Got a case of Lacroix fatigue? I have some good news for you if you plan to hit up a Sprouts Farmers Market store. There are SO many other exciting options for non-alcoholic drinks at Sprouts that you can choose from.
We’re talking caffeinated seltzers, craft sodas, prebiotic sparkling waters, CBD-infused sparkling water, adaptogen drinks, nootropic spritzers, and more!
Gone are the days when non-drinkers were relegated to juice and soda. Thanks to fantastic stores like Sprouts Farmers Market, who understand that more people are choosing to go alcohol-free, either more of the time or all of the time.
Here’s a list of Sprouts’ 21 most interesting non-alcoholic beverages for any occasion, based on a recent trip I took to the store. Note that your local Sprout’s may or may not have the exact same items and prices. On the flip side, I found that Sprout’s prices were generally the same or cheaper than if you purchase these drinks from the brands’ websites. Score!

Top Alcohol-Free Drinks at Sprouts Market
1. Space Tea
Space Tea is on a mission to promote mental wellness through music, meditation and mushrooms with the world’s first mushroom tea mixed with lemonade. A new twist on the classic Arnold Palmer. Its brand and website harken back to the simple days in the 90s – when we were all watching music videos on tv and wearing bucket hats.
What makes this drink interesting is that it offers the functional benefits of adaptogenic reishi and lion’s mane mushrooms for uplifting energy, calm focus, and mood-boosting mental clarity.

As I mentioned in the Ultimate Guide to Alcohol Alternatives, Kin Euphorics, which was cofounded by sober supermodel, Bella Hadid, is an exciting “bevy” for anyone looking to relax without alcohol.
A ray of sunshine for your mind, this gently caffeinated spritz is infused with adaptogens, nootropics, and botanics like Rhodiola Rosea, 5-HTP, and GABA to elevate your mood, relieve stress, and offer an energy boost. It tastes like a sparkling, herbaceous blend of bright ginger, orange bitters, hibiscus, and citrus.
If you’re looking for something sweet, this ain’t it! But, if you like the taste of aperol, you might appreciate this.

4. United Sodas of America
Not in the mood for sparkling water? United Sodas of America is the perfect drink between water and a traditional soda since it’s not too sweet but has fantastic flavor.
To avoid that weird, fake sweetener taste, they spent years developing a proprietary blend of three organic, plant-derived ingredients that work together perfectly. A touch of cane sugar gives every can undeniably natural sweetness, while organic erythritol and organic stevia boost the taste without adding unnecessary sugars or calories.
And, I’ve got to say, this soda is WAY more natural and better tasting than other soda alternatives that use stevia. I tried the white grape and instantly fell in love.
From the branding to the packaging, United Sodas embody the minimalist millennial spirit captured in a can. Cheers to making soda great again!

While it claims not to have any artificial sweeteners, colors, flavors, or preservatives, I tried the Root Beer Vanilla Float flavor, which definitely tasted… interesting.
My boyfriend and I agreed that it had an artificial taste, so I probably won’t get it again, but I love the concept!

11. Poppi
For ages, people have turned to apple cider vinegar (ACV) to improve their digestive health, and the “Glucose Goddess” – aka Jesse Inchauspie, author of Glucose Revolution – touts the benefits of drinking it before eating to maintain healthy blood sugar levels.
Apple cider vinegar also supports immunity since 70% of your body’s immunity begins with your gut, and because it may help balance your skin’s pH, it could help to refine your complexion, stop breakouts, and reduce inflammation.
So, I was sold when I discovered that Poppi, a prebiotic “all grown up” soda, is a soda that gives you a dose of ACV without the taste!
I tried the ginger lime flavor. Delightful.
It’s not overly sweet; I’d say it falls in between a seltzer and a soda.
