LifeAid is giving its FITAID Energy range a fruitier direction with two new flavours exclusive to Whole Foods Market. Dragon Fruit Fusion combines dragon fruit and blood orange, while Tropical Breeze blends guava and peach. Both arrive as part of the brand’s recent move to a zero-sugar formula, with less caffeine than its usual energy drinks.
The new cans contain 150mg of caffeine from green tea, down from the 200mg found in the rest of the range. They also retain electrolytes and leucine, with the same low-calorie base and slim can format as other FITAID Energy drinks.
Available only at Whole Foods Market for now, the two flavours offer a milder alternative for shoppers who want an energy drink with a fruit-led taste and less caffeine.
