Dietitian Reviews Poppi Soda

[@Maddie9185]

Apple cider vinegar helped me with my indigestion issues back in 1990. I used to mix it with Cranberry Apple juice. if only I decided to start a business back then. Anyway good for them.

[@Letmelearnya]

If I had a nickle for every time I said that myself😂 All these people making money off of our amazing ideas! Thanks so much for sharing and watching.

[@babydoll6280]

You still can.... there's a bunch of ppl selling water.

[@mrsvinnie28]

Stevia is NASTY! I'm with you girl!

[@priscillaham5264]

I bought Poppi variety pack from Costco 15 cans for 21.00 plus tax. Average $1.39 per can.

[@laurapower6322]

I love these. I don't know why people have so much hate on them. From what I've seen and read up on them the skin benefits just come from making your gut healthier. I definitely see a difference in my skin when I am eating better vs eating a crap ton of sugar and processed foods. Either way, the proof is in the product for me. They help me reduce bloat and stay regular and as someone who has always struggled with issues of that nature these are such a life saver. Way better than downing magnesium citrate on a regular basis. So glad to have found them! Thanks for your video

[@Letmelearnya]

I didn't know people were hating on them😮 I actually thought mine tasted delicious (except for the stevia 😉). My only issue is when a food item makes claims not backed by research. I'm glad you're enjoying them and seeing good results! Thanks for watching.

[@anishabarnes1946]

Thank u

[@robertwilliams6218]

I have tried both Poppi and Ollipop. I find that I have to split a can of the Ollipop because the 9 grams of fiber is way too much at once. I do think Ollipop is more effective for me with the probiotics. I'm 12 years out of a gastric sleeve and notice my I system is less sluggish and regular. I have also incorporated kim chi, kraut, and pickles for fiber and vinegar so I don't have to rely on these on a daily basis. 2-3 cans a week to help wean off sodas.

[@melissamanning2987]

I appreciate your review so much! I've been addicted to soda all of my life and I've tried quitting it so many times and I keep going back. This is the first drink I've tasted that actually hits the same feel good receptors in my brain that soda brings. I was very wary of some of the health claims though when doing more research because they def gave some Dr. Oz type vibes. I wish they were more affordable but I think overall for my health it's worth splurging on if it can be used as a tool to help me eliminate sodas from my life.

[@Letmelearnya]

Thank you for watching and sharing your experience! Poppi tastes great and is definitively a big step up from soda imo. But agree, I wish they didn't make all those health claims. I did a review on Olipop if you're interested in another expensive alternative to soda😂 It also tastes great but they actually have some research to support claims about their ingredients.

[@RetiredGranny]

I just heard if this drink last night after watching a Tik Tok so I went looking for more information. Thsnk for the review. New sub here 🙋🏽‍♀️

[@Letmelearnya]

Thanks for subscribing!

[@hekatrisplays2046]

So glad somebody finally put a review out on these. I found these in the supermarket and I have been buying them pretty consistently since. I love that they taste so good and have a much smaller amount of added sugar than most beverages, but I also am bothered by some of the phony health claims that the company makes. They talk a lot about keeping it real, but misleading and/or lying to your customers does not seem very ethical or honest, especially when there are some solid health benefits to ACV alone. Why fabricate?? Also, the price is very exorbitant, I think I will give OLIPOP a try and see if I like the flavor. It would be great to hear if you have any recommendations on those!

[@Letmelearnya]

Glad you enjoyed the review! I actually did a review on Olipop as well if you want to check that out. They're just as expensive, but they make less "snake oil salesman" claims and there is research backing the ingredients they use.

[@katiecarr4212]

I hate artificial sweeteners too, but I found that the ginger lime flavor has little to no stevia after taste!

[@Letmelearnya]

Thanks for the tip!

[@AprilA-bu3wg]

I wish i saw this video sooner, as much as I liked these drinks i wish I knew a lot of this information sooner!! Thank you !

[@Letmelearnya]

You're so welcome!

[@LetsTalkPopCulture]

They are available right now at target for 2.45

[@Letmelearnya]

That's cool they're selling them at Target! Thanks for sharing.

[@everything-pz2ev]

Lol! The insulin explanation actually really helped!!!

[@hproductions2668]

So I did a theory for myself. I didn’t change my diet, I didn’t eat less, And my whole week was the same. Oddly enough, I lost 5 pounds drinking a poppi before lunch everyday. I’m not sure what’s the science behind that. I definitely wouldn’t want to keep paying their price. I hope in the future though, they make poppi cheaper, so people will cut back less on sugar drinks.

[@Letmelearnya]

Interesting! If it worked for you and you'd like to save moolah, the apple cider vinegar itself is what might have contributed to your results. Apple cider vinegar is cheap and you can add it to juice or water to dilute it. Poppi claims to have 1 TB of vinegar in each drink, so that can help guide you. But also keep in mind your weight can fluctuate for many reasons. 5 lbs weight loss in one week could be water loss or hormone fluctuations for example!

[@sarcasticj]

Did you shit your guts out??

[@brittanysutterfield7855]

I have been drinking poppi for about a week and one thing I will say is, it definitely curbs my appetite. The price is very high though and it does have a strange aftertaste.

[@Letmelearnya]

Interesting! That must be the ACV at work. If the price was lower and they didn't use Stevia, I'd be sold on this beverage. :)

[@kissthatlifeaway]

I don't like Stevia either, but thank you for the review. I was considering buying it.

[@boostedcoupe797]

This video was great. Coming from someone like myself that grew up drinking soda all day long. I’ve been trying to find something else that can slowly get me off that coke/Pepsi craving. Once again awesome vid very informative.

[@Letmelearnya]

Glad it was helpful! You might also want to check out my Olipop review. I ended up liking that one more than Poppi, specifically for the health benefits.

[@spencerc225]

Loving your vibe, teeth, and them eyes!!! Liked and subscribed hope to see more reviews soon!!! 😎😂🛒

[@Letmelearnya]

You're a doll! Thanks for subscribing!

[@gracerasband6899]

Thanks for sharing your knowledge with us!! This was really insightful, and as much as I like the soda, I get a snake oil salesman vibe from how little science/info they give us on the benefit of their drink.

[@Letmelearnya]

Glad it was helpful!

[@Jaguar2kicks]

Best informations I had in years lol… love it.

[@Letmelearnya]

Glad you enjoyed it!❤

[@NickChelseafan]

SUBSCRIBED! I think that was the BEST review I have ever seen on KZbin. Finally a honest review backed by science! Could you please make a review on Recess hemp infused drink and Kin Euforics drink? Thank you! You da best! 🙌

[@Letmelearnya]

Thank you so much for the kind comment and I'm glad you're here! I just added your requested drinks to my list of things to review. 😉

[@NickChelseafan]

@@Letmelearnya You earned it! Can't wait for new videos ;)

[@deneelake4060]

I hate stevia but I did think the raspberry rose flavor was the least offensive wrt stevia taste. I think they are a decent soda replacement.

[@wyldrhymetyme6709]

i have a hard time with most artificial sugar aftertaste. Can you suggest a good plant based sugar, as I have a sugar addiction and sweet, like over the top sweet is something I crave. Due to Sensory issues, taste is a thing which I have a hard time getting over. I have done diets where I don't eat process sugar for over two years and then get depressed and crave nothing else. I love your videos, please keep them coming.

[@Letmelearnya]

I usually don't use sugar substitutes myself, so unfortunately don't have any recommendations. But I would love to investigate, taste test, and do a video for you on plant-based sugars. Thank you for the idea! Also, have you tried coconut sugar?

[@DreadFool1177]

I just wanted to see a review. I really have no plan on buying a 30 dollar case of soda. Trying to reduce my soda intake anyway. Great video though.

[@alyssarose9793]

Omg!! My thoughts EXACTLY about stevia! It always tricks me on the first taste and then it hits me. I hate it!!!

[@angelicatarango]

I love your personality! had me at "breakfast tacos yo"🤣 and I agree best review I love honesty I'm one of those chronic soda drinkers from the hood so no I can't afford it I hate drinking water unless it's iced out cold looking for a good tasting alternative cause everything is either nasty or too expensive any suggestions?

[@Letmelearnya]

Girl, I've got bad news. I'm still on the lookout for a good alternative! I will say, I did enjoy the Olipop soda in vintage cola flavor. Check out my review if you want to learn about it. It's expensive (lame), it tastes delicious for mimicking a soda (minus the slight stevia aftertaste), and the ingredients actually have research supporting them improving gut health. But the fiber content is high and might give you gas, lol. We can't win! So right now the only suggestion I have is filling a pitcher with water and some of your favorite frozen fruit and keeping it in the fridge. Maybe even add a bit of fruit juice? It doesn't come close to soda, but it's pretty, contains some vitamins, and adds a slight flavor to your water! Or maybe adding some fruit juice to mineral water? I'll keep looking for a good alternative and thanks so much for your sweet comment!

[@unY0UsuaL2988]

I hate stevia but the watermelon was so dang delicious - love these

[@Letmelearnya]

Ooh, these were on sale at HEB so I'll take your recommendation and try the watermelon!

[@annbiggs7270]

I tried it and it was dusting🤮 I’ve got 8 more different flavors but I’m definitely taking these back to exchange them but the watermelon is not good!!!

[@haroldlovelady832]

The shark tank deal has a ton to do the price!!

[@Letmelearnya]

Oh snap, I didn't know that. Thanks for sharing!

[@chinaarae]

So what is your fav prebiotic? I have gut issues and this product caught my eye but I would love some recommendations for really great gut health products

[@Letmelearnya]

As a dietitian, my recommendation will always be to get your prebiotics from food first. Foods high in prebiotics are chicory root, dandelion greens, garlic, onions, leeks, and whole grains. Most plant foods have prebiotics in them, but these are the few that have the highest amount. If you can't eat those foods for whatever reason, I'd suggest finding a supplement that has inulin in it, since it is backed by the most research. The brand Jarrow, which is generally trusted and reasonably priced, has an inulin-FOS supplement. HOWEVER, if you have a FODMAPs sensitivity, a prebiotic supplement could cause more issues. I would recommend finding the root of your gut issues (if you haven't already) before supplementing with prebiotic fiber. :) Good luck!

[@Letmelearnya]

One more thing ;) If you are not FODMAP sensitive and you still wanted a tasty drink that has prebiotics in it, I'd recommend checking out Olipop. Their drinks are full of prebiotic fibers and other ingredients thought to support intestinal health. I did a review on them as well and liked their ingredients better than Poppi.

[@kaelee1989]

@@Letmelearnya how do i find the root of my gut issues what are gut issues

[@Letmelearnya]

@@kaelee1989 Gut issues can be anything from bloating, gas, diarrhea, constipation, nausea, heartburn, acid reflux, etc. Finding the root cause can be very difficult, and many benefit from working with a dietitian and/or healthcare professional to figure that out. I also recommend keeping a food journal, tracking what you eat and your symptoms, to help narrow down any triggers.

[@Iktsoi2]

When my first drank this it was sooo good, but after my gut felt weird, and it had never felt that way before. Maybe just the (good)bacteria???

[@Letmelearnya]

Interesting...you might have had an odd reaction to an ingredient or the apple cider vinegar might have increased the pH of your stomach. Apple cider vinegar is very acidic so it might have caused you some indigestion? Only things I can think of!

[@savorycity2252]

My kids and I have tried olipop and poppi. We like both, but prefer Oli pop. I agree with you on the price point though. We only have these drinks as treat. Could you review Culture Pop Soda? It's not really sweet at all like the other two pops, but I still like it.

[@Letmelearnya]

My preference was for Olipop as well and definitely recommend it over Poppi. Thanks for asking about Culture Pop soda. I hadn't heard of that yet so I'll add it to my review list!

[@oliviafloyd6848]

Did you make a video of your own concoction? I’m wary of anything I look at on Pinterest since I’m not a dietitian and don’t know if they’re really beneficial to me so would love to see what you made as a guide.

[@Letmelearnya]

Sadly, I didn't! But you inspired me to do it! I'll hopefully post it soon.

[@elektracity205]

Tried poppi for the first time and it's good but I hate stevia as well. The after taste of it is bad.

[@VicMeep]

I wish they'd stop adding "natural flavors" to stuff. I feel like more often than not it's so unnecessary and doesn't really effect the flavor that much of a product. Especially a healthy product.

[@yeswefour1738]

Can kids drink these drinks ,?

[@Letmelearnya]

These should be ok for kids to drink, as long as they aren't allergic to any of the ingredients. I actually think these might be a good alternative to sodas since the sugar content is lower. Only concern I have, that I'd suggest you addressing with your children's dentist, is the effect apple cider vinegar might have on your children's teeth. Though diluted in 12 oz of liquid, apple cider vinegar is highly acidic and I'm not sure if that could negatively impact children's teeth.

[@JoeAugustAcoustic]

I don't drink soda or hardly any non alcoholic beverages with sugar (lots of water) but I have chronic kidney disease so I've cut back drastically on alcohol consumption in recent years and instead of going for a beer, glass of wine or whiskey when I'm cooking dinner I've been drinking these poppi drinks instead and I have to say I'm kinda hooked on them. I guess I'm sort of exempt from the stevia factor because I don't consume anything else with stevia so I wouldn't typically even recognize the taste. I don't love the price but all things considered I spend a lot less on these then I used to spend on alcohol. I don't buy the bulk of the health claims either but my feeling is a lot of the health promotions are based on "this is healthier than the other crap you drink" type of logic. Anyway, me likey poppi. My favorites are the cherry limeade and ginger lime but the raspberry is pretty dang good too.

[@Letmelearnya]

What a great example of how a drink like Poppi could benefit someone. I'm so happy you found an alternative to alcohol that you're enjoying! Now if only we could get them to lower the price a bit😄

[@Landodirt]

I found pure stevia has virtually no aftertaste but processed stevia has a terrible aftertaste.

[@Letmelearnya]

I chewed on a stevia leaf once and it was delicious! So there must be something that happens during processing that gives it that icky aftertaste...

[@anisa7775]

I starting looking towards these as an alternative to Pepsi (I’ve been drinking soda for years and am having a difficult time stopping) other than that, I don’t see the “benefits” they promote

[@Letmelearnya]

You might want to check out my Olipop review if you're still looking for an alternative to Pepsi. Still expensive, but I enjoyed the cola flavor and their ingredients/claims are mostly backed by evidence.

[@MelissaSue1998]

I like sour and acidic so I can do the apple cider vinegar --❤

[@wandaemory6928]

Had the ginger lime. Tastes ok, but not sweet enough

[@emilymonte8651]

Is there any information on how much ACV is in one can? Because “infused” can mean very little in the container

[@Letmelearnya]

They claim there is 1 Tablespoon of ACV per can. Of the studies I read, you would have to drink 1TB of ACV with each meal to see benefits of some blood sugar control. Which is also why Poppi recommends drinking their soda 2-3x per day.

[@thinktankubator]

Stevia is a deal-breaker for me

[@Letmelearnya]

SERIOUSLY.

[@Cherylelizabeth20]

Thank you!

[@Letmelearnya]

You are so welcome!

[@barbie7034]

Hate stevia! Id rather have it less sweet - more seltzer-y

[@sandramathis2239]

I like it replace it with soda

[@danelleschaefer3989]

I HATE stevia too!!! It ruins everything it touches.

[@everything-pz2ev]

Can you recommend the amount of ACV and when to take it? Before food? With food? Morning/evening? 😕😕😕

[@Letmelearnya]

The amount used in the studies showing some benefit was around 1-2 TB of ACV with meals. If you're going to attempt this be careful! Vinegar is highly acidic and has the potential to damage your teeth/soft tissues in your throat. Diluting it in water or making a nice salad dressing out of it should help reduce the acidity.

[@MelissaSue1998]

Don’t say you cured stuff - oh lord ❤

[@coyoteheartdestinythesylph5902]

Never will eat or use Stevie as I Hate the taste... could never. Please Review Gts Kombucha and a few Kefir like Nature's Promise vs Lifestyle [ organic vs non...] thanks

You're an alien Deb! Just kidding 🤣

[@jamiecipres7286]

The purpose I bought this is because I’m pre diabetic. Got the gene, double whammy for me. This is so low in sugar I can enjoy soda without the consequences.

[@Letmelearnya]

That's great and I'm glad you've found something that works for you! I also did a review on Olipop. Personally, I liked that one better. More science-backed claims and beneficial ingredients.

[@catjsd]

when she called me out for watching a boring review on youtube about prebiotic soda..i feel attacked

[@booboojeffries279]

I love Stevia. I don't get any aftertaste. I consume a lot of it, too.

[@MelissaSue1998]

Ik I can’t drink it if you can taste the stevia like that no ❤

[@lynncallaway916]

I wish we would examine the traditional old soda brands like this. Traditional sodas have NO health benefits and have been contributing to obesity and making profits for decades.

[@Letmelearnya]

Maybe I should do a deep dive on traditional soda! I found the original Pepsi recipe 5 years ago, and let me tell ya, it was shocking. The ingredients were more similar to sodas like Poppi and Olipop because it was created to promote digestive health. Hence the name "Pepsi", a word play on "peptic," which means "of or pertaining to digestion." But over the decades, the recipe changed to what it is today. Super interesting!

[@lawdog214]

I hate stevia as well but these drinks are 🔥

[@Letmelearnya]

Mine tasted delicious! I'm just super sensitive to stevia I guess😓

[@agentyuna4931]

I had the raspberry rose and immediately dumped it out. I would rather drink Olipop lmaoooo

[@imSWAGEDoutraerae]

The raspberry rose is the best flavor!!!

[@Genin99]

I hate aspartame, so diet sodas are vile to me.

[@Letmelearnya]

Yeah, I have a real taste-sensitivity to all alternative sweeteners, so I agree!

[@Piecesoftheshadow]

I despise stevia too 🤢 and not a fan of this company because of their lies and claims.

[@sophiabarbosa3522]

Can you bring a drink at Walmart

I just checked and Poppi is available at Walmart! I also saw it at my local HEB, so it may be in your local grocery stores as well. :)
