Reviews mention

  • Vibrant, balanced flavor variety
  • Crisp, effervescent mouthfeel
  • Distinctive, reusable glass packaging
  • Perceived gut-soothing benefits
  • Occasionally too sweet profiles
  • Sometimes sharp, vinegary aftertaste
  • Inconsistent carbonation retention
  • Narrow, awkward bottle opening

Health-ade earns largely positive reviews for flavorful, crisp kombucha that many say supports gut comfort and comes in distinctive, reusable glass bottles; Pink Lady Apple, Passion Fruit Tangerine, Ginger Lemon, Cayenne Cleanse, and Mint Limeade stand out. Reviews also flag drawbacks: sweetness and added sugar for some palates, occasionally strong vinegary or “funky” aftertaste, variable carbonation/fizz, and small or hard-to-open bottle mouths. Overall, the brand is considered good—often a go-to—with vibrant flavors and broad variety, but not ideal for those seeking low-sugar or ultra-mild kombucha.

  • I absolultely love Health-ade, especially the Passionfruit/tangerine and pink lady apple flavors. They used to be stocked for free at my work, but I started to buy them once I left. My only complaint is that the bottle is quite heavy so it's hard to carry around in my bag or purse.

  • Used to love but lots of added sugar. takes away from the health benefits I hope to get from having kombucha. Taste is good but would like to see less added sugar

  • This kombucha is one of my preferred brands, but I think their citrus flavors are a little too astringent to my liking. The pink lady apple flavor however is fantastic and every time I get a pack those go first.

  • I make my own fermented and probiotic drinks, but when I'm on the road or unable to make enough, this is my favorite brand! Its the perfect amount of carbonation and flavor - not too sweet, not too sour.

  • My go-to kombucha brand, highly recommend the Passion Fruit-Tangerine.

  • Out of all of the kombucha brands carried at most common grocery stores, Health-Ade is my favorite. All of the flavors I have tried taste great and are very clearly a fermented beverage and not glorified juice. Individual bottles are not cheap, but I think the quantity that comes in a bottle could be more than one serving. Less importantly, the bottles are unique and the branding is great with little groovy characters.

  • Love the kombucha. I love that they have different flavours to fit our needs.

  • I recently been trying new things and I really enjoy trying to grand. It was so freaking great.

  • Refrigerated kombucha is a must for healthy gut balance, and I love the variety of probiotic strains in Health-ade. The flavor is on the stronger side, so if you’re not used to drinking kombucha it’s a bolder one to try.

  • Love these kombucha! My fav is the pink lady apple. Smooth taste not too bitter like some kombuchas. I like to have one in the morning!

  • Love their kombucha. Tests amazing, great flavours!! Totally recommend to anyone who would like a most healthy alternative to regular sugary drinks.

  • I really like the variety of flavors that Health-ade offers! I would definitely buy it again.

  • I really enjoy all the different flavors of kombucha they sell! The carbonation is nice and it doesn’t taste *too* fermented. Overall big fan just wish it was a bit less expensive

    If they sold these in larger quantities for a discount that would be fantastic!

  • The pink lady apple and the pomegranate kombucha are my favorite kombucha‘s. We like to pour them in a wine glass and enjoy them as a special treat twice a week. I love the pink lady apple with Italian food and the pomegranate we almost have with pork.

  • Great Overall

    Overall, this is one of my favorite Kombucha brands. Really great variety of flavors and do love the packaging. One thing I do not love is that it's less fizzy than competitor brands - not necessarily a bad thing, just a personal preference.

  • I like how easy to find Health-ade has become- and really like some of the flavors as a once in a while treat. They're a little sweeter than I prefer in a kombucha, though I do like the bubbles. Overall, pretty good but my taste buds have moved on to more subtle flavors from different brands.

  • Health-ade was my kombucha-awakening. Passion Fruit Tangerine is my absolute fave! It has just the right amount of tart, sweetness and carbonation.

  • I really liked the flavors because they were palatable. Refreshing, delicious, and good for you. Nothing wrong with that!

  • My favorite kombucha on the market- their passion fruit one is outta this world! Such a great flavor. Love the branding to boot.

  • The Ginger Pineapple Belly Reset is my best friend!!!! Thanks for your contribution to society, I just put my bottles in an ice bath until its perfectly crisp cold and the its pure bliss!
