If you’re anything like us, you often feel like a hamster on a wheel, and rely on numerous cups of espresso, a can of coke – or two – just to get those tasks ticked off your endless to do list.
We have all heard the warnings about excessive caffeine intake, and the high sugar content in some energy drinks, so what’s the alternative? Virtue’s clean energy drink.
These energy drinks have been hailed ‘the healthiest energy drink in the UK’ by influencers as the cans are zero sugar, contain zero calories, and formulated with natural caffeine to keep you going.
Virtue’s beverages are super powered by yerba mate, which is a natural source of caffeine. Not only does it boost energy, but this key ingredient is packed with antioxidants, vitamins, minerals and amino acids to ensure our body has the correct balance of nutrients to function at its optimum.
What we also love is yerba mate not only provides long-lasting energy, but it claims to support mental clarity and focus. Now this combination is rare, in my opinion. Whenever I have a cup of coffee I get a sudden burst of energy and feel wide awake, but I am then left with the jitters and a scrambled mind. Yet, Virtue’s creation avoids the caffeine crash, jitters and an overstimulated brain. Plus, yerba mate is also known to stimulate the release of GLP-1, which is a hormone that helps regulate metabolism and appetite. Safe to say this energy drink is more than just an energy drink.
Virtue has, quite frankly, revolutionised the energy drink space as we know it with this natural, clean and non-artificial drink, which is loved by elite athletes (sadly we don’t quite fall into that category).
Metro’s own shopping expert Sarah has been trying the drinks over the past few days, and had this to say: ‘I gave up drinking caffiene a few years ago, but have been searching for that thing to give me a boost in the morning – and Virtue has been great – not to mention delicious.’
‘I’ve loved how I feel throughout the day, compared to when I was drinking coffee or anything else that was highly caffinated.’
‘I felt more productive, less anxious during the day and still managed to get an undisturbed night’s sleep.’
She went on to add: ‘In the summer, this is 100% going to be the drink I opt for on my way to work, over an iced (decaf) coffee, before hitting Reformer Pilates or meeting friends after work, and need an extra dose of energy!’
Aside from Sarah, England’s international footballers Eberechi Eze and Chris Smalling have invested in the brand because they believe in its efficacy and ethos.
Eze shared: ‘Virtue is more than just an energy drink to me, it’s a brand I truly believe in. Its clean energy aligns with my lifestyle on and off the pitch. I am excited to be part of a brand that is all about a natural, healthier way to energise.’
Shoppers are also impressed with the drink too, which has racked up over 2,000 reviews on Amazon.
One shopper shared: ‘These drinks are lovely and refreshing, best served chilled. No calories so perfect for anytime of the day. They have a lovely crisp taste to them, nothing artificial in them at all. I love the taste of peach and raspberry together.’
Another gushed: ‘Really great peach & raspberry tasting energy drink – my personal favourite thing about Virtue is that it is all natural, you feel good after taking it and I never feel like I’m giving my body anything more than written on the can. I think it works perfectly for my balanced diet and healthy lifestyle, gives me the kick I need when I need it!’
A separate Amazon shopper weighed in: ‘I really enjoyed the flavour of the peach and raspberry; it was nice and refreshing, not overly gassy. It’s good to see a healthy energy drink that is low in calories, tastes good and has zero sugar. A guilt free pleasant drink.’
Virtue’s clean energy drinks are available in a selection of flavours, including tropical, strawberry and lime, as well as peach and raspberry. Shoppers can purchase a 12-pack bundle of one flavour or all flavours from £12 on sale at Amazon now.
