Better-for-you soft drink company, Bobby, has added three new flavours to its range of 98 per cent sugar free drinks – Vanilla Cola, Doctor Bobby, and Lemon Lime.

The Melbourne based company has been active for just two years, and has expanded its range from four core flavours to 10.

The company is also proud of its certified climate neutral status. It works with an independent team from Climate Active to build strategies that support its sustainable activities, with a 2025 goal to be carbon negative. One of these steps is that the cans used for packaging are made with 60 per cent recycled aluminium on average.

Vanilla Cola, Doctor Bobby, and Lemon Lime are vegan and gluten-free, with no artificial flavours. They join the full range, which contains Lemon, Orange, Cola, Ginger Beer, Passion Fruit, Berry, and Creamy Soda.

Bobby states that each can contains just 38-42 calories, compared to an average 125-180 calories for other brands, and includes natural prebiotics that aim to aid digestion and increase beneficial bacteria in the gut.

The new flavours and the full range are available online at drinkbobby.com, as well as at independent retailers for RRP $4.00 per can, or $48.00 for a 12 pack.
