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 like Health-Ade because it has a lot of fun flavors and tastes great.

  • Pretty bomb especially the pink lady apple. Other flavors are so so but the pink lady apple makes up for it.

  • My favorite kombucha! A little sweeter than the other brands I drink. I love the flavors, acidity, the dark bottle that protects the contents from light, the shape of the bottle, and how easy it is to find. I grab one every time I see one.

  • I absolutely LOVE the varieties of flavors and the perfect amount of carbonation, but I do have to say, I wish they would make versions that have no sugar. The point of having a healthy gut is to do it without disruption of sugar if possible. Overall a good product.

  • Pretty average in terms of kombucha -- the store brand that may stores offer blow this out of the water

  • Health-are is a kombucha I can easily find in most mainstream grocery stores and pharmacies so it's a frequent go to. The flavors are consistent and standard if just a little sweet for my liking. I think the glass bottles are eco-friendly and great to reuse! The price is comparable if not cheaper than other options of similar quality on the market too.

  • I am what people call a "drink girl." At all times I have three drinks. Typically, water, something caffeinated, something sweet. This trio is absolutely necessary for productivity, mental health, and overall life satisfaction. With that being said, two things do not change - coffee and water. Every day this combo is the same generic component. What does change? the 3rd bev. The fun drink. The real life of the party. I try to change out #3 every day. You know, keep it interesting! However, we can not all be perfect and frequently things are repeated. For example, Health-ade makes the cut around once a week.... Yes, that frequently. The sweet, bubbly goodness not only adds the fun element better than most options, but it also makes my gut unbelievably happy. And (TMI) for someone with seriously chronic gut issues, it says a LOT for my gut to be happy. And this makes it happy.

  • Health-Ade Kombucha is a delicious and refreshing drink made with natural ingredients and probiotics. It's not too sweet and great for improving gut health. Highly recommended!

  • I hated kombucha until I tried this brand. I think they are super refreshing and a great “intro” to kombucha!

  • Pink lady apple is one of the best tasting kombuchas I’ve ever had but don’t love the higher sugar content

  • This brand of kombucha is one off my favorites.My very favorite flavor is the Pink Lady Apple oh em jeee lol thats literally what I always reach for at the store! Its refreshing & delicious & not so pricey!

  • Pink Lady Apple is a flavor I always reach for when at the grocery store. I enjoy most of their flavors and find that they aren't overly sweet.

  • This is goooood kombucha. I especially like Pink Lady Apple and the Tropical Punch flavors. The price isn't bad, especially since I often will see it on sale at the grocery store. I've never ordered direct, always bought from a grocery store. It's replaced another brand as my go-to kombucha.

  • Love these Health-ade Kombuchas! Great glass bottle + packaging. It's great seeing all the different flavors pop up in my local stores. Top tried flavors: Pink Lady Apple, Passion Fruit Tangerine, Ginger Lemon.

  • obsessed!!! this is the only brand of kombucha i will drink. the watermelon and pink lady are my favorites :) they have great seasonal flavors as well i previously had a subscription through their site, its a great deal and easy to manage, but i prefer to purchase them individually now since the variety packs are not my favorite combination of flavors.

  • LOVE Health Ade!! Kombucha is one of the favorite drinks and Heath-ade gets the flavors right every single time! It's also one of my go to's if I have a tummy ache or just haven't been eating the best.

  • I don't even like kombucha, but I love this!

    Some flavors are still icky.

  • I’ve purchased a couple of the flavor options over time and definitely prefer it over most kombucha options.

    Feedback

    Considering the taste of the competitors, I’d say this is a great tasting kombucha. I like to have it occasionally in the morning with breakfast or before a workout and it tastes great. I’ll say it’s pretty expensive like most kombucha products but if it’s something you’re willing to splurge on, I recommend it.

  • Good taste, could be lower in sugar. don't love that it's now owned by a former PepsiCo exec. but overall a good kombucha option!
