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 have mixed thoughts on this one. The pink lady apple is okay, but whewwww Pomegranate is SO vinegary! Hard to drink. It's an okay kombucha, but not my favorite brand out there. I do like that it's not overly sweet.

  • I love Health-ade! They have such a wide selection of flavors and I have yet to try one that I don't like. The carbonation is perfect and I love to drink them after meals. I swear they truly have improved my gut health.

  • It is the brand that I am always excited to buy.

    Some of the best flavors in the Kombucha game! The passion fruit and tangerine flavor is a real treat.

  • Love Kombucha, yet so few actually taste great. Health-Ade is always a safe bet. There are a few flavors that are not for me, but overall it is a good choice.

  • Favorite brand of kombucha. Best flavor is passionfruit tangerine

  • I absolutely love the bubbly rose flavor of this kombucha. I don’t notice any health benefits, but it is a nice non-soda option when you don’t want to drink plain water.

  • I actually really like these drinks but can’t stop myself from drinking the entire thing lol

  • Really great kombucha and fresh flavors!

    It can be a little pricey, but totally worth it for the high quality.

  • Really good kombucha! I've tried a few flavors and all have been yummy. Not super vinegary which is a flavor that i know some people don't like. The fruity flavors are really nice. 😊

  • I absolutely love this product it is one of my go-to brands.

  • Tried the Strawberry Vanilla RTD and honestly thought I was drinking a strawberry Fanta at first. The more you drink it, you notice the subtler notes of tea and vanilla, but this is a delicious strawberry soda.

    Can’t believe there’s no artificial sweeteners and only 6 grams of sugar - would never have guessed that given the flavor. With only 35 calories and added prebiotic fiber and antioxidants, this is a great better-for-you soda replacement

  • First tried this brand out at Costco, and since then have enjoyed the tangerine, ginger lemon, and cayenne cleanse ones. I use this kombucha as an occasional pick me up – It's light and refreshing, tastes great, but I find they can be a little toooo sweet for kombucha.

  • I love Health-ade and have been a customer for several years. They were one of the first widely available kombuchas on the market and are still available all over. They have a huge variety of flavors with delicious seasonal options. I can always rely on Health-ade to be consistently delicious and healthful at a reasonable price.

  • I really like this brand of kombucha. They have very good flavors and I appreciate that the sugar content is generally lower than with other kombucha brands. I also like that they have diversified a bit in products. I tried their cocktail mixers and they were delicious! My only complaint is that they are a bit pricey, but they are found on sale somewhat regularly.

  • Pretty sure that at one point, the Pink Lady Apple flavor made up 90% of my blood volume. The sugar content's low and it has very high quality packaging, is organic, is very affordable, and is very accessible. As with a lot of kombuchas, the actual flavor isn't as pronounced as it would be if it was a soda or juice. I can't say that the pink lady apple tastes strongly of apple, but it's just very nice. Also, it's not sour and vinegary like other brands.

  • Pink Lady Apple is my drink of choice. I love the flavor and acidity. Very refreshing, tart and a great alternative to a soda when you want a fun drink.
