Health-Ade is expanding its SunSip prebiotic soda line with two new flavours: Dr Bubbles and Cream Soda.

These options join the existing line-up of gut-healthy sodas that are sweetened naturally with fruit juice, monk fruit and organic cane sugar. With 6g or less of sugar per can and 40 calories, they offer a healthier alternative to traditional sugary sodas.

Dr Bubbles reimagines the classic Doctor soda with a black cherry base and subtle spices, while Cream Soda offers a nostalgic creamy vanilla flavour with caramelised notes. SunSip’s sodas are designed to support gut health with added prebiotics and vitamins such as C, B6 and B12, as well as minerals like zinc and selenium.

The Dr Bubbles and Cream Soda flavours have been designed without the aftertaste often associated with stevia, which makes them an appealing option for consumers seeking a better-for-you soda.

The new flavours, retailing at $2.49 per can, will initially be available at Whole Foods for six months before reaching other retailers.
