Dietitian Reviews Olipop Soda!

[@Letmelearnya]

What's your favorite flavor?

[@friendofdog13]

Classic Grape is delicious.

[@99Getrdone]

Try grape if I could find it

[@coffeewithconnie]

Strawberry Vanilla

[@farwest9218]

Cherry

[@PraveenSrJ01]

Cherry 🍒 Coke

[@jeremycrump4162]

The price is relative to its ingredients. The reason coke and Pepsi products are cheap is because it's basically corn syrup and carbonation

[@Letmelearnya]

Yup! And Coke and Pepsi are using ingredients (corn for high fructose corn syrup) subsidized by our government, which makes their product even cheaper. As mentioned in the video, I understand the cheap vs. more costly ingredients affect price. I just wish that wasn't the case so the people who would benefit from Olipop the most could afford it. A girl can dream!

[@arimo3163]

But healthy food should be accessible to everyone.

[@lightdark00]

@@arimo3163 Why? so more is wasted? We should subsidize vegetables, instead of animal and biofuel grains.

[@cidneelesure4103]

I personally suffered from a very inconsistent and painful bathroom routine for months, so I decided to give Olipop a try. Pleased to say that this is the best I've felt in so long. I didn't have any of the weird cramping you mentioned at all, but that is dependent on each person. I also purchased mine from Imperfect Foods, so it gets delivered weekly, but it's cheaper than the store or online price!

[@Letmelearnya]

That is so great you are getting relief from your previous routine! They do use good ingredients that research has shown to improve intestinal health, so that might be why you're feeling better. Thank you for sharing your experience.

[@coffeewithconnie]

I gave up soda 7 years ago. I’ll occasionally drink the Strawberry Vanilla in the summer as a treat. Good review and thank you!

[@Letmelearnya]

I gotta try the strawberry vanilla! That sounds yummy!

Service announcement: they are selling these at Walmart, yay! They help with constipation, double yay! And at least the root beer tastes really good, especially considering I was expecting it to taste like kombucha or at least..herby??

[@Letmelearnya]

Thanks for sharing! Maybe I should do an update as an excuse to try the root beer.😋

[@31marcpaul]

I've been wanting to try this. I drink Fresca to replace Dr pepper.

[@Nobootsmama]

@@Letmelearnyathe root beer is def my fave, I drink like 3-4 cans of it per week. They seriously help me disgust any food I’m eating or have recently eaten. I’m also not a super carbonated drinks kinda person, so the light carbonation I enjoy. This coming from someone who really only drinks water or tea. I’ll have a soda occasionally, but waters my go to all day everyday.

[@cosmicren2937]

Thank you for this review! I started buying these sodas replace my unhealthy 3pm habit of buying "fancy special" drinks to keep me going during work (frapps, boba, etc) and I find it to be a fun, healthier replacement. Still more exciting than water or seltzer but waaaay less sugar and calories. I was concerned that I was just buying into the marketing about it not being bad for you, but I'm happy to hear there's some truth to it. Thanks for the video!

[@megandenniston2659]

Iv been drinking one everyday for months and it has made a difference I did a e experiment where I stopped for a week and I started having digestive problems these literally “ cured”my Ibs no more pain when using bathroom and regular normal movements

[@Letmelearnya]

That's great news! I know how crippling it can be to have gut problems, so I'm very happy you're getting relief. And also getting relief from something that tastes good and doesn't have side effects. :)

[@IAmHisBeloved5]

Which one did you drink?

[@josephtejeda854]

It’s not cured if you need to continue drinking them to feel normal. Seems like you need professional help

[@SoCalMal]

Drank a can of the root beer yesterday afternoon. I get a good amount of fiber in my diet... but good lord that 9g in this drink was like the Acela on the fast track! This stuff should also be called “Colon Blow!” (search on that for an hysterical SNL skit).

[@Letmelearnya]

Thank you for starting my day off with a laugh! My brother and I would quote Colon Blow ALL the time when we were younger. Love that skit and miss Phil Hartman.

[@LeahAllstar]

SO grateful I found your channel and review!!! I’ve been drinking these trying to replace my Soda craving!! I was really wondering if I was just replacing bad with bad but it’s good to know I’m not! Thank you so much!!!!!

[@Letmelearnya]

No problem! Thank you for the kind comment!

[@counterstrike89]

Coke is cheap because there's nothing in it but fructose corn syrup, if you look at the vintage cola flavor from ollipop it has like a gazillion different ingredients in it that are mostly all herbs and roots, which is remarkable, this is how soda should be made. Zevia is really tough, because its no sugar, but there's virtually no other main ingredients in Zevia except stevia, so its not good for digestion. I would say Olipop is much better on your stomach, great flavor feels like you're drinking an Iyogi tea / soda.

[@Letmelearnya]

Most definitely. As mentioned in the video, coke is cheaper because they use subsidized ingredients such as corn (HFCS). The irony of it all is that when Pepsi was first invented, it contained roots and natural flavors meant to ease digestion. Hence the name "Pepsi," which originated from the Greek work "pepsis" that means digestion. Over the decades it turned into what it is today. :(

[@wyldrhymetyme6709]

I like the way you chat and explain things. As a person who struggles with eating disorder, I like how you hit the research. I hope you keep doing this channel because I feel it is one I would enjoy. I will share your videos with my social media. i quit drinking "regular" soda two years ago due to me acting like an addict.. i make my own sodas using flavorings so I am always in the market for a good "healthy" soda.

[@Letmelearnya]

You're so kind, thank you! I'm enjoying doing these videos so will most likely continue. :)

[@ReignFrostedHeavens]

I do have IBS FODMAP issues, I have tried Olipop and not on a daily basis. It’s lower on sugar and does have some enjoyable benefits and flavors. I love that has the calendula flower. This is actually beneficial for those who have IBS. I do enjoy my bananas and oats, this is nice to have every so often if you want something different from time to time. It helps me a lot with my gut and digestion especially since I am sensitive with my digestive system.

i like how in depth your reviews are !

Thank you and so glad you enjoy them!

[@CherubicDolly]

I loooove the aftertaste of the Vintage Cola. It's so caramelly and rich. I was instantly obsessed.

[@Letmelearnya]

I love the fore-taste, but the aftertaste no so much. If only I could tolerate Stevia! Otherwise delicious.

[@balkee42]

Vintage cola is my fav. I buy it by the case every week

[@Bluespacealien]

Thanks for the review! I like Olipop but I didn’t drink soda to begin with, so I dislike the fact that it’s given me a taste for soda 😂 agree that it’s nice for a sweet treat once in awhile. Didn’t realize the fiber content could be an issue for some, good to know!!

[@InternetOpinion]

I had the tropical punch one and its so good. No way that thing only has 3 g of sugar a can. Too good to be true.

[@Letmelearnya]

Hah! It's the stevia, which makes things sweet without the sugar. I loved the flavor too but didn't like the stevia aftertaste. :(

[@PraveenSrJ01]

I had the root beer flavor recently and I loved it, and for someone with Crohn's Disease with chronic constipation it really helped me go the day after drinking this. I think they'll be a occasional drink for me

[@Letmelearnya]

THIS is an example of such a surprisingly great review from a small channel. Better advise and detailed clarifications for us laymen instead of sugarcoating everything like many other "dieticians" do on KZbin. And I've watched a dozen other Olipop soda reviews today. Good job!

[@elisabethiniguez4748]

As the brand has grown and become more accessible I’ve noticed that their prices have dropped and I even pick some up in a target today.

[@Letmelearnya]

[@PraveenSrJ01]

You can get an olipop soda on sale at a target 🎯 for 2 bucks.

[@fluffysheep8999]

honestly after covid, my taste buds were warped completely . it made me had a huge disliking to sodas when i used to go crazy drinking for them all the time. how ever the only sodas i couldve tolerate now was root beers and cream sodas. so i gave olipop a try since it had firmiliar flavors and it did not dissapointment me. And then i tried their cherry flavor which normally cherry flavors were ruined for me, Olipop's cherry soda was actually palatable and got me enjoying cherry flavors again. now i don't go ham drinking sodas every day like i used to, but every time i see cans of ollipop. I make sure to grab one of each flavor to drink sparingly through the week as a treat to go alongside my dinner. its delightful, and i can't be anymore thankful to have sodas like these which are not only light on the flavors, but just sweet enough to give me a little pick me up.

[@Letmelearnya]

I've gotta try their root beer one because root beer was my favorite soda back in the day.😋 I'm glad you've found something you can enjoy and thanks for sharing your Olipop experience!

[@MementoVivere.]

Strawberry Vanilla is super yummy but for someone with IBS the cramps started after only a few sips. Def made me have a healthy poop but it was pretty painful drinking it. Got it from the local Bageldashery.

[@I-must-scream]

Oh, snap! I'm allergic to ragweed, and I've been drinking these. I guess I'm lucky that I haven't noticed any reaction! I've been enjoying these as an alternative to energy drinks as I'm trying to cut back on the caffeine and I've been enjoying them. The fiber doesn't phase me, but I try to eat a fairly diverse diet so I think I get plenty of fiber as it is. I guess my body is used to it already. Ok, all that being said, I really liked this review. It didn't feel like an advertisement. This seemed really honest, and I love that you addressed that an alternative soda like this could be really good for a lot of people who don't have access to it. You earned my respect.

[@Letmelearnya]

I seriously said, "AWWWW" out loud while reading your comment.

[@Theultrazombiekiller]

I am also INSANLY allergic to ragweed but these have no effect on me, I think digesting the leaves is different than breathing in the pollen. That crap makes me sick every year.

[@PraveenSrJ01]

There are only about 5 or less grams of sugar in this whole drink 🍺 which is really cool 😎

Uh oh. Maybe I shouldn't have drank three of them in 4 hours. I found them at Walmart today and wanted to try them. Well, it was fun to try, but I'll stick with Zevia and Spindrift. Even if it's not good for you, I'm in a heck of a lot better State than when I was drinking five Cokes a day. Appreciate the analysis.

You definitely picked the worst flavor to go off of. 😅 My favorite is Banana Cream. I don't drink soda often. Though, I absolutely love carbonated beverages. I just know it's not the best for digestion, so I don't drink it. But good lord, that banana cream flavor is everything. It is the best drink I have ever had.

I'll never forget my first Olliepop.... nearly killed me lol.

[@DangBerry-cd8pu]

why? im drinking one now, got 2 more flavors in the fridge lol

[@nickrajotte6802]

The cost isn’t bad if you think about it. You’re getting 9 grams of fiber which is 30% of your DV. Most people don’t get enough fiber. You’re getting a whole bunch of different plant fibers that carry the prebiotic benefits. Soda is usually just cheaply produced syrup and water. Maybe a tad cheaper but honestly not bad

[@Letmelearnya]

Oh I agree. As mentioned in the vid, I understand why Olipop might be more expensive given the ingredients. However, I'm still sad that the people who could benefit most from drinking it most likely won't be able to afford it.

[@PraveenSrJ01]

Great point Nick.

[@Malgorbia]

I had no idea it was prebiotic and let me tell you, I did in fact go to the moon. I eat a TON of fiber naturally but I don’t drink soda or artificial sugars. It wasn’t painful but it was noxious, truly. Now I can’t decide if having one every once and a while will be healthy and it’ll balance out or if this is just a gas production product 😂.

[@Letmelearnya]

I lol'd at "I did in fact go to the moon." You might benefit from going low and starting slow, as I like to say. Your body should get used to the fiber as you introduce it over time. So like drink 1/4 can and see how you feel. If you're fine, gradually increase every day. Or, you might just have issues with those specific types of fibers and should just stay away from that product altogether. Good luck my noxious friend!

[@JLamont45]

They are in my Walmart here in tiny Monroeville Alabama.

[@jessecoleman6599]

Agreed this product is too expensive. $38.99 for 12 cans is allot. Olipop only for elite group who can afford it... I would love teens to want this, folks suffering with obesity and diabetes would have.

[@blinkin_gg]

Thanks for the review, helpful

[@davidkellymitchell4747]

Anything with less sugar and less calories seems to be an automatic health benefit for those addicted to pop unless they drink 6 Olipops to every 1 regular soda they usually drink. Lol!

[@Letmelearnya]

Agreed!

[@MireS108]

I just tried this for the first time yesterday. I had a weird reaction. I cut all sugar from my diet about a month ago with the exception of fruit. After I drank this maybe a couple of minutes after I did felt the cramping but that went away quick. But I felt sooooo sleepy and tired that lasted for about an hour. My guess is because of the added sugar and my body not being used to it. I thought since it was only 3g it wasn’t going to be a big deal. But it didn’t work for me I didn’t like that feeling at all. The taste was great though I had strawberry vanilla.

[@RickyGarcia_Learning]

In my area they are selling for about $2.50 each, so you could get 12 for $30 bucks plus tax. Not too bad. But with the demographic I feel like you hit the nail on the head.

[@PraveenSrJ01]

She is correct that mostly higher income individuals can afford this soda 🥤

[@Justin-vb4ek]

I found these sold individually at the store today and decided to try Orange Cream. I wouldn't call it Orange Cream or soda. It is trying to be healthy so vegetable flavors came out the most and there was just about zero fizz in the can. I would drink flavored sparkling water instead.

[@itsbeyondme5560]

Flavored sparkling water is no healthier because its acid. Just get a fruit and make your own

[@ReikiRaine]

So glad I found you! Is there such a thing as a healthy beverage? I’m addicted to Pepsi. I’ve stopped it in the past by 2 weeks of nothing but water. But it there a healthy water?

[@Letmelearnya]

If we're defining healthy beverages in the literal sense, then the only healthy beverage is water. BUT, there are beverages that bring people enjoyment and happiness and that's OK (not everything has to be perfectly healthy) if you don't over do it. There are also beverages that may be "healthier" than others by delivering some nutrition and beneficial ingredients. I believe Olipop to be one of these alternatives. I highly suggest if you're trying to stop Pepsi to not go cold turkey. I usually recommend decreasing intake to start (if drinking 4/day, decrease to 3, then 2...). I know some people are anti-diet soda, but decades ago it helped with my transition of moving away from regular soda. Or, if you can afford it, try alternatives like Olipop or Poppi. After my shift to diet soda, I started adding some juice to club soda, then drinking flavored sparkling water, adding fruit to water, and eventually got to where I am now where I only drink water, tea, or coffee. Try imagining where you'd like to be ('cuz that end goal is different for everyone) and imagine the steps you can take to get there instead of one huge leap that you might not make. Hope that helps!

[@STVODVIL]

[@diywithshalese7791]

So correct me if I’m wrong, I’m not a dietitian however as an herbalist when the term extract is used it is referred to extracting properties from the plant, as a whole. For instance, if it said ‘cbd extract’ then yea, they are extracting cbd from the whole plant and disregarding the rest of the plant. However in stating “marshmallow root extract” brings to mind more of a tincture type situation where the whole plant and all of its properties are extracted into a medium like an infusion or alcohol (tincture). Is it different in the commercial food industry?

[@Letmelearnya]

Oooh an herbalist! Welcome and thanks for commenting and sharing your expertise!❤ This isn't my strong point, but I do know a couple things that will hopefully help. Fiber extracts are made in various ways, such as dry processing, wet processing, chemical, gravimetric, enzymatic, physical, microbial, or a combination of all these methods. I honestly have no idea how they extract marshmallow root, but I would assume the food industry is not using tinctures in their food products. They would then have to regulated by the Alcohol and Tobacco Tax and Trade Bureau 😄

[@martadallago7050]

To be fair they never claim they want to be affordable and they never said that they want to replace traditional sodas. They just said we do healthier sodas. End of story for me

[@Letmelearnya]

Maybe I'm just misinterpreting the mission statement on their website of wanting to "undermine the old guard of soda behemoths" and envisioning a future where "nutrition and digestive health is enjoyable and accessible to everyone."🤷

[@martadallago7050]

I cannot reply to your reply…. How cool. Yes undermine doesn’t mean replace. They want to offer an alternative to sodas and they nailed it. Producing if your not Coca Cola with good ingredients will make it impossible to sell it at 30 cents. 2 dollars is still an affordable price for a drink if you decide to shift your diet to a healthier place

I appreciate the review. It was clear and concise. I drink a Coke Mini a day (maybe two every once in a while) so I don't have a bad soda habit. Prior to this video, I thought this would be a healthy alternative but it honestly seems like the "Beyond Burger" version of soda. Made with healthy things but not necessarily healthy. Thanks for your opinion on this 😊.

[@IAmHisBeloved5]

The Beyond Burger isn’t healthy at all. Please look at the ingredients. This drink isn’t comparable to Beyond Burger because one use real ingredients that’s beneficial to health and one don’t.

[@The-Owl-Bard]

@@IAmHisBeloved5 My original statement was "it honestly seems like the "Beyond Burger" version of soda. Made with healthy things but not necessarily healthy." My original statement isn't saying that Beyond Burgers are healthy. I'm saying both products advertise being healthy but realistically aren't healthy at all. The Ollie Pop Soda's ingredient list makes it sound like it's healthy (i.e.- kudzu root, marshmallow root, slippery elm bark, etc) but these are extracts and may or may not retain any of the health benefits that the actual root or bark directly features. It's like eating an apple vs drinking apple juice. Both contain sugar, but the physical apple also contains fiber and nutrients that the juice just doesn't retain.

I drink Bubbly/La Croix mostly but i like occasional soda from time to time like blue sky but they discontinued blue sky. Olipop a good choice?

[@sharondessisso8400]

The problem with marketing is that they have to pump you up to get you to buy it, especially a new product. They identify the target audience and sell to them. In this case they are trying to get soda drinkers. But they are the wrong audience. Anybody drinking soda on a regular basis is not going to get into this soda. Soda is bad for you. And if you are still drinking it, you have not reached the bottom where you accept that. Olipop is for people who appreciate an occasional treat. Most soda drinkers can drink can after can during a day. You can't do that w/Olipop. In fact, you should split a can with someone and drink it only after you are well-hydrated and not to quench your thirst. Drink water first and then settle in to have a refreshing flavored beverage.

[@Letmelearnya]

Agreed they should have been forthright that Olipop is for those of higher income who prefer an occasional treat!

[@pookiewood]

The Cola one reminds me of Coke too much. I think Coke is nasty. The other flavors like the Grape, Orange, Strawberry ones are so good IMO. I gave up full time soda drinking years ago. I was looking for Alani Nu protein shakes in Target and just happened to see this sitting there. I was curious and picked up the Grape and Strawberry one to started off.

[@Letmelearnya]

[@rosnow]

Ok thanks so much for this review. They are so cute and the flavor is so delicious I sort of got obsessed with them. They taste so good and have so few calories, they were replacing an afternoon cookie so it seemed like a win. BUT I discovered they are making me feel sick. I would drink 2 or 3 on a Friday night and then would spend the rest of the weekend a total wreck and not sure why. I started researching FODMAP and discovered they are loading all the stuff a fodmap sensitive person should avoid. I cut these off right away. I wish I had your perspective earlier. Damn. Nice to have your expert confirmation. Apparently they say one should only have one per day on the website but who looks at that??

[@rosnow]

I don’t see the point of having so much prebiotics.

[@Letmelearnya]

Well lucky you, I'm working on a FODMAP video next! 😃 I don't understand why they put so much fiber in either. The only thing I can think of is for better marketing. If I worked there I'd tell them to cut the amount in half and it would still benefit people. Thanks for your comment!

[@rosnow]

@@Letmelearnya I will be interested in seeing that. I think I have some sensitivity because I have found I need to exclude some things like beans that I now understand are high in FODMAP.

Agreed!

I dont knw why americans calls two dollars and later call 1 buck or 2 bucks how is it different than dollar .? Why call it a buck .?

Love this product but it made me feel sick for days along with heartburn. I’m very sensitive to fiber.

[@Letmelearnya]

Yeah, some people's digestive systems just won't jive with this product. Thanks for sharing!

[@benjaminwagner8141]

Coworker mentioned this. I drink wa too much pop. I don't care if I gotta pay for something that will work

[@Letmelearnya]

Did you try it yet?

[@jameherm5833]

Definitely had to use the bathroom. Gassy, rolling gut etc. Won't be drinking again.

Have you reviewed Bang?

[@Letmelearnya]

I have not, but I will if you want me to! :)

@@Letmelearnya yep Bang, shield, and 2 colas, Zevia, & Green cola reviews would be appreciated & good for the community. Much thanks for your work and Blessings.

[@MrFindoutman]

Just about everything healthy/new is pricey these days so price doesn’t shock me too much but it is up there. Also you should have had a coke before to compare lol especially since it’s been 5-10 years since your last soda

[@Letmelearnya]

That is a damn good point! 😃 I did have a Dr. Pepper recently and the Olipop was definitely WAY less sweet.

[@Optimisticdumpsterfire]

Love #Olipop! #OlipopPartner 🥰🥤

[@Letmelearnya]

It's quite delicious 😋

[@kriegerkaiser]

Ever thought of trying Poppi?

[@Letmelearnya]

It's funny you mention that, because I tried Poppi the day after I filmed this video. My review is coming soon so stay tuned!

Root Beer and Cream Soda!

[@Letmelearnya]

Welp, now I'm going to have to try those. Root beer was my fave when I was a kid! Oooh, how about an Olipop root beer float? 😀

[@D_slade]

My personal favorite is the orange squeeze!

[@Letmelearnya]

I haven't tried it! I'm gonna assume it tastes like a delicious creamsicle!

[@balkee42]

U should have tried orange dream that they discontinued awhile back. Its alot better than orange squeeze

[@Jenniekitty94]

I just drank two of these sodas before watching this video rip my gut lmao

[@Letmelearnya]

Haha! Omg let me know how it goes!

[@hollycanter6642]

Me too!

[@Piecesoftheshadow]

Except it is healthy. Comparing it to a less unhealthy cake doesn't make sense. Of course getting fiber and prebiotocs from food will always be best and the healthiest. They have studies proving their products help gut health vs actual soda which harms the gut microbiome. I definitely hate the stevia though and the price, but the company has mentioned how they want to make it cheaper but struggle to due to the cost of making the product. I also would start slow and wouldn't drink it alone and without food.

[@Letmelearnya]

Hello there! Olipop does not have any studies showing that their product benefits gut health, though they are currently conducting a trial. The studies you mention, and I mentioned in the video, are for specific ingredients Olipop uses and not their product as a whole. Just because there is research supporting an ingredient Olipop is using, doesn't mean their product is also supported by research. However, mountains of research supports that drinking calories and nutrients has a negative impact on your health. This is why Olipop cannot be called "healthY," as you are still drinking calories and nutrients. I did say it could carry the claim that it is "healthIER" than actual soda, as soda has more sugar and doesn't contain fiber. Just like how a cake with added fiber could be considered "healthIER" than a regular cake, but still isn't "healthY" due to the refined carbs, fat, etc., which we know have negative impacts on health. Hope that makes sense!

[@dirkauditore8413]

@@Letmelearnya i agree but, even if its not technically "healthy", you can consume one or two a day without having negative effects on your health, which at the end of the day is what matters , no?

Will it spike my insulin? or make my liver fatty?

[@Letmelearnya]

Honestly, I'm not sure of the effects of sweeteners such as stevia on insulin. But I'll definitely look into it! Olipop does contain fibers that have been shown to stabilize blood sugar to some degree, so that's a plus. Fatty liver disease has many causes for developing, so I don't think we could definitively say that a type of soda independently could cause fatty liver.

[@thejedipanda4634]

Really like how informative this video is, ever thought about trying Magic Spoon? I keep hearing about it.

[@Letmelearnya]

I hadn't even heard of it until you mentioned it. Now that I know what it is, I'll try it and do a review! I have fun reviewing foods. :)
