Costco Cove Soda Review

We don’t drink a lot of pop in our house, and it’s mainly because of all the sugar! I enjoy pop, but I’d rather eat my treats than drink them. This Cove Soda promises to deliver the sweet taste of pop without the sugar and with healthy probiotics as an added bonus. Sugar-free pop that’s good for you and still tastes great? That’s a big promise. Keep reading to find out if this soda delivers!

Location in Store

This soda is located near all the other pop and beverages in Costco, usually on the side wall of the store. The item number is 1715221.

Taste

I tried all three flavors and wrote notes for each one.

The grape has a pretty typical grape soda flavor. You can tell it uses an artificial sweetener and the grape flavor is artificial.

Orange, grape and lemon-lime.

The orange soda tastes like artificial sweetener more than anything, there isn’t any strong orange flavor, the flavor is really weak. It mainly just tastes like artificial sweeteners.

Lemon lime soda has a very typical lemon-lime flavor. It also has a really strong artificial sweetener flavor.

None of these are anywhere near as good as regular soda but they’re not bad! If you’re used to artificial sweeteners you’ll probably find them tasty.

Cost

The case comes with 15 cans of soda and costs $19.99 Canadian at Costco which is really expensive in my opinion! I think the price is so high because the sodas contain probiotics so they’re kind of priced like a kombucha.

Convenience

There are three flavors in the pack and five cans of each flavor. The best-before date is about nine months from when we purchased them. These are great if you want a bit of a healthier diet pop with added probiotics.

The soda has probiotics and no sugar!

I wish the flavors were a bit different because I think I’d get tired of the three that come in the case pretty quickly.

Ingredients

All the ingredients listed with an asterisk are organic. The sweeteners are erythritol and stevia. I’m not sure if the flavors in the sodas are natural because it just says “orange flavor” and “grape flavor”. I like that there are some unique ingredients like turmeric, pink Himalayan salt and butterfly pea tea!

The difference between this soda and other typical diet sodas is that there are one billion CFU probiotics. Probiotics are good for your gut health so while this isn’t kombucha it’s better for your gut than just plain soda.

Scoring

Taste: 7/10

Overall

Give it a try!

If you’re looking for a low-carb, zero-sugar beverage with the added health benefits of probiotics you may want to try this. Personally, I don’t love them and won’t be repurchasing them.

  1. I’m diabetic and one would think this would be a good alternative to other diet pops, but at that price forget it! Plus I don’t like grape sodas, so not worth it in my opinion. And if all it tastes like is artificial sweetener, what’s the point!
    Thanks as always for your great review.
