OLIPOP in the UK: Where to Buy It, What It Tastes Like, and Which Flavour to Start With
OLIPOP is the drink that made "healthy soda" a real category in the US — a prebiotic pop with 2–5g of sugar and 9g of fibre per can that somehow tastes like the sodas you grew up with. In the UK it's still mostly an import item, which is exactly why "olipop uk" searches keep climbing. Here's the honest guide.
What it actually is
Each can blends sparkling water, fruit juices and a plant-fibre mix (cassava root, chicory inulin, calendula). The result: soda taste, a fraction of the sugar of a regular cola (2–5g vs ~39g), and a meaningful chunk of your daily fibre. It's not a magic health drink — it's a dramatically better-for-you soda.
Which flavour first?
- Vintage Cola — the safest landing for cola drinkers.
- Orange Squeeze — Fanta energy, less sugar-sweet.
- Cream Soda — the cult favourite; vanilla without the syrup weight.
- Sampler packs — genuinely the smart first order while you find your flavour.
Where to buy in the UK
UK supermarkets don't reliably stock OLIPOP yet; most fans buy multipacks online from US-import grocers (that's us — UK-based delivery, priced in GBP). Its rival Poppi is even harder to find in the UK — if you're choosing by availability, OLIPOP wins here right now.
Quick answers
Does it taste like diet soda? No — the fibre and juice give it body that diet sodas lack. Closer to "craft soda, less sweet".
How much caffeine? Most flavours are caffeine-free; Vintage Cola and Doctor Goodwin carry a mild ~50mg or less. Check each can.
Is 9g of fibre a lot? It's about a third of the way to the UK's 30g daily target — ease in with one can a day if fibre is new to you.
