Poppi

The first time we took a sip of Poppi, we were shocked to find out that it’s not chalk full of sugar and other bad ingredients. Poppi is a prebiotic soda that has 4-5g of sugar and 15-20 calories per can.The superstar ingredients in this soda are apple cider vinegar and fruit juice.

The Strawberry Lemonade is one of Poppi’s standout flavor that tastes as good as it looks. Poppi’s cans are bright and bold and guaranteed to stand out on your phone, computer screen, or retail shelves.

Daydream

Daydream soda is a vibe and just looking at the can makes you instantly relaxed.  Daydream contains zero caffeine and sugar, but it does have hemp-extract and adaptogens. WTF does that actually mean? Don’t worry, we got ya! Adaptogens are plants or herbs that help your body manage stress and restore it to a balanced state. If any plant or herb wants to be invited into the adaptogen club, it has to fit 3 main criteria:

1. Nontoxic at normal doses
2. Support the whole body’s ability to cope with stress
3. Help bring the body to a stable state after a stressful event

Daydream’s hemp extract better known as hemp-oil is an adaptogen, non-cannabis, and contains 0% THC and0% CBD. Daydream comes in three flavors like peach ginger, cucumber lime, and blackberry chai.

Sapsucker

Ever heard of sparkling tree water? Well, now you have. Sapsucker is sparkling tree water that’s made from Canadian maple trees. It’s naturally sweetened from the maple trees in Ontario and Quebec making it a nice break from the classic, cane sugar that us Americans are used to.

Plink!

Plink! can transform any basic glass of water into a healthy, bubbly, flavorful drink. While Plink! is low in sugar and calories, it’s also packed with electrolytes like sodium and potassium which is an added bonus if you’re looking for a beverage you can drink after a workout or a night out.
