It’s so delicious, with extra root beer flavor, and topped with whipped cream, chocolate syrup, caramel and a cherry on top! And now the company does, too-to all of the contiguous states nationwide-so grab a can for yourself and one for each of your vegan, gluten-free, health-conscious, and Paleo friends.If you love Root Beer, you’ve got to try the Ultimate Root Beer Float. So, all you really need to know about Olipop is: I ship it. Unlike other bubbly beverages, Olipop doesn’t leave me wanting more or feeling like I have withdrawals from the sugary soda I crave-and, as an additional benefit, the drink promotes positive digestive and microbiome health-if you're all about a healthy and happy gut, we're pretty sure you'd also love Health-Aide's Booch Pop too. This refreshing beverage contains just the right amount of ginger and enough lemon to tingle your taste buds.Ĭomposed of prebiotics, botanicals, plant fiber, and just three grams of naturally occurring sugar (replacing the astounding 39 grams of added sugar in traditional soda) and compliant with many of the top diet trends, this sparkling tonic could honestly replace my Coke habit. Ginger Lemon: One sip of this tonic, and you’ll feel like you’re jumping into Lake Tahoe on a perfect summer morning. This Olipop “soda” was the most surprising for me, creating a nostalgic haze for something I may have never tasted before-but will definitely reach for again. Made with strawberry juice concentrate and natural vanilla flavor extract, this beverage boasts bright tones and a creamy mouthfeel. Strawberry Vanilla: While I don’t typically opt for fruity cream sodas, this flavor is surprisingly delightful. Complete with cassava root syrup, laced with organic natural root beer flavor, and offset with Himalayan pink salt, this drool-worthy flavor would pair perfectly with a scoop of Halo Top ’s vanilla bean ice cream for a healthy version of a true childhood classic. Root Beer: Despite having only two grams of sugar, this flavor tastes incredibly sweet and will surely quell your sugar cravings. Complete with all the flavors of the holiday-esque Cinnamon Cola, this version is a daily staple with a nostalgic vibe that makes you want to stick two paper straws in it, call your sweetheart over, and share it like a milkshake. Nearly a year after my first can of Cinnamon Cola, I’m drawn to the Vintage Cola for a more obvious replacement for my Coke obsession. The bright flavors of the apple and lime juices balanced out the deeply comforting Cassia cinnamon and cola extract for a mouthful of soda that I didn’t feel guilty about drinking. Now, more than a year after my first sip, boy, am I glad I gave it a shot.Ĭola: After rushing home and setting up an obligatory photoshoot, I busted open the Cinnamon Cola. The noise of cracking open a can sends a refreshing tingle down my spine, and the fizzy bubbles that slightly tickle my lips instantly put me in a better mood-so much so that I’ve started referring to soda as “happy juice.” (Embarrassing, I know, but the stress is real, y’all.) So needless to say, I was apprehensive to try the retro soda–inspired Olipop, but I was also cautiously optimistic about the idea of a healthy and tasty soda alternative. To make things worse, thanks to an endless supply of Coke in the office, I adopted a not-so-healthy soda obsession.
Unfortunately, this meant I was continuously reaching for other less healthy beverages and was stuck in a cycle of feeling guilty about what I was putting in my body and rationalizing my bad, sugar-filled decisions. I was even reluctant to try highly Instagrammed flavored waters because of their hype-and, as a fan of bold flavors, most of them weren't for me.
