Soda Without All The Additives

Picture this… it is a hot summer day, you are sitting by the pool, and you are craving a cool refreshment.

A cold, crisp soda sounds perfect to your taste buds, but you don’t want to consume all the added sugar that comes with it. I have the perfect drink for you!

What Is It?

According to their website, Poppi is a prebiotic soda found to have benefits such as improved immunity and gut health, but also lower cholesterol, stabilize blood sugar, and increase energy. Poppi drinks are sold at Publix, Target, and Amazon. With flavors ranging from Classic Cola to Strawberry Lemon, there is a flavor for each unique taste bud. No matter the flavor, the calorie count is 25 and below with sugar contents of 5 grams or less.

Real Ingredients

Additives are a “no-no” in Poppi. All the ingredients are real and fresh. One of the main ingredients in Poppi soda is apple cider vinegar. Apple cider vinegar has been a natural health remedy for centuries. Poppi rose to the occasion by adding approximately one tablespoon to each soda. Because apple cider vinegar has such a strong flavor, it might be a slight setback. Trust me on this, the soda flavor completely masks the bitter apple cider vinegar taste.

Digestion

Poppi’s natural prebiotics help aid digestion. The prebiotics in the soda encourage healthy bacteria growth. This is a major benefit because the prebiotics feed the probiotics that help the body digest.

Real Talk

This drink has taken over the breakroom at work. Each day my coworkers and I are excited to crack open a can and sip on a cold, refreshing Poppi while we munch on our lunches. It truly has become my favorite drink. The flavor is unmatched. Don’t believe me? Try it yourself! Check out their website to learn more, here.

Ditch the sugar and additives— enjoy the benefits and flavor of Poppi! 

Be well, Auburn.
