Reviews mention

  • Vibrant fruit flavors lineup
  • Crisp, fizzy carbonation
  • Playful, colorful packaging
  • Lighter, refreshing profile
  • Lingering stevia aftertaste
  • Inconsistent soda dupes execution
  • Occasional low carbonation
  • Mixed gut-health results

Poppi earns largely positive reviews for delivering a satisfying soda substitute with vibrant flavors like Raspberry Rose, Doc Pop, Cherry Limeade, Ginger Lime, and Orange, plus a crisp fizz and fun, colorful cans. Reviews also flag real drawbacks: a noticeable stevia/artificial aftertaste for many flavors, mixed success with cola/root beer dupes, occasional flat/low carbonation notes, and inconsistent or unnoticeable gut-health benefits for some drinkers.

  • good flavor variety and taste, pretty affordable

    Feedback

    could have more flavors

  • I'm OBSESSED with Poppi. Seltzer isn't great for my stomach so the addition of prebiotics is really helpful for me. Especially when I get a soda craving, I love having these on hand to help with that! So many great and tasty flavors too!

    Feedback

    Kind of expensive

  • I love the packaging - grabbed them from Whole Foods! Often on sale at my local one. I was hoping the flavor would be a little less sweet, maybe more along the line of Seltzer - the watermelon was very refreshing but tasted so much like sugar. Overall, as a soda, I think it tastes good. As a regular drink, was too sweet!

  • I tried the lime, orange, and strawberry flavors, and really liked them all. They were tangy and not too sweet, and filled the craving when I wanted something other than water. I also think the packaging & the colors are really fun, and they're often on sale at Whole Foods.

    They talk a lot about prebiotics and health benefits, and I'm not sure I totally believe that they're actually good for my gut. They just seem less sugary than soda to me!

  • Poppi has a good concept - soda with prebiotic and less sugar. The flavors are fruit based and fun to drink alone. The ingredients somehow taste a bit artificial to me, though. It is fun to try, but may not work so well for people with sensitive palates.

  • As with other products in this category, I appreciate the lower added sugar and healthier ingredients, via the inclusion of prebiotics, than traditional soda. However, I remain skeptical as to whether or not the healthier ingredients are in a high enough quantity so as to truly impact health.

  • Love Poppi so much, I just wish it was more affordable. The flavor selection is amazing, and the orange creamsicle tastes better than any other orange cream soda that I have tried. Give it a try! It's worth it.

  • Honestly, I think all healthy disorder is overrated. They don’t really taste good but they try to make it seem like it’s healthy. I would probably never purchase again. I feel like it was a waste of money.

  • I love the tasty and fun flavors that Poppi has. I have been loving the raspberry right now. I feel great about drinking it and feel like I am doing good for my gut health. It’s the perfect refreshment after work!

  • I enjoy Poppi as a lower sugar alternative to traditional soda when I would like something with more flavor than water or sparkling water. The prebiotics and fiber are added benefits, though the jury is still out on if they are in a high enough volume to actually impact gut health.

  • I love the design of the cans and when I see them I always want to try a new flavor. All of the colors so fun and upbeat. I like the concept of a prebiotic soda. Unfortunately, I never really like the flavors much. I'll keep trying though.

  • I’m not sure why this drink is very popular. To me it tastes like soda and is way too sweet to be a healthy beverage to consume daily. I know that us has prebiotics, but there healthier alternatives to this drink.

  • I was obsessed with Poppi when I first tried it a few years ago and it was the first or maybe one of the first prebiotic drinks on the market. Since then, a lot of new and better ones have been released that I much prefer.

  • These are the best soda alternative drinks around. They literally taste like a treat and I love having them in the afternoons as a pick me up when I’m working from home the flavors are all amazing and I never get bored of them.

  • I don't get the hype. Poppi tastes fine, but when you compare it to things like Olipop, Wildwonder, any old kombucha, and etc, Poppi doesn't deliver a lot. Poppi only has 2g of fiber, while Olipop and wild wonder have 5-9g. Kombucha has probiotics. All Poppi has is ACV which has limited efficacy

  • I stand by the rose flavor but they’re others have an artificial flavor to them that I can’t personally get around. And I picture the people who found pond scum in their can everytime I drink one so typically don’t.

  • Poppi is a cool idea — a gut-friendly soda with prebiotics and low sugar, wrapped in cute, colorful packaging. Some flavors are genuinely refreshing and tasty, like the Raspberry Rose or Classic Cola. Others come off a bit too vinegary or artificial, depending on your taste. It’s a fun alternative to regular soda, but not all the flavors land, and it’s a bit pricey for what it is. Worth trying, but not a must-have!

  • I don't get why everyone is so obsessed with Poppi. I think it taste terrible and is not worth the hefty price. I do like their packaging, the bright colors really catch your eye.

  • I tried it because of the hype and I really don't understand what it's all about. I really couldn't get through the taste. I tried the strawberry lemon and the stevia was potent. It's not something I would purchase in the future. I also think it's expensive for a drink can. I'll give it one star for the bright graphics.
