Prebiotic sodas are gaining popularity among health-conscious consumers because they offer a delicious and refreshing way to support digestive health, maintain a balanced gut microbiome, reduce sugar intake and satisfy cravings for fizzy beverages without the guilt. Austin-based prebiotic soda manufacturer Mayawell is leaning into its Mexican heritage and debuting Mexican-inspired branding designed by Guadalajara-based design firm Heavy. With Mayan and Aztec influences, the freshly redesigned cans from the brand now share a look at the history and mythology of indigenous cultures. Each character aligns with Mayan and Aztec iconography, and the brand's refreshing beverages are represented by The Quetzal, The Jaguar, The Hare, The Feathered Serpent, and The Drinker.
As the first Mexican better-for-you soda on the market, Mayawell makes it easy to enjoy the benefits of functional ingredients and low-sugar formulas, plus unique flavors.
