Energize and hydrate with this certified-organic beverage fueled by guarana, green tea, ginseng, added electrolytes and 100 percent of the recommended daily value of B vitamins. Each 8.4-ounce can delivers 100 mg of caffeine but only 15 grams of sugar, much less than many competitors because it uses a cane sugar–stevia blend.
Bubbling with bright tamarind and lime notes, this new beverage delights the tongue. Add energy-boosting, Fair Trade Certified yerba maté for 120 mg of naturally occurring caffeine, and you’ve got one of the cleanest energy drinks on the market. More kudos for being Non-GMO Project Verified and Certified B Corp.
B vitamins, vitamin C and electrolytes trickle from the lid once you twist the cap on this nutrient-enhanced water that delivers 50 mg of caffeine from goji berry and yerba maté extracts. Because the nutrients deteriorate when they sit in water, they’re stored safely in the lid. I love the innovation and that the calorie-free, stevia-sweetened beverage comes in a convenient BPA-free squeeze bottle.
Gently energize with this low-caffeine beverage that uses botanicals including yerba maté, wood betony leaves, cinnamon bark, nutmeg seeds, and ginseng, angelica, turmeric and ginger roots. Each 12-ounce can offers 30 mg of caffeine and only 12 grams of sugar because it relies on grape and orange juices rather than added sweeteners.
It might taste like mocha chocolate milk, but this blended energy drink made with açaí, yerba maté, fair-trade coffee and green tea extract delivers a whole lot more. Expect 80 mg of caffeine, 9 grams of whole-food protein and a healthy dose of omega-3s per 10.5-ounce bottle. It’s also Non-GMO Project Verified, Certified B Corp, certified organic and vegan.

Sure, delivering energy is great. But for a natural boost, savvy consumers can just as easily reach for green tea or coffee, which, in addition to offering antioxidant benefits, each contain a single, safe ingredient, unlike energy drinks’ dizzying array of additives. So to capture consumers’ attention, natural drinks must offer more than just a healthy energy lift—think electrolytes, protein, fiber and a dose of vitamins. Manufacturers know consumers are scrutinizing labels more than ever, so most play up the use of clean energy from antioxidant-rich yerba maté and a modest to moderate amount of caffeine—nothing like the 250 mg found in a can of Rockstar Energy Drink. Price of entry is also kept at less than $3 to entice new shoppers to try these drinks and to compete with spendier conventional brands.
