{"product_id":"bolero-boisson-sans-sucre-stevia","title":"Bolero Sugar-Free Drink - Hydration Stevia 50+ Flavors","description":"\u003ch2\u003eWhat is Bolero Sugar-Free Drink?\u003c\/h2\u003e\n\u003cp\u003eBolero 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.\u003c\/p\u003e\n\u003cp\u003eThe 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.\u003c\/p\u003e\n\u003cp\u003eOn 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.\u003c\/p\u003e\n\n\u003ch2\u003eWhat does a glass of Bolero contain once prepared?\u003c\/h2\u003e\n\u003cp\u003eThe values below are those of the reconstituted drink, not of the powder.

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.\u003c\/p\u003e\n\u003cp\u003eTwo numbers are worth pausing on. \u003cstrong\u003e2 kcal per 100 ml\u003c\/strong\u003e, 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 \u003cstrong\u003e12 mg of vitamin C per 100 ml\u003c\/strong\u003e, 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.\u003c\/p\u003e\n\n\u003ch2\u003eHow do you prepare a Bolero sachet?\u003c\/h2\u003e\n\u003cp\u003eOne 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.\u003c\/p\u003e\n\u003cp\u003eSetting the intensity comes down to three benchmarks: \u003cstrong\u003e1.5 litres\u003c\/strong\u003e for a bold, tangy taste, \u003cstrong\u003e2 litres\u003c\/strong\u003e for the most common balance, \u003cstrong\u003e3 litres\u003c\/strong\u003e 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.\u003c\/p\u003e\n\u003cp\u003ePour 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.\u003c\/p\u003e\n\u003cp\u003eBeyond water, the powder is also used to flavour fromage blanc, plain yoghurt or a serving of neutral-tasting \u003ca href=\"\/en\/collections\/bcaa-eaa\"\u003eBCAAs\u003c\/a\u003e and \u003ca href=\"\/en\/collections\/eaa\"\u003eEAAs\u003c\/a\u003e, which many people find hard to finish. Half a sachet is more than enough in that case.\u003c\/p\u003e\n\n\u003ch2\u003eWho is Bolero for, and who is it not for?\u003c\/h2\u003e\n\u003cp\u003eThe 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 \u003ca href=\"\/en\/collections\/sauce-zero\"\u003ezero sauces\u003c\/a\u003e.\u003c\/p\u003e\n\u003cp\u003eIt is not suitable in several cases. If you are \u003cstrong\u003esensitive to intense sweeteners\u003c\/strong\u003e — 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.\u003c\/p\u003e\n\u003cp\u003eAnd 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 \u003ca href=\"\/en\/collections\/boisson-energisante\"\u003eenergy drinks\u003c\/a\u003e section offers.\u003c\/p\u003e\n\n\u003ch2\u003eBolero or an electrolyte powder?\u003c\/h2\u003e\n\u003cp\u003eThe 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.\u003c\/p\u003e\n\u003cp\u003eBolero 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.\u003c\/p\u003e\n\u003cp\u003eAn \u003ca href=\"\/en\/collections\/electrolytes\"\u003eelectrolyte\u003c\/a\u003e 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.\u003c\/p\u003e\n\u003cp\u003eThe 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 \u003ca href=\"\/en\/collections\/boosters\"\u003epre-workouts\u003c\/a\u003e you should be looking at, not this.\u003c\/p\u003e\n\n\u003ch2\u003eFrequently asked questions\u003c\/h2\u003e\n\u003ch3\u003eHow many litres does a 9 g sachet make?\u003c\/h3\u003e\n\u003cp\u003eFrom 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.\u003c\/p\u003e\n\u003ch3\u003eDoes Bolero contain aspartame?\u003c\/h3\u003e\n\u003cp\u003eNo. 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.\u003c\/p\u003e\n\u003ch3\u003eDoes Bolero hydrate better than water?\u003c\/h3\u003e\n\u003cp\u003eNo, 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.\u003c\/p\u003e\n\u003ch3\u003eWhich flavour should you choose to start with?\u003c\/h3\u003e\n\u003cp\u003eThe 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.\u003c\/p\u003e\n\u003ch3\u003eCan it be used to flavour unflavoured amino acids?\u003c\/h3\u003e\n\u003cp\u003eYes, 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.\u003c\/p\u003e\n\u003ch3\u003eIs it suitable for children?\u003c\/h3\u003e\n\u003cp\u003eThe 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.\u003c\/p\u003e\n\u003ch3\u003eIs the composition the same across all flavours?\u003c\/h3\u003e\n\u003cp\u003eThe 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.\u003c\/p\u003e\n\n\u003ch2\u003eWhere can you buy Bolero Sugar-Free Drink?\u003c\/h2\u003e\n\u003cp\u003eEvery 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.\u003c\/p\u003e\n\u003cp\u003eAt 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.
