These Are The Best Prebiotic Soda Poppi Dupes To Save Your Budget

Healthy prebiotic sodas have been all the rage recently. Soda brands Poppi and Olipop are marketing their drinks as low calorie, low sugar, and high fiber options in comparison to their competitors. With their wide ranges of unique flavors and enticing packings, Poppi and Olipop offer an option for everyone to enjoy. 

But, as with many foods and beverages, the healthier options are often more expensive. Sometimes you don’t have the budget to spend nearly $3 on a small can of soda. As Poppi and Olipop have grown in popularity, competitors are making cheaper versions to break into the healthy soda scene. If you want to try prebiotic sodas without breaking the bank, here are the best Olipop and Poppi dupes to quench your thirst.

Zevia

A naturally-flavored, zero sugar soda, Zevia sells healthy versions of common soda brands including Mountain Zevia, Dr. Zevia, and Mountain Lime Zevia. Notable other flavors include Vanilla Cola, Ginger Root Beer, and Strawberry.

Culture Pop

Both stevia- and sugar-free, Culture Pop is a comparable alternative to Poppi and Olipop, but slightly cheaper. Costing $2.75 per can, its unique flavors like Strawberry & Rhubarb, Ginger Lemon & Turmeric, and Pink Grapefruit & Ginger give this soda its draw.

Summit Popz

Available at Aldi, Summit’s Popz line offers fun duo flavors such as Raspberry Rose, Strawberry Lemon, Lemon Lime, and Cherry Lime. At $1.75 a can, Popz are definitely a cheaper option with similar ingredients. It also has cute packaging!

Although Sparkling Ice isn’t packaged in a can, it still is equally as refreshing as Poppi and Olipop. Costing about $1.40 per bottle, Sparkling Ice is not necessarily a prebiotic soda, but it does contain numerous vitamins and minerals. Its flavors are fruity, with Kiwi Strawberry and Orange Mango being two options.

Evolution Fresh

Although Evolution Fresh is on the pricier end of dupes, costing $2.69, it offers delicious fruity flavors while being both prebiotic and probiotic. With flavors like Tropical Mango, Orange Squeeze, and Strawberry Vanilla, Evolution Fresh sodas are sure to be refreshing.

Spindrift

Yes, Spindrift is a sparkling water, but many note it as having a stronger, sweeter flavor than most other sparkling waters. This makes it comparable to prebiotic sodas. Reddit users recommend adding a bit of stevia to enhance the flavors. Costing about $1 when bought in bulk, Spindrift offers fruity flavors such as Island Punch and Strawberry Lemonade.
