Is Poppi Healthy? Still Runs on Cane Sugar

Poppi sells the dream of healthy soda but the formula still trades on sugar and influencer cosplay.

July 25, 2026 About Poppi

Prebiotic soda that still needs sugar to taste like soda.

The Take

Poppi is not healthy. It is mid-tier soda dressed in prebiotic cosplay with a Slop Score of 71.

Real apple cider vinegar earns one point while organic cane sugar and a token 2g fiber dose keep it from earning more.

Skip Poppi. Buy Bragg ACV plus plain sparkling water and mix your own for zero hype tax and full control.

Slop Score 71.

Sparkling water, organic cane sugar, ACV, cassava fiber, agave inulin, natural flavors, and fruit juices in most varieties.

Mostly no beyond the sugar and marketing. Better than Mountain Dew but far from clean.

No. The 2g fiber dose falls short of amounts used in studies showing gut effects.

Better picks in the same lane. Swipe for more.
