It’s time to get creative with your thirst-quenching options. Some drinks contain more added sugar and nasty ingredients than we realise, so mixing things up now and then can make a difference. Swapping your usual fizzy drink for a sparkling, gut-friendly kombucha or a fruit-based drink is a great place to start. Whether it’s vitamins, electrolytes or an extra hit of protein, sipping smarter is all about enjoying drinks that you wouldn't usually choose – and that’s why we’ve got you covered with a choice of tasty picks.
Part of our Kombucha ‘with Benefits’ trio, Energy is designed to revitalise and refresh with floral mango and tart yuzu. This sparkling, fruity fermented tea is made to keep you going. The secret ingredients? Ashwagandha and vitamin B12, the latter helps to reduce tiredness and fatigue.1 Perfect for when you need a little extra support throughout the day, during a break, meeting or commuting.
Are you a coffee drinker? If yes, then Cheerful Buddha is here with their lion’s mane version. Lion's mane is a functional fungi – but don’t worry, it won’t make your morning brew taste like mushrooms. The Colombian Arabica coffee blend means there’s no compromise on taste, giving you a smooth cup of joe infused with mushrooms.
All you need is a cafetière and 10 minutes to soak in the peace and quiet. What’s more, if you prefer to avoid caffeine, Cheerful Buddha has ground up a decaf version too. However you have your coffee, as a tall iced latte, a warming cappuccino or a no faff americano, this will leave you feeling as bright as the Cheerful Buddha himself.
Maybe you’ve used magnesium salts in the hopes of supporting your muscles. But did you know that magnesium can help reduce tiredness?3 And that’s not all. Magnesium also contributes to electrolyte balance, meaning this citrusy drink is great for hydration.4 This lime and bergamot cooler is high in the vital mineral and is designed to contribute to the reduction of tiredness, it’s a double win when staying active. Great for those gym days!
Looking for something a bit more fun than water? Try this blend of grape and apple juices with added ginseng, vitamin C and vitamin B complex (including vitamin B6 and niacin, both known to help reduce tiredness and fatigue).5,6 With 99kcal per bottle, it’s a fizzy fix that’s perfect when you need a boost offering the ideal mix of goodness and great taste.
Expertly formulated to help you get ready to move – without the caffeine. With a light, fruity melonberry flavour and no unnecessary extras, Cadence Core Hydration delivers science-backed electrolytes in a zero sugar, zero calorie formula designed to properly support your body. Whether you’re training hard, on the go or powering through a busy day, it’s a simple way to keep your electrolytes topped up.
Can you handle the heat? Ginger, chilli and black pepper are here to put a little fire in your belly. But the real star is freshly pressed turmeric juice, with its natural golden colouring deriving from curcumin – a polyphenol part of the ginger family, which has been shown to have antioxidant effects.7,8,9 If you’re in need of a zing without added sugar or caffeine, then you can best enjoy this small-but-mighty turmeric shot straight from the fridge before your morning workout or your daily commute.
The final say
Choosing drinks with benefits isn’t just a trend, it’s a smart and tasty way to support your health while still enjoying what you sip. Whether it's fuelling your day or enlivening your taste buds, drinks can offer so much more than just refreshment. And if you’re thirsty for more, check out these recipes: high-protein iced matcha latte, superfood gut smoothie high in vitamin C or a comforting cacao powder hot chocolate.
