What is Bolero Sugar-Free Drink?
Bolero Sugar-Free Drink is a powder to dilute, sold in individual 9 g sachets. One sachet flavours between 1.5 and 3 litres of water, depending on the intensity you are after. It is neither a food supplement nor a sports drink: it is a concentrated, sweetened flavouring that makes tap water drinkable when plain water bores you.
The brand is Bulgarian and offers a very wide range, from classics such as lemon, peach or strawberry-banana through to more unusual registers — ginger, cinnamon, guanabana, goji berry, almond. The flavours available at any given moment vary with deliveries; the list shown on this page is the one matching actual stock.
On the label, the list fits on a single line: acids (citric acid, malic acid), inulin fibre, natural flavourings, sweeteners (acesulfame K, sucralose, steviol glycosides extracted from stevia), acidity regulator, anti-caking agent, thickeners (guar gum, gum arabic), L-ascorbic acid and natural colours. No preservatives, no aspartame. At 0.80 € a sachet, the litre works out at a few cents — that is the real argument, and it has nothing to do with nutrition.
What does a glass of Bolero contain once prepared?
The values below are those of the reconstituted drink, not of the powder. That is the useful reading: nobody swallows a dry sachet.
| Per 100 ml prepared | Value | % NRV* |
|---|---|---|
| Energy | 8 kJ / 2 kcal | < 1% |
| Fat | 0 g | 0% |
| of which saturates | 0 g | 0% |
| Carbohydrate | 0.17 g | < 1% |
| of which sugars | not disclosed | — |
| Fibre | 0.015 g | — |
| Protein | 0.023 g | < 1% |
| Sodium | 0.001 g | — |
| Vitamin C | 12 mg | 15% |
* Nutrient reference values for a typical adult. The manufacturer does not publish a separate “of which sugars” line, nor a value for salt: we are not going to reconstruct it on their behalf. The figures correspond to an average dilution and may shift from one flavour to another.
Two numbers are worth pausing on. 2 kcal per 100 ml, or around twenty calories per litre: over a day in which you drink two litres of flavoured water, that comes to 40 kcal. It is negligible within a deficit, and it is exactly what you ask of this kind of product. Then the 12 mg of vitamin C per 100 ml, or 15% of the NRV — above the threshold that allows a drink to be described as a source of vitamin C. On that basis, the authorised wordings apply: vitamin C contributes to normal energy-yielding metabolism and contributes to the reduction of tiredness and fatigue. A prepared litre provides around 120 mg. It is not the reason to buy the product, but it is not nothing either.
How do you prepare a Bolero sachet?
One 9 g sachet, in 1.5 to 3 litres of cold water, once a day at most according to the daily portion stated by the manufacturer. There is no course to follow: it is a drink, it is used as you go, for as long as you like.
Setting the intensity comes down to three benchmarks: 1.5 litres for a bold, tangy taste, 2 litres for the most common balance, 3 litres if you simply want to break the neutrality of water without feeling you are drinking a cordial. Start at 2 litres and adjust from there.
Pour the powder into an already filled bottle and shake for thirty seconds: the gums need agitation to disperse, otherwise you will be left with lumps at the bottom. An opened bottle keeps in the fridge and should be drunk within twenty-four hours.
Beyond water, the powder is also used to flavour fromage blanc, plain yoghurt or a serving of neutral-tasting BCAAs and EAAs, which many people find hard to finish. Half a sachet is more than enough in that case.
Who is Bolero for, and who is it not for?
The product is aimed first at people who do not drink enough because water bores them, and at those trying to get away from fizzy drinks without turning to the shop-bought diet versions. During a cutting phase, it is also a simple way to add variety without adding calories, in the same way as our zero sauces.
It is not suitable in several cases. If you are sensitive to intense sweeteners — bloating, digestive discomfort —, start with a 3-litre dilution, or give it a miss: the formula contains three of them, acesulfame K, sucralose and steviol glycosides. The manufacturer recommends not exceeding one sachet a day and that children drink it under adult supervision. Pregnant or breastfeeding women should seek the advice of a healthcare professional before making daily use of it. Anyone who is diabetic or following a medically supervised diet should discuss it with their doctor rather than rely on a product page.
And above all, what not to expect from it. Bolero does not make you lose weight: it avoids calories, which is not the same thing. With 1 mg of sodium per 100 ml, it is not a rehydration drink either; after two hours out in the sun, what you need is real electrolytes, not a flavouring. And it contains no stimulants, unlike what the energy drinks section offers.
Bolero or an electrolyte powder?
The question comes up often at the counter, because the two come in the same form: a powder, some water, a taste. Yet they are two products that answer different needs.
Bolero is a flavouring. Its value lies in the volume it allows you to drink: 1.5 to 3 litres per sachet, at a derisory cost, with 2 kcal per 100 ml. Use it for everyday hydration, at the office, in the car, across the whole day.
An electrolyte powder provides sodium, potassium and magnesium in stated amounts, precisely what Bolero does not have. It is the better choice as soon as you sweat heavily: a long session in a heated gym, running in summer, endurance sport beyond an hour, or the day after a heatwave. In those situations, flavouring water is not enough, and nobody should be selling you the opposite.
The two combine very well: minerals during training, Bolero for the rest of the day. And if you are looking for energy before a session, it is the pre-workouts you should be looking at, not this.
Frequently asked questions
How many litres does a 9 g sachet make?
From 1.5 to 3 litres, as you prefer. At 1.5 litres the taste is pronounced and slightly acidic; at 3 litres it becomes discreet. The dilution recommended by the manufacturer, the one that suits most people, is around 2 litres per sachet.
Does Bolero contain aspartame?
No. The sweeteners used are acesulfame K, sucralose and steviol glycosides extracted from stevia. The label explicitly mentions the absence of aspartame, as well as the absence of gluten and lactose.
Does Bolero hydrate better than water?
No, and the formulation does not allow for it: 1 mg of sodium per 100 ml is far too little to talk about rehydration in the sense that sports drinks mean it. What the product changes is the amount you actually drink. Drinking two litres of flavoured water rather than one litre of plain water is the only mechanism at work, and it is more than enough.
Which flavour should you choose to start with?
The tangy flavours go down best on a first order: lemon, iced peach, strawberry, watermelon. The unusual registers — cinnamon, ginger, almond, guanabana — are good but divisive, so save them for a second purchase. At 0.80 € a sachet, trying three flavours costs less than a bottle of fizzy drink.
Can it be used to flavour unflavoured amino acids?
Yes, and it is a common use. Half a sachet in a shaker of unflavoured EAAs or glutamine is enough to make the mix drinkable. Just take care not to add up two full sachets in the same day, since the manufacturer recommends sticking to one.
Is it suitable for children?
The manufacturer asks that consumption by a child takes place under parental supervision. Given the intense sweetener content, a generous dilution and occasional use are more sensible than a daily bottle. If in doubt, your pharmacist will answer better than we can.
Is the composition the same across all flavours?
The base is identical, but the flavourings and the natural colours change, and the nutritional values may vary slightly at the margin. The colour comes from a carrot concentrate on the flavours concerned. Always refer to the label of the sachet you have in your hand.
Where can you buy Bolero Sugar-Free Drink?
Every flavour in stock can be ordered from this page, individually, which lets you put together your own selection without buying a whole box of a flavour you do not like. We ship throughout France and Europe.
At Vendargues, in our shop about ten minutes from Montpellier, the sachets are displayed loose and it is the shelf customers spend the most time in front of: picking five flavours at random remains the best method. The rest of the range can be found in the Bolero collection, and the other ways of adding flavour without sugar — powders, syrups, flavourings — in flavourings and sweeteners.
Who is Bolero, and where does the brand come from?
Bolero is a European brand of sugar-free instant drinks: powdered sachets, to be diluted in water. It is distributed across the continent from Germany, where the company Bolero GmbH, based in Rommerskirchen, handles its distribution. The brand does not publish its year of creation or the details of its production sites, and we will not go beyond what its own legal notices allow us to verify.
Its principle is simple and explains its success: one 9g sachet, water, and you get between 1.5 and 3 liters of flavored drink depending on the desired taste intensity. No bottles to carry, no sugar, no preservatives. It's a product for daily use, not a performance supplement—the nuance is important, and we'll come back to it.
The brand applies this principle to over fifty flavors, from classics (lemon, orange, peach, strawberry) to more unexpected ones, as well as a line of iced teas and an aloe vera line. This depth of assortment is Bolero's true proposition: few ranges allow you to change your taste weekly for a year.
What do you actually drink in a Bolero sachet?
The base is simple and clear. It contains acidifiers (citric acid, malic acid), which give it a tangy taste, inulin fiber, vegetable gums (guar, arabic) which provide body, flavorings, natural colorings, and sweeteners based on steviol glycosides, extracted from the leaf of Stevia rebaudiana. No aspartame, no gluten, no preservatives.
Nutritional values: approximately 2 kcal per 100 ml once diluted, which remains negligible over a day. The formula is enriched with vitamin C: at the reference dilution, a 100 ml glass provides 12 mg, or 15% of the reference intake. Vitamin C contributes to the normal functioning of the immune system—but note that this intake varies by a factor of two depending on whether you dilute your sachet in 1.5 or 3 liters. It is not a source of vitamin C on which to build anything; for that, the vitamin C section is more appropriate.
Regarding the sweetener, a useful benchmark: the EFSA has set an acceptable daily intake of 4 mg per kilogram of body weight per day for steviol glycosides, expressed as steviol equivalents. At the quantities contained in a diluted drink of this kind, typical consumption remains well below this benchmark.
How to prepare a Bolero, and at what dilution?
One 9g sachet for 1.5 to 3 liters of water. This is a considerable difference, and it's where most people go wrong the first time. At 1.5 liters, the drink is strong, almost syrupy for some palates. At 3 liters, it becomes lightly flavored water, which many people seek precisely to drink more throughout the day.
Our practical advice: start with 2 liters, taste, then adjust. Pour the powder into an already filled carafe and stir rather than the other way around; vegetable gums disperse better in a large volume of water. Cold water gives a better taste result but dissolves more slowly: let it sit for two or three minutes before judging. A shaker solves the issue in ten seconds for small volumes.
Two less obvious uses work well: flavoring plain yogurt or cottage cheese with a small amount of dry powder, and flavoring homemade preparations. In this area, the range joins that of flavorings and sweeteners, with a fruitier and more acidic profile.
Our reseller's opinion
What works. The price-to-volume ratio is unbeatable: a sachet of a few grams replaces two to three bottles of diet soda, without the weight or packaging. For someone who doesn't like plain water and, due to lack of taste, drinks too little, it's a simple and effective tool. During a period of calorie deficit, where taste boredom causes a lot of damage, having a pleasant drink with zero or almost zero calories concretely changes the difficulty of the diet. And the variety of flavors prevents the fatigue that condemns most diet drinks after three weeks.
The main limitation, and it's real: it's not a sports drink. A Bolero provides neither useful quantities of sodium, nor potassium, nor carbohydrates. It hydrates exactly like the water in which it is diluted—no better, no worse. For a long session, an outing in hot weather, or an effort that makes you sweat profusely, this is not the right product: electrolytes exist precisely for that, and a proper sports drink contains carbohydrates. Confusing the two is the most frequent mistake we correct at the counter in this department.
Three other reservations. First, the taste of stevia: its licorice aftertaste is not universally popular, and it stands out more in less acidic flavors. If you don't like it, no flavor in the range will make you forget it. Second, acidity: like any tangy drink, sweetened or not, it remains acidic for tooth enamel. Drinking with meals rather than sipping all day, and rinsing with clear water, are reasonable habits; if in doubt, your dentist will decide better than us. Finally, with so many references, the flavor lottery is inevitable: buy individually before ordering an entire box of a scent you don't know.
Bolero or an electrolyte drink?
The two do not answer the same question, and it is common to need both.
Bolero is for daily use: drinking enough water, sugar-free, calorie-free, with taste. It's a product for the office, home, car.
An electrolyte formula is for effort: replacing sodium, potassium, and magnesium lost through sweat during long sessions or in heat—a serious issue in our region between May and September. Some of these formulas add amino acids, thus joining the realm of EAAs to sip during a session.
If your need is energy rather than hydration, you should look at energy drinks or boosters—with the usual precautions related to caffeine. And if you are building a complete "sugar-free" pantry, the Bolero logic extends to zero sauces, sugar-free jams, and the Rabeko and Callowfit ranges.
Frequently Asked Questions
What is the composition of a Bolero drink?
The list is short for this type of product. A 9g sachet contains acidifiers—citric acid and malic acid, which give the tangy taste—inulin fiber and vegetable gums (guar, arabic) for mouthfeel, flavorings, natural colorings, vitamin C, and steviol glycosides as a sweetener. No sugar, no aspartame, no preservatives, no gluten. Once diluted, you get about 2 kcal per 100 ml, most of which comes from other ingredients in the formula, not sugar. The exact composition varies slightly from one flavor to another—especially colorings and flavorings—and the sachet label remains the reference.
Is Bolero healthy?
Let's rephrase the question: healthy compared to what? Compared to a soda or syrup, the exchange is clearly favorable—you eliminate 20 to 25g of sugar per glass. Compared to plain water, Bolero adds nothing nutritionally: it's a flavored product, with sweetener, colorings, and acidifiers, even if all its ingredients are authorized and evaluated additives. Two points are worth knowing. Acidity—citric and malic acids—attacks tooth enamel just like lemon juice would, so it's better to drink with meals than to sip all day. And ANSES reminds us that no long-term nutritional benefit of intense sweeteners has been demonstrated, neither for weight nor blood sugar. The use where this product provides a real service is this: someone who doesn't drink enough water because it has no taste, and who drinks more thanks to it.
Is Bolero really sugar-free?
Yes. The sweet taste comes from steviol glycosides, which do not provide calories. The diluted drink contains approximately 2 kcal per 100 ml, most of which comes from other ingredients in the formula, not sugar.
Is Bolero cheaper than syrup or soda?
Significantly, and this is its strongest argument. A 9g sachet produces 1.5 to 3 liters of drink: per liter, it is much cheaper than bottled soda, and comparable to or cheaper than concentrated syrup. Two invisible savings are added: no bottles to transport or store, and no packaging to discard. The correct calculation, to compare honestly, is to divide the price of the sachet by the number of liters you actually get from it—not by the theoretical 3 liters if you dilute at 1.5.
How many sachets can you drink per day?
There is no specific regulatory limit for the product. Common sense serves as a guideline: one to two diluted sachets, or two to four liters of drink, amply cover a day's needs, and these liters replace water, they don't add to it. If you have a medical condition or are undergoing treatment, consult your doctor.
Is Bolero suitable during training?
For a classic gym strength training session, yes: it makes water more pleasant, which encourages you to drink more. For a long effort, a run in summer, or a very sweaty session, no: it lacks sodium and carbohydrates. In that case, switch to an electrolyte formula.
Which Bolero flavor should I choose to start?
Citrus and red fruits are safe bets: their natural acidity best masks the aftertaste of stevia. Creamy or milky flavors, conversely, allow it to stand out more. Take three or four different sachets before committing to a box.
Does the drink contain caffeine?
Classic flavors do not contain caffeine. Some variations, such as those based on cola or guarana, may contain it: read the label of the flavor concerned if this is important to you, especially in the evening.
Does the product contain gluten or aspartame?
No, neither. The brand declares its drinks to be gluten-free and aspartame-free, with sweetening based on steviol glycosides.
Where can I buy Bolero in France?
The brand is not distributed in supermarkets in France. It can be found at specialized sports nutrition and dietetic retailers, online and in-store. We stock it and ship all over France.
Can children drink it?
It is a sugar-free flavored drink, with no particular characteristic that destines it for or prohibits it to a specific audience. That said, water remains the reference drink for children, and the habit of sweet taste is acquired early. For any questions about a child's diet, your doctor or pharmacist will answer better than a product sheet.

Questions fréquentes — Bolero Sugar-Free Drinks
Quelle est la composition d'une boisson Bolero ?
La liste est courte pour ce type de produit. Un sachet de 9 g contient des acidifiants — acide citrique et acide malique, qui donnent le côté acidulé — de la fibre d'inuline et des gommes végétales (guar, arabique) pour la tenue en bouche, des arômes, des colorants d'origine naturelle, de la vitamine C, et des glycosides de stéviol comme édulcorant. Pas de sucre, pas d'aspartame, pas de conservateur, pas de gluten. Une fois dilué, on obtient environ 2 kcal pour 100 ml. La composition exacte varie légèrement d'une saveur à l'autre — notamment les colorants et les arômes — et l'étiquette du sachet reste la référence.
Bolero est-il bon pour la santé ?
Posons la question autrement : bon comparé à quoi ? Face à un soda ou un sirop, l'échange est nettement favorable — vous supprimez 20 à 25 g de sucre par verre. Face à l'eau plate, Bolero n'apporte rien de plus sur le plan nutritionnel : c'est un produit aromatisé, avec édulcorant, colorants et acidifiants, même si tous ses ingrédients sont des additifs autorisés et évalués. Deux points méritent d'être connus. L'acidité — acides citrique et malique — attaque l'émail dentaire comme le ferait un jus de citron, donc mieux vaut boire au repas que siroter toute la journée. Et l'ANSES rappelle qu'aucun bénéfice nutritionnel des édulcorants intenses n'est démontré à long terme, ni sur le poids ni sur la glycémie. L'usage où ce produit rend un vrai service est celui-ci : quelqu'un qui ne boit pas assez d'eau parce qu'elle n'a pas de goût, et qui boit davantage grâce à lui.
Bolero est-il vraiment sans sucre ?
Oui. Le goût sucré vient des glycosides de stéviol, qui n'apportent pas de calories. La boisson diluée titre environ 2 kcal pour 100 ml, l'essentiel venant des autres ingrédients de la formule, non du sucre.
Bolero revient-il moins cher qu'un sirop ou qu'un soda ?
Nettement, et c'est son argument le plus solide. Un sachet de 9 g produit 1,5 à 3 litres de boisson : ramené au litre, on se situe très en dessous d'un soda en bouteille, et à un niveau comparable ou inférieur à celui d'un sirop concentré. S'y ajoutent deux économies invisibles : pas de bouteilles à transporter ni à stocker, et pas d'emballages à jeter. Le bon calcul, pour comparer honnêtement, est de diviser le prix du sachet par le nombre de litres que vous en tirez réellement — pas par les 3 litres théoriques si vous diluez à 1,5.
Combien de sachets peut-on boire par jour ?
Il n'existe pas de limite réglementaire propre au produit. Le bon sens vaut consigne : un à deux sachets dilués, soit deux à quatre litres de boisson, couvrent largement les besoins d'une journée, et ces litres-là remplacent l'eau, ils ne s'y ajoutent pas. Si vous avez une pathologie ou un traitement en cours, demandez l'avis de votre médecin.
Bolero convient-il pendant l'entraînement ?
Pour une séance de musculation classique en salle, oui : il rend l'eau plus agréable, ce qui vous fait boire davantage. Pour un effort long, une course en été ou une séance très transpirante, non : il manque le sodium et les glucides. Passez alors sur une formule d'électrolytes.
Quelle saveur Bolero choisir pour commencer ?
Les agrumes et les fruits rouges sont les valeurs sûres : leur acidité naturelle masque le mieux l'arrière-goût de la stévia. Les saveurs crémeuses ou lactées, à l'inverse, le laissent davantage ressortir. Prenez trois ou quatre sachets différents avant d'engager une boîte.
La boisson contient-elle de la caféine ?
Les saveurs classiques n'en contiennent pas. Certaines déclinaisons, comme celles à base de cola ou de guarana, peuvent en apporter : lisez l'étiquette de la saveur concernée si le sujet vous importe, notamment le soir.
Le produit contient-il du gluten ou de l'aspartame ?
Non, ni l'un ni l'autre. La marque déclare ses boissons sans gluten et sans aspartame, l'édulcoration reposant sur les glycosides de stéviol.
Où acheter Bolero en France ?
La marque n'est pas distribuée en grande surface en France. On la trouve chez les détaillants spécialisés en nutrition sportive et en diététique, en ligne et en magasin. Nous la référençons en rayon et nous expédions partout en France.
Les enfants peuvent-ils en boire ?
C'est une boisson aromatisée sans sucre, sans particularité qui la destine ou l'interdise à un public précis. Cela dit, l'eau reste la boisson de référence chez l'enfant, et l'habitude du goût sucré se prend tôt. Pour toute question sur l'alimentation d'un enfant, votre médecin ou votre pharmacien répondra mieux qu'une fiche produit.
