Health-conscious consumers who are looking to avoid sugary sodas are instead turning to sparkling beverages that are flavorful and packed with just as much texture—Pep Talk sets itself apart as a naturally flavored, naturally caffeinated sparkling water.
Pep Talk's energizing beverages are offered in fun flavors like Pineapple Coconut, Tangerine Blackberry, Lemon Lime and Pink Grapefruit, each of which contains 55 milligrams of caffeine, which is more or less the same amount that can be found in a small cup of coffee or a diet soda drink. Beyond promising to boost one's focus, Pep Talk also boasts "several important health benefits that come with the body being properly hydrated, including clearer skin, enhanced mental function and a healthier immune system."
