  • Vibrant fruit flavors lineup

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.

  • I’ve been seeing Poppi everywhere lately, so I decided to try the Strawberry Lemonade flavor and honestly, it’s pretty good! It has a refreshing, tangy taste with just the right amount of sweetness. You can definitely taste both the strawberry and the lemonade, and it’s super fizzy, which makes it feel like a treat instead of just a regular drink. What I like most is that it’s not overly sweet like soda. It’s more of a light, crisp flavor that’s perfect when you want something flavorful but not heavy. I also like that it has apple cider vinegar for gut health, but it doesn’t have that strong vinegar taste at all, which I was worried about). If I’m being honest, it’s on the pricier side for a single can, and I probably wouldn’t drink it every day just because of that. But for an occasional refreshing drink that actually makes you feel good after, it’s worth it.

  • I love this brand of healthy soda. It has very few calories, great flavors, and extra health benefits, such as the prebiotics. While the price is a bit more than traditional soda, I feel it is worth it for the health benefits.

  • I've tried a few flavors from this brand, and I can say that I like their sodas based on what I've had. The best one I've tried so far is their orange one. That one has less of the apple cider vinegar aftertaste than the others do. The apple cider vinegar doesn't bother me personally, but I can see how others might not be a fan of the aftertaste involved.

  • I love poppi! I bought these for my daughter who was digestion issues and it helped her stomach so much. They are pricey but definitely worth the benefits and they taste good. I’ve bought them in a variety of flavors now, it’s fun to try them all.

  • The flavor of Poppi is #1 for me when it comes to specialty or probiotic sodas. The brightly colored cans attracted me to the product and I chose the Strawberry Lemon as the first flavor to try and I loved it. It has a nice taste, good carbonation, and just enough tartness from the lemon. I would love to try all of the flavors next but the only downside is that each can is a little on the pricey side. My local store charged $2.65 a can, while I really liked Poppi, if I was going to buy soda to keep in the house for company, I will go for something more cost effective. The probiotic side effects didn't really bother me so I had no issues there.

  • I love Poppi! The flavors are great and I love that it sneaks in some probiotics! They also look really cute. My favorite flavor is the strawberry lemonade- it's my go-to when I want a sweet treat without having too many calories.

    I just wish I could buy them in more places than Target.

  • Tastes good! I tried the Raspberry Rose flavor. I think the packaging is really cute and summery.

    Not sure how to tell if there's a difference for my gut health. How many / how regularly would you be drinking these to feel a difference?

  • Poppi was my first introduction to soda alternatives. I like some of the flavors and I’m excited to try the new punch pop. I do think there are better soda alternatives on the market now. I’m pretty disappointed that Poppi sold out to Pepsi.

  • I really love Poppi. I’m a chronic regular shmegular diet soda drinker and I love that Poppi just tastes great. It doesn’t taste great for being a low sugar soda or in spite of the ACV. It really, truly is yummy and has a “normal” amount of carbonation.

  • I’m not a fan of water—yes, I know that’s a terrible confession for a health coach! But on the bright side, I’m always up for trying any remotely healthy drink to stay hydrated. Mediocre logic? Maybe, but it works for me! One of my favorites is Poppi Raspberry Rose. It’s sweet but not too sweet, with just 4 grams of sugar—not bad at all. It’s bubbly without being overwhelming and feels like a little indulgence. Plus, it’s hands down the easiest and tastiest way to get apple cider vinegar into my system!

  • I have tried pretty much every flavor Poppi has offered. I would recommend the variety packs as a first purchase to decide what flavors you like before committing to any flavor. Nothing is outstanding but it is a workable soda substitute.

  • There is stevia in this drink. Poppi tastes fairly plain, like a sparkling water should taste in my opinion. The bubbles were at a similar level to soda. I would prefer to not have stevia in my food or beverages due to personal prefrence and health reasons. The Stevia flavor did not come through on this product and there was no off-taste.

  • I wanted to like this because it's been everywhere on my feed and OF COURSE that Superbowl fiasco brought a lot of attention. I tried a few different flavors hoping to hit the jackpot but all I could taste was the stevia. I HATE stevia and the aftertaste SO MUCH. It's just not worth it! I'd rather drink flavored water with 0 sugar and 0 "natural" sweetners.

  • Overall a good product. It's more like soda than I thought it would be so if that's what you're looking for, you'll probably love it. I usually prefer unsweetened flavored sparkling water, but this one is sweet. The flavors are pretty accurate. I would (and have) recommend this to a friend.

  • IN LOVE!!! Not only with this brand’s marketing and presentation but there is real flavor and it tastes incredible. This is so worth the price and me carrying it around in a tote in philly on the walk back to my place lol. And poppi for me also adds an experience thanks to the amazing packaging and great flavor.

  • I don't really get the hype behind these. Cute packaging, but they don't taste that great, and aren't worth the price. If you put it in front of me, I'd drink it, but I'm pretty indifferent towards Poppi drinks.

  • I love Poppi!! As a gal who often has an upset tummy, poppi truly does help speed things up and settle he stomach. I love to drink it at night as a fun drinky that is not an alcoholic drink.

  • Very very very very sweet, like a sparkling juice with heavy emphasis on the juice. The carbonation department was still lacking for me :( raspberry rose ($2.50): 0/5 too sweet

    Feedback

    This tastes like Ice's (the big tall clear bottles) but healthier! I wasn't anticipating the sweetness so I was overwhelmed.

  • Super sweet and flavorful compared to a lot of the other "healthy" sodas, if that's what you're looking for. The flavors I tried tasted way more like just slightly carbonated fruit juices than soda. I also like they include ACV in their drinks.

    Feedback

    I don't like the use of Stevia. I'm someone whose stomach is sensitive to it and the affects the taste IMO

  • I tried the raspberry rose flavor of poppi. The rose wasn't overpowering and I didn't get much of a taste of the apple cider vinegar. My only issue was that I could taste the stevia. It would taste better without it.
