OLIPOP Debuts its Blackberry Vanilla and Raspberry Sherbet Flavors

— April 30, 2026 — Lifestyle
OLIPOP has introduced 'Blackberry Vanilla' and 'Raspberry Sherbet,' expanding its functional beverage lineup. Raspberry Sherbet, a limited-edition release, blends tangy raspberry notes with smooth vanilla undertones, offering a balanced profile of acidity and creaminess. Available for a limited time in 12 oz cans and a variety pack format within OLIPOP’s "6g Fiber" line.

Blackberry Vanilla, now a permanent offering, returns following strong consumer demand. It combines blackberry, apple, mandarin, and lemon juices with subtle vanilla notes, delivering a layered and refreshing flavor with each can containing 5 grams of sugar and 9 grams of fiber.

To support the launch, OLIPOP introduced 'The Berry Sipport Center,' a promotional campaign beginning May 8. Consumers can submit a request online for a chance to receive a complimentary case, with over 1,000 cases distributed during the two-week activation period.
