Sidekick Soda, refreshing and crisp, keen to try the other flavours now as had never tried. Highly recommend.
We had the strawberry flavor, we enjoyed it and especially liked how it’s not too sweet.
Perfect refresher after hard yakka in the garden today 💚
It was gone before I even got a chance to taste it! Even my sidekick Bruno got more of a taste than I did! Must of been good!
The strawberry soda was very refreshing after being out in the garden. A different flavour with the splash of apple cider vinegar.
A refreshing surprise! Definitely tastes like fresh strawberries 🍓
I couldn't do the texture but the fizz was nice and the flavour. The teenager was a fan 🙂
This is yum!!
Definitely will be buying this now that I’ve tried it. Great ‘sidekick’ for many things!
Yum! I love the authentic strawberry taste with a hint of fizz. 😉
My son decided the soda was his. He loved it
A perfect spring drink! Great flavour.
Beautiful & refreshing! Shared and enjoyed 🙂
Loved this tasted so much like strawberries, definitely no artificial taste.
One of the best drinks I have ever tried hands down, didnt realise its actually pretty healthy until afterwards! 🍓
Interesting taste. A little too sweet for me but very delicious. 😊😊😊
That was very nice 🍓
Refreshing! Perfect drink for summer.
So good. Forgot to take a photo but loved trying the strawberry.
Great product, love how it balances my gut health. One star off as I ordered 3 cases and they were meant to have a three month plus expiry but the ones that arrived only had two months so a lot of drinking or waste ahead
Best healthy soda out there! Shipping was slow but worth the wait!
yummy
Yum! great healthier alternative to many juices or sodas, perfect for summer too
