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.

    The best prebiotic soda brand, IMO. Flavors are delicious - I'm personally partial to Raspberry Rose and Ginger-Lime while my husband likes the more traditional soda flavors. Doc Pop also gets an honorable mention for tasting just like Dr. Pepper, yet somehow better. Also of course obsessed with the packaging.

  • i absolutely love poppi! their flavors are great, the packaging is fun, and i feel good drinking it.

    Feedback

    i def wish they had wider distribution because it can be tough to find sometimes.

  • Love the dr pop, cola and root beer flavors!! Not a pop drinker but love these as an afternoon pick me up!

    Feedback

    Not a fan of the fruity flavors, they seem to have a stronger artificial sweetener aftertaste

    Yummy drinks. Though if you don’t like the taste of fake sugar you won’t enjoy these because I can taste the difference. Not sure if they actually do anything

  • I'm not typically a soda-pop girlie, but Poppi is honestly revolutionary!!! At my old job I worked on a project for a series of brand events that were sponsored by Poppi, so I got to try every flavor. I don't know that I would have thought to try them on my own, (though the cute packaging might have reeled me in!) but I'm so glad I tried it because it's SO GOOD! The flavors are amazing and I love that it supports the gut. I love telling people about it whenever I see it in the wild!

  • The flavors left me wishing for either a soda or a seltzer—not their in-between creation. The lack of sugar makes it feel like I'm drinking watered down soda.

    The flavor could be sweeter/bolder.

  • I tried the Strawberry Lemon flavor of Poppi's prebiotic sodas and overall I liked it. The strawberry lemon flavor is spot on, if not a little muted on the lemon. You can taste the stevia in it but I didn't find this to be a major issue. I would have preferred to see the juices higher up on the ingredient list (note: organic apple cider vinegar is the #2 ingredient after sparkling filtered water so maybe there is some weight loss benefit) but overall the ingredient list is pretty healthy. I'm not sure I would buy this particular flavor again but if offered, I would drink it and I would be open to trying other flavors.

  • I wasnt sure what to expect but the flavor I tried was really good! Definitely a healthy alternative to soda!

  • Delicious drinks with great ingredients!! Can't say I know a lot of good for you sodas with prebiotics and low sugar!

  • Every flavor of Poppi is delicious and a great alternative to regular soda, Raspberry Rose is my personal favorite. They definitely help with some stomach issues.

    It is a premium soda so cost is definitely a factor, however it is worth it on days when you want a beverage with benefits.

  • I was hesitant, but I’ve picked up this more than once on a Whole Foods run. I don’t love the flavor variety. However, I’ve really really enjoyed the flavors that I have enjoyed. If want a true soda flavor or a one-for-one alternative, you might want to buy one and see how you feel. It definitely tastes like something else, like it’s own thing. However, the Orange flavor is good one to try, I’d say. I love the fun and colorful packaging, I think it speaks to being somewhere between a fruit drink and soda

  • Love these drinks! Great taste and is good for your gut, doesn't get better than that! At first I was hesitant due to the price but 1000% worth it!

  • These tasted decents, the flavors are interesting. I would recommend trying a healthy alternative, which these are good.

  • Good, not great. I wish I could have loved these, but there are so many others on the market - this one didn't cut it for me.

    Taste, flavoring.

  • I tried the ginger lime and it was delicious!! Definitely a nice treat but I didn’t notice any improvement in my gut. No harm no foul, it was yummy

    Price

  • The flavors are tasty and overall i've found the price point to be pretty reasonable ($2.50 a can). I especially love the cherry lime flavor. I'm not really sure if the prebiotic claim is bogus, but the flavor and calorie count make it worth it anyway

  • Unique flavors that satisfy a sweet tooth or bubbly drink craving. A great addition to a meal or snack that has fewer ingredients than soda and less sugar than kombucha.
