Summary

This soda features a relatively clean ingredient list with natural sweeteners like monk fruit extract and apple juice concentrate, which are healthier alternatives to artificial sweeteners. The use of vegetable juice for coloring avoids artificial dyes, and the inclusion of probiotics is a positive addition for gut health. However, the presence of 'natural flavors' introduces some processing concerns, as these can be complex and less transparent.
