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.

  • Poppi is a really refreshing drink that is low-sugar and good for the gut. I like all the flavors I've tried; they really taste good, and the ACV is tangy without being overwhelming.

    Try out a few flavors to find your favorite!

  • delicious flavors, definitely over priced.

    If you want a sustainable alternative to soda, this isn’t it. $2 for a small can, you can buy a 2 liter for that cost. Great marketing, but a bit elitist at this price.

  • These were some pretty tasty prebiotic sodas! What drew me first to try them was I ate a heavy meal and my tummy wasn't feeling too great. I saw these displayed and they were so colorful! I loved the many flavors they offered and had to try one. They taste great without any second flavor kicking you in the tastebuds!

  • I just find the taste of these and the flavors to be lacking compared to the competitors in the market - of which there are a lot of now. Tastes kinda fake to me.

  • I love Poppi as an option to have in the house or when I'm out as an alternative to water! I'm not a soda drinker so it's really nice to know this has probiotics that are GOOD FOR YOU! The Raspberry Rose is my absolute favorite flavor. Love to have one during dinner, pour it in a nice glass and feel like I'm having a "drink" - I'm a creature of habit so I love to stick with the flavors I know I truly enjoy.

  • I love the Cherry Limeade and Raspberry Rose. A great alternative to soda and more delicious than a flavored water.

  • On a flavor composition level I don’t enjoy this drink and tend to not reach for it in a store.

    Feedback

    I think the flavors could use a little innovation because they’re all lacking a bit and aren’t as refreshing or satisfying as others on the market.

  • I really loved the orange flavor, but wasn’t crazy about the raspberry rose.

    Feedback

    A little expensive

  • Poppi is a lovely prebiotic soda that I started drinking as an alternative to sparkling water and I've found it more satisfying and helpful for my tum-tum. There are TONS of flavors and I haven't tried all of them yet, but of those that I've had, they closely resemble the true flavor profile of the label (ex: the Cola flavor tastes like a nice Cola).

    Try a few flavors that you usually like the soda equivalent to see what works best for you.

  • As someone who likes to drink other things besides water, this is a great alternative. I love how much healthier it is than most targeted drinks these days, plus it tastes delicious! The strawberry lemonade is my absolute favorite!

  • Orange Poppi

    Feedback

    I first tried this product at a trendy cafe in my neighborhood and immediately wanted a supply for my fridge. My favorite is the orange. I like that it’s low in sugar and is good for gut health.

  • I was ready to love this product. I loved the design of the cans and am always looking for new ways to integrate probiotics in my life. However, these drinks had a taste that was unpleasantly artificial to me.

    Feedback

    If you don’t mind sugar replacements, you might like this drink more than I did.

  • One of my fave brands in this category + love the cute packaging. The strawberry lemonade is my absolute favorite, so I haven't tried out many of the others. Their pricing isn't too bad compared to other brands, but it isn't an everyday item for me, nor is it a fridge staple. I usually pick this up if I happen to be shopping in-person at a WFM.

  • LOVE! have tried a number of flavors, one of the best in this space if not the best

  • I originally bought Poppi to act as a substitute to alcohol as I have cut back my intake in that area significantly. I like the taste of Poppi drinks and every flavor I have tried so far has been good. I usually wait for them to go on sale at my local Sprouts, but I would certainly buy these regardless if they were on sale. Highly recommend as a great soda or alcohol alternative.

    I purchased Poppi to serve as a replacement to my weekly cocktails. This helps quite a bit as the flavor and sparkling water aspects are nice, without being high in calories. I also like the prebiotics that are in the soda. Nice taste and not too expensive.

  • I love Poppi! They have different flavors from other prebiotics drinks, my favorites are the raspberry rose and strawberry lemon with an occasional orange!

  • I usually like a sweet drink every now and then. I hate drinks that use Splenda or substitute sweeter. However, this is a great substitute and it does not have a weird taste or aftertaste. This is something I have definitely repurchased a few times now and I have no regrets.

    Feedback

    Love this overall, can't wait for them to expand the flavors. I definitely think this is a great sub for someone who regularly drinks sodas or sweet drinks.

  • Drinking a poppi orange soda has all the taste of a Fanta with none of the guilt! I love how flavorful poppi is - and how it doesn't taste artificial. And I feel good about drinking it!

    Feedback

    I wish there were more flavors that could serve as a replacement to other more traditional sodas. Ollipop has a cola and a root beer option, which Poppi is missing.

  • I really love Poppi and will select it 8/10 times over a soda alternative when I'm loooking for a canned drink! Orange and Strawberry-Lemon are my favorite flavors. Like that in most cases, they're not trying to replicate a traditional soda flavor, but rather introduces new flavors.
