So, I must admit, I’m a bit late to the healthy soda party and I had no idea that less sugary sodas existed besides the Coke Zero types from big-box brands but when I stumbled upon Olipop I have to say, I was impressed. The folks at Olipop were kind enough to send my a 12-can Sample Pack that contained three Classic Rootbeer, Vintage Cola, Classic Grape, and Tropical Punch cans.
What is Olipop exactly? Olipop is a brand that produces a line of innovative, health-conscious sodas. Their beverages are crafted with a blend of natural ingredients, including botanical extracts and functional additives like prebiotic fiber, to offer a healthier alternative to traditional sodas. Olipop’s sodas are low in sugar and free from artificial sweeteners, making them a popular choice among consumers seeking delicious, guilt-free refreshments. The brand is known for its commitment to wellness and its dedication to creating flavorful sodas that prioritize both taste and nutritional value.
Let’s take a look at the four flavors Olipop sent us to review:
Vintage Cola
Olipop’s take on the classic cola flavor was pretty good, I must say. It tasted a bit like Diet Coke but honestly, I really enjoyed it and it was better than it’s Diet Coke competitor. With a perfect balance of sweetness and spice, Vintage Cola delivers a nostalgic taste reminiscent of old-fashioned soda fountain drinks. What sets it apart is its use of premium botanicals like kola nut, along with functional ingredients such as prebiotic fiber to support gut health.
Classic Rootbeer:
Olipop’s Classic Rootbeer is a delightful twist on a beloved classic. Bursting with the rich, creamy flavor of sassafras and wintergreen, this beverage captures the essence of traditional root beer while offering a healthier alternative. Its blend of natural herbs and spices, combined with digestive-friendly ingredients like chicory root, makes it a refreshing choice for those seeking a guilt-free soda experience. Out of the four, this was my favorite for sure. Also, each can only have 2-3 grams of sugar in it which is about 95% less than the regular sodas out there.
Classic Grape:
Olipop’s Classic Grape soda is a vibrant, fruity delight that is sure to please grape soda enthusiasts. Made with real grape juice and infused with botanical extracts like chamomile and elderberry, this beverage delivers a burst of natural flavor with every sip. What’s impressive is its low sugar content, achieved through the use of plant-based sweeteners like stevia and erythritol, ensuring a satisfyingly sweet taste without the guilt.
Tropical Punch:
Olipop’s Tropical Punch flavor is a tropical paradise in a bottle. Bursting with the refreshing flavors of pineapple, passionfruit, and guava, this soda is like a vacation for your taste buds. What makes it truly unique is its blend of exotic fruit extracts, combined with digestive-friendly ingredients like marshmallow root and Jerusalem artichoke, providing a deliciously tropical experience with added health benefits.
In conclusion, Olipop is not just a soda brand; it’s a wellness revolution in a bottle. By using natural, plant-based ingredients and incorporating functional benefits into each flavor, Olipop has redefined what soda can be. Whether you’re craving the classic taste of cola or the tropical sweetness of punch, Olipop offers a guilt-free indulgence that’s as delicious as it is nutritious.
