.
I remember buying sugar free syrup/squash in Konzum couple of times. Can’t remember exactly the flavour or brand, but I think one was raspberry and other was lemon + elderflower. Generally the sour flavours are better at hiding the taste of artificial sweeteners. Take a look around in Konzum or Kaufland, there should be at least something.
