I tried nine different flavors of Poppi prebiotic soda.Ted Berg
- I tried all the flavors of Poppi prebiotic soda I could find and ranked them from worst to best.
- I was disappointed by a few of the flavors, like watermelon and strawberry-lemon.
It's no secret that prebiotic sodas have grown in popularity over the past couple of years.
In 2023, sales soared for popular brands like Poppi, which gained attention in 2018 after sealing a deal on "Shark Tank."
These carbonated drinks, which contain plant fibers that help good bacteria grow and thrive, claim to support things like gut health and blood-sugar regulation.
Still, I wanted to see if these sodas lived up to the hype. On a recent trip to my local supermarket, I bought all the Poppi prebiotic-soda flavors I could find.
Each 12-ounce can of soda contains under 25 calories, which is significantly less than what you'd find in the same-size serving of Coke or Fanta.
Here's my ranking of the flavors I tried, from worst to best.
