While we can agree that an ice-cold soda is a delicious and refreshing treat, it’s no secret that guzzling sugary drinks by the gallon can have some serious health consequences. While these things are fine in moderation, when possible it’s best to choose options that are lower in sugar as well as artificial ingredients. You can’t go wrong with plain old water, but sometimes it’s fun to enjoy a sweet and sparkling beverage. Luckily, there are tons of healthier options on the market today and some of them even have health benefits! Here are some of our favorites you can find at your local health food store:

Olipop

This alternative soda brand is low in sugar with only 2-5 grams per can, depending on the flavor. Compare that to about 11 grams in a regular soda, and you’re already off to a great start! Their sodas also contain over 30% of the daily recommended value of fiber, which can help keep you full and your blood sugar stable. They have classic flavors like Cola and Root Beer, but our favorite is the Strawberry Vanilla!

Poppi

Who would think to make soda using apple cider vinegar? Luckily, the creator of Poppi did, and now we get to enjoy it. It’s low in sugar yet as delicious as regular soda, with all of the health benefits of ACV!
