Dietitian Reviews Healthy Soda || Poppi VS Olipop || Can Prebiotic Soda Fix Your Gut Issues?!

[@aliciapaz5986]

I was dealing with stool issues and I drank poppi everyday and it helped me a lot . Now I have no problems. I know it’s tmi but that’s just my opinion about the drink. I love poppi 😊

[@Nicolehoskens]

Love that !!! Now that I’ve tried more flavors of poppi I think some are pretty tasty!

[@MaxC-rf5ss]

I don't drink that garbage. I don't need help to shit. And I'll rather drink a dr pepper

[@Mrs.G_71]

Thank you for the honest review. It is helpful.

[@MaxC-rf5ss]

Fake pop, I'm good. People sell you anything

[@kimberlydavis739]

It works for me too

[@NoirHammer]

Olipop is popular know so maybe a video devoted to its sweetener and the data behind it as far as gut health and blood sugar would be interesting to see.

[@MandoEmmm]

I've been trying to improve my diet ever since talking to my doctor. I've been eating fast food less, cutting out fried foods almost entirely, and one of the big things is cutting out soda and juice in exchange for Ollipops and iced tea with minimal sugar. Like you said suddenly eating more veggies and whole grains definitely messed up my stomach for a week or two but after about two months overall i've lost weight, I don't feel bloated, and I feel like I fart way more often but they don't smell as well as having good poops. I have more energy and my skin has cleared up too. This is all without any exercise too, I'm trying to start that life style change after a couple more months of this diet change because I want to make sure this becomes a full on life style change. Some tips for people wanting to change. 1. Stop drinking soda and energy drinks and drink more water. 2. Air fryer and rice cooker have helped me tons. 3. Dedicate three hours on Sunday to meal prep for the week. My go to's are brown or white rice with a veggie of the week for variety which can be anything from sweet potatoes, broccoli, asparagus, grean beans or brussel sprouts; a protein, I usually do chicken for two weeks and steak one week. I pretty much air fry everything now and only use olive oil. 4. SUPPLEMENTS. I have not been consistent because I forget at work but at home I've been taking Vitamin B Complex, Magnesium, Zinc, and Omega-3 for the extra boost in things I know I don't have much in my diet. 5. Not relapsing just because you ate out. When changing your lifestyle there will be hiccups and that's okay. Sometimes I just want to eat some chicken nuggets from McDonald's even tho I know theyre bad, that doesn't mean imma call it quits and go back to eating bad food again. Eventually the goal is to get to a point where you know these moments are the exception and not the norm.

[@bluebebop2337]

do veggies still bother you? I noticed the same thing. Starting eating cleaner a couple days ago

[@MandoEmmm]

@@bluebebop2337 not anymore i pass gas alot but it doesn't smell. I'm also less bloated!

[@TheNewGranada]

i'm pretty obsessed wth olipop. for me, the biggest drawbacks of oilpop are the blnaket term 'natural flavors' and i'm not convinced stevia is good for you. there are a lot of good ingredients and it's minimal sugar makes it a winner. imo the root beer and dr goodwin are my favs. i'm dieing to try the cream soda but have yet to find it . but with only 2 grams of sugar, the root beer is fire. and the 9grams of fiber is amazing. i also appreciate how the carbonation is low on these sodas. highly recommend!

[@moorethansports5023]

The natural flavors in olipops are only derived from the fruit extracts or spices and have to legally comply with all non GMO testing and standards fully. So if it didn't have those certifications then it would be no go fully.

[@BlackoutCYANIDE]

I agree so much with the level of carbonation! I actually like that it isn't exactly sprite crispy!🤣🤣

[@veronicasantamaria278]

This was a fantastic video! Loved how you broke down the science AND let us know which taste the best!! Olipop rootbeer has been my fav for so long 😊❤ I was blown away when I realized it had 9g fiber.

[@Nicolehoskens]

Thank you Veronica! Loveeeee the rootbeer

[@bradman4399]

Completely agree! Very thorough breakdown! I'm on team cream soda, but rootbeer is in my top 5 for sure :)

[@opalbeauty1578]

Walmart just lowered the prices to 1.97 so that makes it a bit more affordable. I drink Olipop a few times a week and like about half the flavors. Nice treat and swap from pop.

[@sabraabraham253]

Coming back to this to say Olipop vintage cola (great cola alternative) and Poppi raspberry rose are my favorite.

[@jamesfiaco4922]

I remember when I was about 10 years old in New Hampshire were people are a little bit more aware of health than most people in the city life I was talking to some people that were in their late teens early 20s about a healthy soda and they laughed at me. Saying it could not be done it was a nice thought as you can see they were ignorant to the possibilities even though they were double my age. And I got similar responses from employees who were working at Chucky cheese in upstate New York. In layman's terms how much can a person really say the care about children when they are completely ignorant of healthy choices that will greatly improve upon the quality of growth

[@mosesmutua1793]

Hello Nicole, would you please add citations to the scientific health information given in your video description.For instance scientific papers talking about pre-biotics and probiotics. It will be highly appreciated.Thanks.

[@Nicolehoskens]

this is a great idea. I always have them in my notes but forget to add to the description & video. I do recommend starting at www.jandonline.org also making sure to examine meta-analysis :)

[@BlueAngel2397]

You should try the Olipop Cherry cola flavor, it’s sooo good.

[@Nicolehoskens]

Ooooooo I need too! Will be on the look out

[@MaxC-rf5ss]

People drink anything

[@BountifullyJo]

I like only a few of the olipop. I’m not much of a soda drinker but figured to add to my diet for the prebiotics. I just can’t get with the price. Thank you for the video!!

[@Nicolehoskens]

What olipop have you liked?!

[@BountifullyJo]

@@Nicolehoskens the cherry vanilla and the tropical are my faves!

[@GrandmasFolly]

The ginger lemon is by far my favorite. I buy a 12 pack every couple weeks, I’m a bit of an addict.

[@moniquemoore9543]

Cream soda is my favorite.

[@MichaelVascellaro]

Thanks for more intensive overview about the products. I been getting the Olipop for about a year not for me and my family. My question is about it all is.. Is a fiber and does a fiber do the same thing when it is liquified? Becuase when I think about fiber its the stuff that is separated when using a juicer machine. Can fiber that broken down to a liquid still do the same as a fiber that is still in whole form?

[@lars2894]

Watch Dr Berg, he has a good video on this topic and the effects of fiber overall as well as in different forms

[@Ralphreyes202]

I just got the poppi soda today and it’s very good I’m not going to lie

[@Nicolehoskens]

What flavor did ya get?!

[@fl1588]

ACV contains a small amount of short chain fatty acids in the form of acetic acid. It also breaks down pepsin into butyric acid.

[@LibbyAudrey]

I keep wanting to try Poppi but $2.50 for one can -- I just can't get on board with that. Maybe as a treat? I used to be really into those Suja drinks and kombucha but again, the cost per bottle was just a lot if I wanted to drink them regularly. Interesting such discrepancy between carbs and sugars between the two brands. I would probably enjoy the taste of Poppi but I appreciate that Olipop has more fiber in it. Another great review of very hyped up healthier food!

[@Nicolehoskens]

I also love kombucha ! The guava one is my fav. I agree, the prices are a little high for one beverage. It won’t be something I buy weekly (to save money for wedding) but I will be buying the olipop rootbeer as my treat drink lol

[@KingdomWithin7]

It cost to be healthy in this world unfortunately 🤷🏽

[@samorachannel2093]

Think of how much you spend in a week on unhealthy food, and then the benefits of OLIPOP,then you'll see it's worth it. It's how I had to look at it...

[@thereseclaire9806]

such a lively and informative video!🥰

[@Shooe87]

I've just drank Culture pop because I've been vomiting but it honestly helped me out.

[@JD-ee5hp]

You missed the Poppi Root Beer. I don’t think comparing Olipop’s root beer flavor to Poppi’s fruity flavor was a fair game for Poppi. You should try Poppi’s root beer, I’m sure you’ll Love it!! My first choice bet. The 2 labels for this flavor is Poppi. I get it Alllll the time!! My fridge is Full of Poppi Root beer & Classic Cola!! They’re Amazing 🥰 I personally don’t like Olipop coz it’s not sweet enough for me!! They almost taste bitter 😢

[@MzVan21]

Olipop root beer is the best one ive tried it so good

[@Nicolehoskens]

Love it!!

[@sango3223]

This soda is good whenever i get constipation. It tastes ok. Might try the cola. Gotten given the strawberry lemon variety pack by a family member.

[@sharkgirl9426]

Great review! Thanks for the info!

[@ColbyBarradas]

Great video

[@carissaa8411]

Great video. Very informative. Would you suggest this to someone who is prediabetic and trying to keep blood sugar and cholesterol under control?

[@lydiadelay5960]

The poppi soda have a root beer too. I have tried it yet but I would a review on it. So I know if should tried it or not:

[@MrMisterChiliPepper88]

Been drinking these for the past 4 months I cut drinking sugar Two years ago and drinking these taste good 👍

[@Nicolehoskens]

Ahhh congrats! What’s your fav flavor

[@MrMisterChiliPepper88]

@@Nicolehoskens thank you Nicole!! I drink these every other day I like the root beer, orange flavor strawberry one is good and grape flavor! 😉

[@ilikeitwhatisit6749]

Wouldn't we like to see those in glass bottles due to forever chemicals, in the cans or is that just in plastic bottles.

[@jacobsalomon1952]

Interestingly, Poppi rebranded from a "apple cider vinegar beverage" called Mother to a "prebiotic soda". I think their original angle was to make apple cider vinegar more palatable.

[@Nicolehoskens]

Thank you for sharing this! If that was their first angle then 1000% they did in fact do that. Also just tried the orange poppi and it was the best so far

[@stacycreates24]

I like the Barbie flavor

[@Nicolehoskens]

Haven’t tried!

[@tashamclean]

I was waiting for her to mention the sodium in the Olipop. Haven't tried either. Watching videos to decide. 🤔

[@shorelined1]

Would any dietician recommend regular soda "ex-specially" w all that sugar and corn syrup? Pepsi is 62g of sugar per 13.65oz can.

[@Nicolehoskens]

Most likely not yet if someone was drinking 4 cans a day a dietitian may recommend lowering it to one a day. Looking at a whole diet vs one thing is usually a better way to help 💙

[@toms6463]

My biggest concern is the “natural flavors” ingredient which is always a mystery as to what exactly I’m putting into my body since I don’t know exactly what they are

[@Nicolehoskens]

I totally understand the fear as sooooo many people get money by fearmongering around these. I am not concerned with natural flavors. They can just mean vanilla. Every time you eat meat, have alcohol, sports supplement or really any food with no ingredient list, you never know where your food has been.

[@i-yell-a-lot4906]

THIS FELT LIKE A COMMERCIAL FOR BOTH.

[@Nicolehoskens]

Now that would be the brand deal of my dreams. Sadly I paid for each can lol

[@veronicasvideodiaries]

I'm excited to try these (:

[@Nicolehoskens]

Let me know which ones you try!

[@UR_Right24]

Do any of these have caffeine? I mostly only drink caffeine free and zero sugar beverages now, like caffeine free green, ginger, and chamomile tea with a slice of lemon in the morning, but then I'll have a zero sugar powerade or zero sugar 7up in the afternoon if I am just wanting something different than water, but I might try a few of these for the other gut health benefits even though they are a little higher in sugar and calories than the stuff I usually drink, because there are very little other health benefits or nutritional value from those other drinks I've been drinking other than maybe some vitamins and electrolytes, with the exception of the tea which I'm sure has some digestive benefits, and I do add like a teaspoon of Metamucil to my tea in the morning. I just don't want to ingest a bunch of chemicals is my whole thing and so many drink have so many things in the ingredients list that you can't even pronounce and I have just come to believe they must be bad for so trying to switch to completely natural whole foods and drinks.

[@samlung2724]

Wow, ive been pronouncing poppi wrong, ive been saying poooo pii. But i love all the information in this video : D

[@Nicolehoskens]

Hahaha I thinkkkk this is how you say it ? lol I say all the words wrong so you’re in good company. Thanks for watching!!!

[@artnascar9748]

enjoyed your video I'm going to give you a 10. Root beer is my favorite. ✌️🇺🇸

[@raven_libra]

Also culture pop if you haven’t tried those yet. They are probiotic soda drinks. The olipop vintage soda tastes like rc cola. Lol

[@lydiadelay5960]

I really want to Oilpop sodas. I will be on the haunt now lol.

[@MandoEmmm]

Every once in a while my local target sells the Ollipops at 3 for $6 and I get a bunch lol

[@ronwatson264]

HEY MS NICOLE, IM DIABETIC, JUST SEEN YOUR VIDEO ON SODA POP, AND WERE CAN I GET THEM? DO THEY COME IN 6-15packs? IS IT GOOD FOR DIABETICS? THANK YOU MR WATSON

[@sophieepps7005]

I tried the olipop soda in 2024 today on 2/10/24 and it was good

[@darrylm3627]

😄👍Good Stuff, Great Tips

[@thez828]

I spent $3 for one of these olipop grape 12 on soda. I wanted to buy more but yes it’s pricey but is it really worth it and real and actually provide any type of assistance to put gut ?

[@92spice18]

FYI: if you like them you can get a better value for Poppi at Costco, still more expensive than regular soda but one of these a week is enough to get you regular.

[@claudewebb2797]

What can Dr Pepper be replaced with, if you have diabetes?

[@rvisions123]

Zevia ,and spindrift reversed mine ,I drank only coke and dr pepper .

[@Life_Exists_Now]

Culture Pop is missing

[@nadiadansani2139]

I feel like it’s the equivalent of eating activia, but it tastes good, so imma keep drinking

[@Nicolehoskens]

Wait I never thought of this 🤣🤣🤣

[@ADOS_DSGB]

Amazing how many dietitians let natural flavors slide.

[@Nicolehoskens]

Prob because they are a big deal lol. But if you want to be scared of them and stay away from all foods with that , be my guest! of course Whole Foods are always better. Remember natural flavors can just mean vanilla

[@lydiadelay5960]

They also the cream soda that have cane sugar I thought these are healthy sodas.

[@malosi_atoatoa]

My favorite is CHERRY COKE ZERO

[@AnnitaReynita]

So helpful Ty!☺️

[@Nicolehoskens]

Thank you for watching 💛

[@trishlane9356]

Plz compare regarding diet pop

[@tonybergin9409]

Bunk level 1 nutrition

[@brandonkeshishian791]

I tried all the flavors and this lady is missing the mark. Id recommend figuring out which ones are good on your own. Not in this vid, but orange poopi is my fav

[@Nicolehoskens]

Everyone’s tastes are different. Glad you found your favorite.

[@MDG-i3h]

They are pricy, but people spend more on a sugary Starbucks drink soooooo….

[@samorachannel2093]

So far I've had, Strawberry, Grape, Root beer, Cola, and Watermelon, all except #Pepper and #Cola are good..... but R. Beer is better than Cola.. Honestly, im addicted because of the health benefits and i can be naughty and give (SODA) to my Babies. Lol However, I did not like the raspberry poppi

[@FollowerOfGODBeliverOfJESUS]

Let's be honest price is bull shit

[@shanelandstrom1597]

Pfffff......$23 for a 12 pack? No thanks

[@mwm03]

Tried these, my conclusion, Over priced, over hyped on social media and tastes gross.. pass, who actually is checking the ingredients in these and other products.. can they be lying 🤥

[@venxamalu]

i rather drink Zeros than these

[@corykraft3009]

Horrible drink and expensive

[@ts3858]

Are you drinking red bull...? Slooooow down..... Talkin too fast lady...lol

[@Nicolehoskens]

Lololol this is me trying to slow down 🤣😭 this is always my note for improvement at work lolol

[@parler8698]

Yuck. I hate Stevia.
