Panda Express Sanzo Lychee Sparkling Water

Sanzo Lychee Sparkling Water is stocked at selected Panda Express locations. Sanzo is a sparkling water brand built around Asian fruit flavors, which makes it a notably better fit for this menu than a generic soda.

Lychee is floral, delicate and distinctly Asian, and in a sparkling water format it arrives with little or no sugar depending on the product. The carbonation and the light fruit note clean the palate between bites of heavily sauced food, which is precisely what the sweet sodas fail to do.

Panda Express publishes its full nutrition panel for national items, and this drink runs regionally, so no verified calorie figure appears here rather than an estimate. Sparkling waters generally carry few or no calories, unlike the fruit sodas on the same fountain such as Fanta Orange at 410 calories. The can label carries the exact figure for this one, and it is worth reading since sparkling water products vary from zero to lightly sweetened.

It suits anyone who wants flavor without sugar, and it pairs particularly well with the spicier dishes like Hot Orange Chicken at 550 calories. Availability is limited to selected stores; the full lineup is on the Panda Express drinks menu.
