Reviews mention

  • Vibrant flavor variety
  • Refreshing fizzy mouthfeel
  • Lighter, cleaner ingredients
  • Eye-catching playful packaging
  • Lingering stevia aftertaste
  • Occasionally too sweet profile
  • Inconsistent soda dupes
  • Lower carbonation intensity

Poppi earns largely positive reviews as a tasty, lower-sugar soda alternative that many say curbs cravings, feels lighter on the stomach, and sometimes helps with bloating; favorites include Raspberry Rose, Orange, Ginger Lime, Doc Pop, Cherry Limeade, Classic Cola, and Root Beer. Reviews also flag weaknesses: a noticeable stevia/artificial aftertaste for some, occasional vinegary tang or sweetness that runs too high, less carbonation than expected, mixed success of cola/root beer “dupes,” and inconsistent alignment with claimed gut benefits.

  • For starters, I'm not a regular soda drinker so let's take this opinion with a grain of salt, shall we? I tried both the Strawberry Lemonade and the Watermelon, which were both just okay... In general, I do think that strawberry and watermelon are tough flavors to nail, but these tasted a bit too artificial for me. It's almost as if you asked a computer what they think strawberries taste like and then made a soda out of it. Does this make any sense? Anyway, I probably won't go out of my way to try any more of them, but do appreciate the fun design!

  • Love Poppi. Love the fizzy flavor that tastes just like regular soda, except it doesn’t bloat me up or make me feel lethargic. So tasty and refreshing.

    More flavor variety perhaps? And it is a little costly but I suppose that comes with the territory of better ingredients.

  • Tastes great, almost like a healthier version of Fanta/Sprite but without being too sugary.

  • I recently purchased Poppi at Whole Foods during a sale. I really enjoyed both flavors. It's definitely a sweeter drink than my usual carbonated flavored water. I love their marketing and would certainly try more flavors in the future. The vinegar taste is very very subtle and it was fun knowing I was providing some benefits to my gut by drinking it!

  • Love, love, love Poppi! My absolute favorite prebiotic beverage, and I've tried a lot! Great packaging, great flavors, great benefits.

    More flavors! And I'd love to buy 8 or 12-packs in retail stores like Whole Foods and Target.

  • The best probiotic soda-but-not-soda I've tried so far.

  • A refreshing, low-sugar drink offered in a variety of lovely flavors! I drank consistently for a few weeks and did not notice improvement in my gut health.

  • These taste great! The Dr. Pop tasted just like Diet Dr Pepper. I didn’t notice any drastic gut health changes but I only drink them once in awhile.

    Nothing

  • These are delicious! I have tried many different flavors and none have been too sweet. I love that I’m drinking something that is good for me that also tastes great.

    The packaging says to cut off the outer plastic to make the can more recyclable but there is no perforation. If there was a perforated portion that would be easier to peel it off. No other items for improvement!

  • I recently tried the Doc Pop flavor and it was so good! Brought me back the taste of Diet Dr. Pepper without the chemicals and icky feeling. Would love to buy more but the Cola flavors are sold out!

    A bit pricey for a 12oz soda

  • Great flavoring and love the fact it's low sugar and it's a prebiotic. A guilty pleasure without the guilt.

    Feedback

    No suggestions on improving the formula, but perhaps explore added packaging for those who want larger sizes?

  • Truly the best replacement for soda - I love the variety of flavors and it's such a great mid afternoon pick me up instead of coffee. I LOVE the strawberry lemon!!

    Feedback

    More carbonation - I personally love carbonation and love the refreshing benefits of it. Maybe also adding a cola flavor of some sort.

  • I found Poppi at Sprouts! It tastes great and is good for you. Orange is my go-to! Low sugar, low calorie & loaded with functional benefits. What could be better?

  • Cool design. Tasty and tastes healthy. Fresh!

  • Delicious flavors - not a single day where we don't have Poppi in our fridge.
