What You Should Know

You'd spot this sparkling yerba mate in the refrigerated natural beverage section or grab a chilled bottle for a picnic, brunch, or an afternoon pick-me-up. It gives a refreshingly adventurous, slightly indulgent vibe—organic yerba mate and cherry suggest a health-forward product, but the added cane sugar, natural flavors, extracts and carbonation point to an industrial, bubbly formulation common in ultra-processed drinks.

Common Questions about Yerba Madre Organic Cherry Jubilation Sparkling Yerba Mate, 12 FZ

Well, 'healthy' can be a bit subjective, right? This sparkling drink is organic and free from preservatives and artificial ingredients, which is a plus. However, it does have 25 grams of sugar per can, so if you're watching your sugar intake, you might want to enjoy it in moderation.
