Getting kids to drink enough fluids during the day can feel like a never-ending battle. Luckily, Footy’s sugar-free drink sachets are coming to your rescue (and each sachet costs less than R10)! After all, plain water? Boring. Juice? Only good in small doses. Sodas? Even worse. But staying hydrated is critical – especially for active, growing kids. Health experts recommend a daily fluid intake of about 4 cups for toddlers, 5 – 8 cups for young children, and up to 11 cups for teens, depending on activity levels and the weather.
Here’s how to keep your kids sipping and smiling…
Why Footy’s Sugar-Free Drink Sachets Are the Ultimate Lunchbox Staple
No parent wants to stuff their child’s lunchbox with sugary drinks every day, but convincing kids to choose water over tastier options is no small feat. While fruit juice may seem like a healthier alternative, it still packs a serious sugar punch. Even 100% juice contains naturally occurring sugars that, when consumed in excess, can contribute to energy crashes and tooth decay. And regular sodas? Completely overloaded with additives, artificial flavouring, and high-fructose corn syrup.
Health organisations advise keeping added sugar intake below 10% of a child’s daily calories, but most fizzy and flavoured drinks far exceed that amount. That’s why Footy’s sugar-free drink sachets stand out. Our 15g sachets create 250ml of flavoured goodness – just enough for a single serving that tastes amazing while staying completely free from sugar, preservatives, and artificial junk.
Better Than Water, Without the Sugar Crash
One of the biggest hydration hurdles for kids is flavour boredom. While water is essential, most kids find it bland compared to store-bought drinks. Enter sugar-free cold drinks from Footy’s: full of bold fruit flavours without the overload of sugar or artificial additives. Pack a sachet in your child’s lunchbox, and they can easily mix it with water at school, ensuring they hydrate without fuss.
Plus, Footy’s powdered drinks go beyond standard refreshment. They’re packed with vitamin C and come in fun flavours like strawberry, grape, raspberry, and passion fruit, making hydration something kids actually look forward to.
Looking for School-Friendly Sugar-Free Sodas? These Are It!
When kids want the thrill of a fizzy drink, but you want to avoid sugar overload, Footy’s sugar-free sodas for kids always hit the sweet spot. Unlike traditional fizzy drinks, which often spill over with syrups and artificial additives, Footy’s sugar-free soda lineup delivers all the carbonation without the unhealthy extras.
For kids who love grape-flavoured drinks, sugar-free GrapeSoda is a must-try. And if they prefer a classic, creamy taste, Footy’s sugar-free cream soda (CreamSoda) is an absolute winner. These 300ml cans are perfect for lunchboxes, weekend treats, or even after-school refreshments – all while keeping sugar intake in check.
