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.

  • It's fine. I just can't get super excited about it. Like it's just very clear it's trying to be soda. Not for me!

  • Absolutely OBSESSED!! I love it, my kids love it, and even better that it's actually healthy. Strawberry lemonade is in a class all its own. I guess the best compliment I can give is that i use Poppi as a reward for my kids - little do they know that I'd let them drink it all day long regardless.

  • some flavors are better than others! my favorite is the raspberry rose soda. I'm not a fan of stevia in general but this is tolerable for me.

  • I love Poppi more for their flavors and branding but not so much for their prebiotic. Haven't tried any flavors that I don't like. It's a staple for a dinner party.

  • healthy soda? sign me up. I love Poppi and its mission to create better options! My favorite flavor has to be ginge lime! Next, I am trying the root beer and making a rootbeer float :)

  • In all honesty, I had the pleasure of meeting Allison, the founder of Poppi at a digital marketing conference. That's the first time I heard of poppi, and now it seems like they're everywhere, and for a good reason! The strawberry flavor is hands down my favorite, and Allison's story is truly inspiring for all business owners out there. Really great to see this brand grow and loveee the packaging!

    Received a free product from Poppi
  • I really enjoyed the flavors and how they are a prebiotic "healthier" soda.

  • It's an interesting concept but I think Kombucha (from various brands) already does a great job at replacing soda and these really didn't taste that great to me, unfortunately. 10/10 packaging though

  • I'm thoroughly impressed. I wasn't expecting much out of a can labeled "Prebiotic Soda," but I was blown away by their Strawberry Lemonade flavor. I'm not much of a soda drinker, but I'll definitely pick up a can of Poppi whenever the craving hits.

  • I tried the lemon-lime flavor and it's pretty close to sprite. The carbonation also wasn't too strong which sometimes bothers me. I think I would be able to tell the difference between this and sprite but for the healthier benefits, it's a good difference to me!

  • one of the first healthy sodas so ill give them that. this market is oversaturated now though and i don't love the use of stevia - pls do research into how stevia was a contraceptive for native people in the past!

  • I’ve been on a sober journey for 6 months. I’ve tried every “novelty” drink to keep it fun and interesting. This soda alternative is such a treat for me. The flavors are the best in this category. Strawberry Lemonade is my favorite.

  • Super adorable packaging but unfortunately I found these way too sweet. I tried a couple different flavors cause I wanted to see what all the hype was about but it wasn’t for me.

  • Some flavors are definitely better than others. I really liked the strawberry lemon one. It was crisp and flavorful. On the other hand, I didn't enjoy the cherry limeade one. It tasted like a cherry coke, which wasn't what I was expecting at all. I'll try some of the other flavors and update my rating if needed.

  • Not the biggest fan of Poppi sodas. The flavors are not as tasty as they appear. The packaging is super cute and attention grabbing but these are not my favorite soda alternatives.

  • I love a good soda but I love a healthier alternative even more! Poppi tastes amazing and looks so cool -- I can't get enough of their orange and ginger lime flavors! I hope they release more soon!

  • Taste was not very good, and why oh why does everyone have to use stevia?? Had an odd after tasted. Great idea, but I don't recommend.
