Olipop:The Brilliantly Delicious Microbiome Drink

I've been raving on Instagram about Olipop ever since I first discovered it at my local Sprouts. I have never been a traditional soda pop drinker since I have always known the health dangers of the plethora of sodas filled with coloring, sugar and caffeine.

Carmel color and other artificial colors have been linked to cancer, sugar like high-fructose corn syrup have been liked to diabetes, and caffeine is linked to heart attacks. No thanks!

But Olipop has been a life changer, both to my taste buds and my digestive health.

90% of our immune system comes from our gut...90%. That number sure makes you want to run out to take care of your gut doesn't it? Well, run out and get Olipop for essential gut needs all captured in beautifully labeled cans of goodness.

According to Olipop's research ran by a global team of leading human gut research pioneers, "And all signs pointed us towards the microbiome as the root cause of disease. Each of us possesses our own unique microbiome: a multi-trillion sized army of single cell organisms that protect us against germs, break down our meals, release energy and produce vitamins. It’s our job to feed the little armies that live within us, so that they can continue to fight to keep us healthy. The gut-brain axis is responsible for many essential functions like immune, brain, and emotional health. In order for it to function, our microbiome, the collection of bacteria in our gut".

Fiber is also dangerously lacking in the American diet. While our ancestors were hunters and gathers and therefore consumed thousands of grams of fiber daily, our highly processed-based diets are starving for fiber. Olipop to the rescue again!

Just look at the ingredients in every one of their drinks of deliciousness:

Marshmallow root-Fiber

Calendula-Healing and soothing the gut

Cassava root-Pre-biotic fiber

Slippery Elm Bark-Antioxidants

Nopal Cactus-Fiber, antioxidants, and carotenoids (One of my favorite ingredients) Cactus is also high in vitamin e

Kudzu Root-Fiber

Jerusalem artichoke-Inulin, potassium, iron and antioxidants

Chicory root-inulin for balanced digestion

And depending on the flavor, they use fresh fruits, spices and herbs to round out the perfect flavor.

There are 2-5 g of sugar, 9g of fiber, and 45 cal 6-7 net carbs in each can!

What is most amazing to me personally is how they have created the perfect dup for your favorite soda drinks.

The Classic Root Beer tastes exactly like main stream root beer, Vintage Cola tastes exactly like Coke, Cheery Vanilla is my go-to when I have a raging sweet tooth, and Orange Cream and Strawberry Vanilla are equally stunning.

I have a neighbor that has diabetes and said that one of the things he missed most about his old eating habits was Coke. I went to Sprouts and bought him the Vintage Cola and he drove to the store immediately after drinking it and said that it made him so happy to have a flavor he missed the most back in his life and that it wouldn't affect his diabetes.

Ben and David of Olipop have a "Vision of a healthier, tastier future" and I can honestly say that anytime I drink Olipop I feel I am taking care of my health and with these drinks in my life, I have a healthy future.

I whole-heartedly agree with their mission statement that "If we respect and intelligently nourish the life within us (our microbiome), it will repay us in kind. The same goes for our environment, our neighbors and our world."

Cheers Olipop for changing the world one drink at a time.
