Simply Push is a line of reduced-sugar sodas marketed as “A Better Soda,” available in Pineapple, Orange, and Strawberry varieties. Each 12 oz. can contains 45 calories and 11 grams of added sugar, with sweetness coming from a blend of sugar and monk fruit. The result is a light, refreshing drinking experience that sits comfortably between sparkling water and traditional soda, delivering enough sweetness to satisfy without feeling heavy.
Things that stand out:
- The calorie and sugar profile feels well balanced. At 45 calories per can, Simply Push delivers more flavor and satisfaction than most flavored sparkling waters while remaining significantly lighter than conventional soda.
- Pineapple and Orange are the strongest flavors in the lineup. Both offer bright fruit notes, a clean finish, and a natural-tasting profile that keeps the product refreshing.
- There’s enough sweetness to feel like a soda, but it avoids the syrupy character that can make traditional soft drinks feel overly heavy.
- The packaging is clean and easy to understand with large fruit graphics, simple typography, and soft color palettes. Flavor identification is quick and approachable.
Things to consider:
- Strawberry is the weakest of the three flavors. It has a slightly artificial character that comes across more like strawberry flavoring than fresh fruit.
- While the design is clean, it might be a bit too minimalist to the point where it risks being mistaken for a store-brand product when viewed from a distance.
- The brand could benefit from stronger visual cues that reinforce its positioning and help it stand out in the increasingly crowded better-for-you soda category.
