What You Should Know

You'd spot this bright can in the natural/organic beverage aisle or chilled with other energy drinks — a grab-before-you-go pick for late shifts, road trips, or an afternoon slump. It markets a natural, 'clean-energy' vibe with sparkling texture and herbal extracts that feels both functional and slightly indulgent. The ingredient list (added cane sugar, juice concentrate, organic flavors and concentrated extracts) and the formulated nature of the drink suggest a manufactured, highly processed product rather than a single whole food.

Common Questions about Organic Energy Drink, 12 FZ

The GURU Energy Drink has some perks, like being organic and free from artificial ingredients. However, it does contain 30 grams of sugar per can, which is on the higher side. So, while it can provide a quick energy boost, it's best enjoyed in moderation, especially if you're watching your sugar intake.
