Meet Poppi Soda

The Poppi Brand Story

The story of Poppi began in a Texas kitchen with a simple, disruptive idea: why should enjoying a refreshing fizzy drink mean compromising on your health? Co-founders and husband-and-wife duo Allison and Stephen Ellsworth loved the crisp, nostalgic bubbles of traditional sodas but wanted to ditch the excessive sugar, artificial sweeteners, and empty calories.

In 2016, Allison began experimenting at home, combining fresh fruit juices, apple cider vinegar, and sparkling water to craft a better kind of soft drink. What started as a home brewing passion project quickly captured the attention of investors on Shark Tank, went viral across social media, and rapidly evolved into a global beverage phenomenon. Following a major acquisition by PepsiCo, poppi made its highly anticipated international debut in the UK, transforming the British soft drinks market with its bold, colour-drenched, and flavour-forward philosophy.

What is Poppi soda?

Poppi is a modern, better-for-you carbonated soft drink designed for adults who want the nostalgic taste of classic fizzy drinks without the health drawbacks. Every 330ml can is crafted with real fruit juice, is low in sugar, low in calories, and offers an easy, delicious alternative to traditional diet sodas.

How many calories and how much sugar are in a can of Poppi?

Every can of poppi contains less than 5g of sugar and is 27 calories or fewer. The brand completely avoids harsh synthetic sweeteners like aspartame, relying instead on clean ingredients to deliver a perfectly balanced, guilt-free sweetness.

What makes poppi a high-fibre drink?

Unlike standard soft drinks, Poppi is formulated to include 3g or more of plant-based dietary fibre per serving. This inclusion provides functional nutritional value to your daily routine, allowing you to enjoy a full-flavour fizz that actively supports a modern, balanced lifestyle.
