Welcome back to Part II of our special feature celebrating the SodaStream Tribe Leaders. In this installment, we dive deeper into what our Tribe Leaders, Natalie Dau (@rockstararms), Maxine Tan (@mtyfx), Ben Goh (@bennybroflex), Noah Lim (@noah.lim), Michelle Sng (@michsng) & Shermaine Tung (@shhermy), love most about SodaStream, how it adds sparkle to their daily lives, and their most creative SodaStream hacks. Let their stories inspire you to reimagine hydration and infuse a touch of fun and creativity into your everyday routines.
Q: What do you LOVE MOST about SodaStream, and how does it fit into your "New Year, New Me" goals?
Natalie: For me it’s not really about “New Year, New Me,” I just continue on from the previous year and SodaStream plays a part in that—in making sure I choose healthy always and drink wisely.
Maxine: I love how SodaStream makes staying hydrated exciting. Adding a fizzy twist to my hydration routine motivates me to drink more water, which is crucial for my active lifestyle as a cyclist and runner. It fits into my “New Year, New Me” goals by promoting sustainability and wellness—two values I hold dear.
Ben: Convenience whenever I want it and how I can mix it up with different flavors and fruits to pair with! 2025 is going to be a year I will break past my previous lowest body fat percentage (BF%) of 11% with a better hydration plan.
Noah: Love the design and variety of drink options.
Michelle: What I love most about SodaStream is its ability to transform plain water into a delightful, bubbly experience. This encourages me to drink more water, aligning perfectly with my "New Year, New Me" goals of maintaining a healthy lifestyle and staying adequately hydrated, which is essential for my training and overall well-being.

Shermaine: Environmentally and pocket friendly! This year I’m trying to cut down on bubble tea not just because it’s sweet but it’s also expensive. So having something thirst-quenching that is healthy and cheap is a win-win for my wallet and body.
Q: How does SodaStream help you maintain healthier habits or add a little sparkle to your everyday life?
Natalie: Keeping healthier habits is such an important part of my life, and SodaStream plays a big part in that. Definitely the sugar-free drink mixes are a must in our house. Our whole family loves them, and we wouldn’t choose anything else!
Maxine: SodaStream has transformed hydration into a fun and flavorful experience. I always have sparkling ready bottles in the fridge, which keeps me consistent with my water intake, and especially after long rides or training sessions—I crave cold sparkling water. The Fizz&Go has been a game-changer for traveling—it ensures I always have my sparkling water on hand, wherever I go.
Ben: I love the Fizz&Go set because of how it keeps my sparkling water ice cold for a whole long day, especially when I'm packed with PT Sessions and Training Sessions between.
Noah: I use the ART SodaStream maker to have a drink of sparkling water instead of sweet drinks.
Michelle: SodaStream makes hydration more enjoyable, which helps me maintain healthier habits by increasing my daily water intake. The option to create different flavored sparkling waters allows me to indulge in tasty beverages without added sugars or calories.

Shermaine: Fizz&Go allows me to carry cold sparkling water anywhere I go, for hours, so I don’t have the urge to buy a cold sugary drink outside to quench my thirst!

Q: What’s the most creative way you’ve used your SodaStream that your followers might not expect?
Natalie: The most creative way I have used it is to add the Diet Cola flavor and then a scoop of ice cream—you’ve got an old-school float as a special treat dessert.

Maxine: During the recent festive season, I used my SodaStream to fizz lychees and added them to a special cocktail. My guests were absolutely perplexed by how I managed to make the lychees so fizzy—it was such a fun conversation starter and a unique twist to festive beverages!

Ben: Try it with your pre-workout drinks! You won’t regret it ;)
Noah: To make recovery drinks (e.g., Magnesium).
Michelle: I’ve not tried anything too crazy with my SodaStream. Once, I tried making coffee with it, but it wasn’t quite to my liking. I did enjoy my fizzy honey matcha though!

Shermaine: Make a sparkling water popsicle! There was one time I was feeling a little bored and adventurous, so I froze sparkling water with chopped strawberries and blueberries into a popsicle mold. It was super refreshing but there was not much taste, so I’ll probably try it out with sparkling water and orange juice next time.
