Replacing Yesterday's Energy Drinks

As older energy drinks that only contained lots of sugar and caffeine start to fizzle out, a new healthier kind of energy drink, with more natural ingredients, are starting to take their place.


Those who use to drink energy drinks strictly for the caffeine buzz are finding out about an ingredient used in today’s healthier energy drinks called “Guarana”. This natural ingredient is similar to caffeine but is timed released so your energy boost is more of a gradual effect rather than all at once. This natural superiority of healthy energy drinks is taking its toll on those older junk energy drinks that ruled the market in the years past.


Guarana has something in it called theobromine. This ingredient is what is in real chocolate that gives chocolate its "feel good" effect when eaten. Since guarana has this "feel good" ingredient also, the healthy energy drinks of today will more than likely contain guarana instead of caffeine.


There are also healthier energy drinks that come in a “Sugar Free” version. The sugar free version will use Sucralose, or better known as Splenda. Sucralose will still give a sweet taste, but without the added calories of regular sugar. The FDA has determined that sucralose is safe for human consumption and does not pose carcinogenic, reproductive, or neurological risks to humans based on over 100 research safety studies


One of the healthy energy drinks that I drink and recommend is a new one called VERVE!



Verve is a radically different energy drink that finally has everything you’re looking for in your energy boost. Packed full of insanely healthy good stuff like all your vitamins and low in natural sugar, like what you find in oranges. Verve is a tropical fruit flavor explosion that keeps you going so you can conquer whatever life smacks in front of you.




Verve even contains phytonutrient-rich antioxidants that come from the xanthone-rich mangosteen fruit, glyconutrient-rich aloe vera and green tea.


Sugar free Verve has the same unique formula, providing all the energy, vitamins, minerals and nutrients as the original Verve, but Sugar free Verve has only 4 calories, 1 carbohydrate and No Sugar.


If you have thought about trying an energy drink but was afraid of all the bad stuff you have heard, you should give Verve a try. It not only has a great fruity taste, but with the vitamins and minerals in it, it’s actually Good for you.
