Drink Hippie has announced the new Hippie Energy drinks as part of its foray beyond cannabis-infused refreshments into the category of alternative energy to help capture the attention of health and nutrition-minded consumers.
The drinks are formulated with 75mg of caffeine for a modest boost that's lower than what can be found in other energy drinks on the market and also feature a blend of functional mushrooms. This includes lion's mane, cordyceps and turkey tail, while the drink is further enhanced with magnesium, potassium and L-theanine to provide additional functional health benefits. The drinks are then rounded out with prebiotic fiber to help support gut health.
Hippie Energy drinks are available now for preorder and come in Peach Party, Watermelon Getaway and Citrus Groove flavors.
