Summer is finally here! As the weather starts to heat up, there’s no better time to reach for a drink that not only cools you down but also makes you feel good from the inside out. This summer, say goodbye to sugary sodas and heavy cocktails and hello to a new wave of better-for-you beverages.
From sparkling botanical waters to low-sugar sodas and functional drinks packed with vitamins, these refreshing sips are designed to hydrate, energize, and support your wellness goals without compromising on that perfectly ~crispy~ flavour.
poppi
Soda is back! poppi is the fizzy, feel-good soda that’s rewriting the rules on what a soft drink can be. Made with real fruit juice, apple cider vinegar, and prebiotics, each can is 5g of sugar or less, 35 calories or less, and actually good for your gut. It’s the perfect swap for anyone craving bold flavour without the crash—or the guilt. With fun, vibrant packaging and iconic celebrity endorsements (hello Post Malone and Kylie Jenner!), poppi has become our go-to better-for-you beverage.
Just in time for summer, poppi has launched two new flavours in Canada:
- Wild Berry: A juicy blend of tart raspberry, sweet blueberry, and ripe strawberry
- Lemon Lime: A zesty, citrus-forward refresh that gives classic lemon-lime soda a better-for-you makeover
poppi’s new flavours are available nationwide at select retailers. To find poppi near you, check out their store locator here.
