Prebiotic sodas are taking over your grocery drink aisle

MEMPHIS, Tenn. (Youdle) – You've probably noticed the explosion of prebiotic beverages lining store shelves, and there's a reason they're everywhere right now. Many beverages have followed the viral success of prebiotic sodas like Olipop and Poppi. Even Pepsi is releasing a prebiotic version of its flagship soda in early 2026, according to reporting from Taste of Home.

These drinks promise gut health benefits and have become the fastest-growing category in the beverage section. What started as a niche health trend is now mainstream — major brands are investing heavily because consumers are actively seeking alternatives to traditional sodas.

Prebiotic drinks appeal to you because they taste like regular soda but promise digestive benefits. They're positioned as a healthier choice, which means you're seeing them positioned everywhere from corner stores to major chains. The trend shows how quickly your shopping preferences are shifting toward functional beverages.
