Sugar free drinks in convenient portion sticks
Sugar free drinks from INSTICK are made from soluble drink powder packed in individual portion sticks. Simply add the contents of a stick to the recommended amount of liquid and mix well. Depending on the product, you can prepare your drink with water, sparkling water, milk, a plant based drink or another suitable base listed in the preparation instructions.
INSTICK offers 50 flavors across several different ranges. You can choose from classic fruit flavors, iced tea, milk and dessert inspired varieties, Sport Active, Energy and Extracts with plant extracts. This variety makes it easy to choose a drink for different moments of the day and to keep several flavors at home without having to prepare a large quantity in advance.
The individual stick format is practical at home, at work and while travelling. Each portion is already measured, so there is no need for a scoop or kitchen scale. Preparation amounts can vary between products, which is why the instructions on each pack should always be followed.
A simple way to prepare a drink whenever you want one
Each stick contains a measured amount of drink powder. Pour the contents into a bottle, glass, shaker or jug, add the recommended amount of liquid and mix until the powder has dissolved. A closed bottle can be gently shaken, while a spoon works well for preparation in a glass or jug.
The format is especially useful if you enjoy changing flavors. You can keep several options together and decide what to prepare at the moment you want a drink. One day you may choose a classic fruit flavor, another day iced tea, and later something from the milk range or Extracts.
Different INSTICK products are designed for different quantities of liquid. Some sticks are intended for a personal bottle, while other products can be prepared in a larger amount. The correct amount is always shown with the individual product.
Explore the different INSTICK ranges
The classic range includes a broad selection of familiar fruit and other flavors that are mainly prepared with water. The iced tea range combines fruit flavors with black or green tea extract, depending on the product.
The milk range includes flavors inspired by chocolate, coffee, vanilla, caramel, nuts and desserts. Depending on the product, these powders can be mixed with milk, a plant based alternative, water or another recommended base.
Sport Active is the range for sports drinks with electrolytes and vitamins. Energy is a separate range containing caffeine, taurine and vitamins. These products have different compositions and purposes, so it is useful to choose according to the ingredients and preparation instructions rather than simply by flavor.
Extracts combines plant extracts with fruit components. Products in this range can be prepared hot or cold according to their instructions. Mix packs are also available for anyone who would like to try several flavors before choosing individual favorites.
How to choose sugar free drinks that suit you
A good place to start is the type of drink you want to make. If you normally use cold water, the classic range or iced tea may be the most relevant place to begin. If you prefer milk or a plant based drink, the milk range offers flavors created for that style of preparation.
You can then choose according to flavor. Some people prefer fruit and citrus options, while others enjoy iced tea, chocolate, vanilla, coffee or more unusual combinations. With a large selection available, there is no need to settle on a single flavor immediately.
It is also worth checking how much drink one stick makes. This helps you choose a product that fits the bottle or glass you normally use. The product page and packaging also show the ingredients and preparation method, so you know exactly how to prepare each option.
Preparing INSTICK with still or sparkling water
For most water based products, preparation is straightforward. Fill a bottle or glass with the recommended amount of cold water, add the powder and mix well. If you are using a bottle, close it securely and shake gently until the powder has dissolved.
For sparkling water, dissolve the powder first in a small amount of still water. Then add the sparkling water gradually. This makes mixing easier and helps reduce excess foam. A sealed bottle containing sparkling water should not be shaken strongly.
Some INSTICK products can also be prepared as hot drinks. The powder should not be heated above 120 degrees Celsius. Always follow the preparation method for the specific product you are using.
Sweeteners and ingredients
Sugar free drinks prepared from INSTICK powders according to the instructions contain no sugar. Different ranges use different sweeteners. The classic range and iced tea use sucralose and acesulfame K. The milk range uses sucralose. Extracts uses steviol glycosides from stevia.
The exact ingredients vary between products, so the ingredient list for each flavor is important. Anyone with a sensitivity to a particular ingredient or specific dietary preferences should check the information for the product they choose.
All INSTICK drink powders are vegan. This applies across the drink powder range, while the final prepared drink will of course also depend on the liquid or other ingredients you add yourself.
More than just drinks
INSTICK powders are not limited to sugar free drinks. Suitable flavors can also be used to add flavor to coffee, milk, plant based drinks, yoghurt, quark, cake creams and other desserts.
Chocolate can be used in a pudding or cream, fruit flavors can be mixed into yoghurt, and vanilla, caramel or nut flavors can be used in a variety of dessert ideas. This gives one stick more than one possible use and makes it easy to experiment with flavors beyond a bottle or glass.
When using INSTICK in recipes, take the characteristics of the individual product into account and do not heat the powder above 120 degrees Celsius.
Developed and made in Germany
INSTICK products are developed and manufactured in Germany and undergo quality control. Each stick contains a measured portion and remains sealed until you are ready to use it.
This combination of portioned preparation and a wide selection of flavors makes the range easy to explore. You can choose a flavor, prepare it according to the instructions and then decide which products you would like to keep as regular favorites.
Storage of the powder and prepared drink
Store the powder in a dry place protected from heat and moisture. If an opened pack is not used completely, close it tightly before storing it again.
Heat or moisture can occasionally cause the powder to form small lumps or become slightly firm. Gently knead the closed stick or loosen the powder before preparation. This does not affect the quality or flavor of the product.
If a prepared drink is not consumed immediately, keep it refrigerated and use it within two days. The best before date for the dry powder is shown on the stick or the relevant outer packaging.
Find the INSTICK flavors that fit your routine
The INSTICK catalog makes it easy to explore sugar free drinks by flavor, type and preparation method. You can begin with familiar fruit flavors, discover iced tea, try milk inspired options or explore one of the more specialized ranges.
Browse the available products, check the preparation instructions and choose the flavors that interest you. Portion sticks make it easy to explore the range gradually, switch between different drinks and find the INSTICK options you enjoy preparing again and again.
