  • Vibrant, flavorful profiles

  • Noticeable stevia aftertaste
  • Inconsistent flavor execution
  • Occasionally low carbonation

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.

  • Poppi has really blown me away. I have tried SO many different alternative sparkling drinks in the search for my unicorn and Poppi is it. The packaging is so fun and the product tastes delicious. My favorite was the ginger lime!

  • Yum! I have not yet tried a flavor I didn't like. The cherry lime-aid is exceptional! I love that these drinks have prebiotic ingredients, apple cider vinegar, and low sugar. They are a bit more expensive, but the quality is high and the experience of drinking one makes it more of a "treat" than drinking a regular soda. It might not be for you if you are a regular soda drinker that is looking for a replacement, as this might be an expensive way to cut back.

  • I'm beyond obsessed with this brand. Everything from the taste of their drinks, to their mission, all the way down to their branding and website design. I was a bit hesitant when I first purchased wondering how close of a taste they could get to pops like Coke and Dr Pepper but it is incredible how close they got the taste, but made it a healthier alternative. The only downside is that they are pricey so they are only a once in a while treat for me.

  • I absolutely can't speak enough about Poppi. My go-to flavors are ginger and strawberry. They're perfect for when you want some a little sweet but don't want to feel like you've cheated on a good streak of eliminating calories or sugar intake. It's the perfect sweetness when you're craving something extra.

  • Poppy's prebiotic drinks are a game-changer for gut health. These refreshing beverages not only quench your thirst but also nourish your body with a powerful dose of prebiotics. The combination of delicious flavors and functional ingredients makes Poppy a standout choice. Each sip feels like a step towards a healthier digestive system, thanks to the carefully selected prebiotic blend. The natural ingredients and absence of artificial additives add to the appeal, making Poppy an excellent choice for those seeking a tasty and gut-friendly drink.

  • I'm not a huge fan of sodas but I really enjoyed these flavors.!

  • These are really good. I like that there isn't as much sugar and theres less calories. The flavor options are pretty good. I think the price isn't bad for what you get.

  • I love Poppi! It's one of my go-tos for getting a healthier carbonated beverage during my day-to-day. I love the flavor options, especially the ginger lime, which I would recommend to anyone who is a kombucha lover. They make some health claims that may be confusing to some who don't know the difference between PREbiotic and PRObiotic, but the drinks are very delicious anyway. Bonus points for the low sugar and fun branding!

  • I was very excited to try this after so many good reviews from friends, however.. I was not very impressed. Maybe I just didn’t get a good flavor, but still want to try the grape but hesitant after my first experience.

  • Gosh! What a fresh taste. We absolutely love poppi its like the cuter sister of la croix.

  • I don’t like that it poses as a health drink when it has so much sugar. Yes, it has prebiotics, and that’s cool. But added sugar, especially in liquid form, is not good for you. Most flavors also have caffeine.

  • I appreciate the mission of Poppi with less sugar while gaining prebiotics. Flavors are just okay.

  • So good! The flavors are yummy and light and doesn’t make me feel sick like other sodas. Trying to figure out if the pre-biotics actually help you like intended, but overall a great alternative to sugary sodas!

  • I love this brand and all the flavors of soda they have. First pick this up at a friends house and have been drinking it ever since it was a great way for me to illuminate sugar for my diet.

  • I can't speak for the gut health benefits/properties of Poppi. I first picked it up as an alternative to traditional soda. It has tremendously helped me cut out soda from my diet. Poppi is one of the few brands in its niche that I actually enjoy. The rest I have not found to be enjoyable especially if you are looking for something to replace soda in your diet. All the flavors I have tried so far have been great and it is pretty easy to find Poppi in the grocery store.

  • Stick to the fruit flavors!! Super yummy and the stevia taste is not as pronounced as other similar brands. But yes stick to fruit flavors as the cola flavors are not the best

  • Tiktok made me do it and I am happy for it. It totally lives up for the hype. Tried 4 different flavors and love them all the Ginger lime is number one. Tastes just as the ingredients and the branding is beautiful. A must
