A better sip,
built close to home.
HealthySips began with a simple belief: better-for-you should never feel like settling. What follows is the story of two founders, one shared vision, and four flavours created to bring people together.
Made in ManitobaA gap on the shelf, and a better answer.
Most adult drinks ask you to choose between feeling good in the moment and feeling good the next morning. We didn’t love the trade-off. So we made something you can sip, celebrate, and still feel good about tomorrow.
We kept looking for a drink that was both bar-worthy and morning-friendly, and kept coming up empty. So we made it.
The HealthySips team
The brief was simple.
Our goal was simple: create Winnipeg's premium local mocktail brand using high-quality natural ingredients, low calories, and incredible flavour.
Most of the ready-to-drink mocktails available in Canada are imported from the U.S. We wanted to offer a local alternative that Manitobans could be proud of, crafted close to home without compromising on quality or taste.
Built by wellness experts who believe better-for-you should still taste great.
Two friends with decades in wellness, fitness, nutrition, and community engagement now bring that same care to the drinks we gather around.
“We’ve spent our careers helping people feel better in their bodies. HealthySips came from a simple idea: could we make a drink worth raising that still feels good tomorrow?”

A Winnipeg-born mocktail with community in every can.
The best things are rarely made alone.
We could have built HealthySips anywhere. Instead, we kept it close to home.
From R&D and brewing to design, labels, packaging, and fulfillment, HealthySips came together with Canadian partners, many of them right here in Winnipeg.
That means something to us. This is a city where people show up, lend a hand, and take pride in doing things well. Every can carries a little of that care with it.
A network of specialists doing what they do best.
These are the our partners who helped turn an idea into something you can hold, pour, see, and share.
