People love root beer for its nostalgic, spiced sweetness, and they can now reach for a better-for-you Root Beer Slice Soda flavor that delivers the same satisfaction with added functional benefits and cleaner ingredients. While there are plenty of prebiotic sodas on the market, Slice sets itself apart as the only brand in the healthy soda category to feature prebiotics, probiotics, and postbiotics.
The all-new Root Beer Slice Soda variety comes in at just 30 calories, three grams of sugar per can with five grams of fiber, promising "all the best parts of traditional soda, including satisfyingly high carbonation, but never the bad stuff like high fructose corn syrup."
This familiar, enticing flavor for wellness-minded consumers joins other reinvented classics from Slice, like Lemon Lime, Classic Cola, and Cherry Cola.
