Here Are 6 Healthy Sodas You Must Try to Satisfy Your Carbonated Cravings
We have pretty clean eating habits. It's not until it's time to select a beverage that we must resist our cravings. Everyone can probably relate—sometimes, you need an ice-cold fizzy drink. Thankfully, entrepreneurs and corporations know the plight of people who love a sweet treat, so they've unveiled plenty of healthy sodas to help us get the best of both worlds.
Below, discover a few of our top alternatives to classic Coca-Cola and Sprite, from leaders like OLIPOP to indie companies like United Sodas.
bubly Burst Cherry Lemonade Sparkling Water: $1.39
Many healthy sodas have kombucha or other prebiotic formulas that leave an unusual aftertaste. If you want something milder, try sparkling water. Bubly recently unveiled a new take on their classic fizzy drink: Burst. The latest offering is a "flavor-forward, lightly sweetened" version to pack even more punch with every sip, and Cherry Lemonade might be our favorite.
United Sodas of America Sour Blueberry Soda: $34.99
United Sodas is a hidden gem. We randomly found these cans at a local restaurant, and their bursting flavors blew our minds. There is tons of carbonation, which we love, and those bubbles pair perfectly with the tart blueberry flavor. Plus, we can't ever get enough of a minimalistic design.

OLIPOP Strawberry Vanilla Prebiotic Soda: $2.49
OLIPOP revolutionized healthy sodas. Before they hit the shelves, we hadn't even thought to drink something other than a Diet Coke for a flavorful but less sugary option. The Strawberry Vanilla knocks it out of the park every time. It's vegan and gluten-free and has zero off-putting flavors. It's the best start for anyone new to healthy sodas.
Poppi Cherry Limeade Prebiotic Soda: $2.49
Poppi might be on the fast track to becoming the most popular healthy soda in the game. And honestly, we understand why. It has the perfect level of carbonation while still allowing you to taste the drink's notes. And their prebiotic takes on Coca-Cola (Classic Cola), Dr. Pepper (Doc Pop) and root beer taste identical to the original product. The best flavor from their roster, undoubtedly, is the cherry limeade—its got tanginess and sweetness at all the right levels.
Izze Sparkling Blackberry Juice: $6.99
In general, we love juice. But there were a few times when we wished it had a little more oomph with carbonation—until Izze launched its sparkling juice beverages! They have many delicious flavors, from clementine to apple, but blackberry pairs the best with the fizz.
Health-Ade x SunSip Dynamic Duo Variety Pack: $33.95
Do you enjoy a glass of kombucha every morning? Now, you can take your gut health-improving beverage with their new SunSip line. These drinks have great flavor, inspired by classic sodas, including cherry cola, root beer and more. You won't ever want to pick up a standard kombucha again.
