Put Down The Red Bull: Four Clean Energy Drinks
-
Runa
Runa is an organic energy line based on guayusa, a naturally caffeinated tree leaf brewed like tea. Traditionally used in Ecuador and Colombia, it comes flavored, but we suggest opting for the unsweetened, zero-calorie version, which is made with brewed organic guayusa and organic lime extract.
Clean Energy, $40 for a case of 24
-
Guayaki
Available in bottles (pictured here) as well as in energy shot form, yerba mate is a plant rich in caffeine and antioxidants. Opt for unsweetened flavors when possible.
Yerba Mate, $39.99 for 12 Bottles
-
EBOOST
Available in powder form (mix the powder with a little bit of water and a lot of crushed ice, and you'll be surprised at how amazing EBOOST tastes) as well as in shot form, this energy booster is very low in calories and all flavors are made without sugar. It's loaded with B12, which is what gives it its boost of energy. This is a very popular pre-workout option.
Energy Shots and Powders, $28-$42
