  • Vibrant, flavorful profiles

Poppi earns largely positive reviews as a satisfying soda alternative that tastes close to the real thing—standouts include Raspberry Rose, Strawberry Lemon, Orange, Ginger Lime, Doc Pop, Classic Cola, and Cherry Limeade—while many praise the light, crisp fizz and perceived gut-friendly prebiotic/ACV benefits. Reviews also flag weaknesses: a noticeable stevia or “diet” aftertaste in some flavors, variability by flavor (cola/root beer polarizing), occasional flatness or low carbonation, and that several drinkers don’t feel meaningful gut effects.

  • Wonderful alternative to regular soda and all the nasty ingredients. Wonderful flavors and kids love them. Fun, recyclable packaging and easy to find in a lot of stores. Love that they are lower in sugar.

  • Poppi is a solid alternative to traditional sodas if you're looking to cut down on sugar while still enjoying a fizzy drink. The prebiotic soda has a unique flavor, and I appreciate the health benefits it offers with its digestive support. The flavors are refreshing, but some, like the Apple Cider Vinegar one, can take a little getting used to—they’re definitely not as sweet or fruity as regular sodas. I like that it has minimal sugar and the added bonus of probiotics, but I wish the taste was a little more balanced. It’s a good option if you’re looking for a healthier soda alternative, but it may not be for everyone. Overall, Poppi is a nice option to try, but there’s room for improvement in flavor variety and smoothness.

  • I can’t say enough good things about Poppi! The flavors are absolutely amazing – crisp, refreshing, and not overly sweet. It’s the perfect balance of taste and health benefits, thanks to the added prebiotics and apple cider vinegar. My favorite is the [insert your favorite flavor here, like Raspberry Rose or Strawberry Lemon]! Not only does it taste incredible, but it also makes me feel great – lighter and more refreshed after drinking it. Plus, the sleek can design makes it fun to drink and share with friends. If you’re looking for a delicious, low-calorie drink that supports gut health, Poppi is a must-try! Highly recommend grabbing a few and seeing which flavor you love most!

  • My wife and I went cold turkey on soda for our New Year’s Resolution and about nine months in made an exception for Poppi. It’s so perfect; it scratches the itch for a fizzy, sweet beverage when seltzer won’t cut it, and I like the flavors (mostly the fruit ones). It’s good stuff! Just don’t get carried away thinking it’s completely harmless or anything.

  • Love this product as an alternative to soda, especially allowing me to improve my gut health! I especially like the emon-lime and fruity flavored sodas.

  • Heard about this line of drinks from a friend who absolutely raved about them! Definitely an enjoyable carbonated beverage and good for you! Flavors weren't my absolute favorite, but for the healthiness aspect ( pre- and probiotics-wise), would purchase again!

  • These taste really good and look gorgeous! I love the fact that they have multiple flavors to choose from and that they're low-calorie. They also weirdly make me feel lighter and un-bloated after drinking them.

  • Popi is such a tasty drink; it's packed with **prebiotics**, which are great for your gut health. If you’re new to the term, prebiotics essentially feed the good bacteria in your gut. Poppi prides itself on using real fruit, and you can definitely taste the difference. There are no artificial sweeteners or preservatives, which is a huge plus for those of us trying to keep our diets clean and our bodies happy.

  • I tried the strawberry lemonade and I was so pleasantly surprised! It was very flavorful. It wasn’t too sweet but wasn’t too bitter. I’d definitely buy in the future.

    Received a free product from Poppi
  • I think Poppi is fantastic for those who like soda without the guilt of having too much sugar! I love the design of the can as well!

  • Love the packaging and low-sugar concept. The taste is not convincing enough to give up on traditional soda. The product is falling into that trap of healthier = weaker. There are so many ways to provide for real full-bodied healthy taste without completely watering down the taste. The taste excuse is just an excuse for not wanting to take on the complex challenge. Don't mean to sound harsh, but a lot of these 'new' brands get to market quickly and have fantastic packaging, but the value and the veracity of the product are just not standing up to the mission. It's going against the idea of a cleaner, healthier planet and people ... it's just more, faster stuff.

  • let me start off by saying that i cannot stand the taste of artificial sweeteners. i will say poppi is slightly less sweet compared to olipop, and it tastes more kombucha-y due to the apple cider vinegar addition. still, the taste of the stevia alone was enough to put me off. if you’re looking for a soda replacement, then poppi is a good alternative. i was looking for a light refreshment similar to a seltzer but with more flavor, and was disappointed. i bought a can for the hype, but won’t be repurchasing another.

  • I loved the flavor I tried - Strawberry Lemon! It was so tasty, refreshing, and not too sweet. Really looking forward to trying more flavors. It's hard to distinguish the difference between prebiotic soda brands like Poppi and Olipop. Both are equally amazing in my opinion, and the main difference is the range of flavors available at each brand.

  • I love a couple of the flavors, but some of them can definitely get vinegary tasting and not quite like a soda. But the rose flavor and the doc flavor are delish!!

  • These were very tasty! A little too sweet for my liking, but the flavors were interesting and different, which was a nice shake up.

  • I’ve tried the Poppi Orange Soda. I can’t speak to the health benefits per se, however as far as low calorie sodas go I found theirs to be very pleasant. The artificial sugar taste is still there but not too prominent.

  • Absolutely love Poppi. I think they are pretty similar to ollipop with mainly the flavors being the big difference between them.

  • This is such a cool idea for a product. I love that when I have a soda it can be healthy. That being said, there are some flavors that are better than others and could use a little work.
