Currently Craving: Alsa Energy Drink

The unofficial end of summer is just weeks away, causing many of us to pack in as many last-minute plans as possible. Late nights and busy schedules often cause an extreme lack of energy and that morning cup of coffee sometimes doesn’t cut it. Enter Alsa Energy Drink – a healthy vegan, gluten-free supplement that offers a refreshing natural boost of energy without the crash.

Alsa was created by Thad Hyland and Kasia Mays, formerly of the Ojai Valley Inn & Spa, with active adults in mind. Using a blend of vitamins and ingredients that boost energy and focus, Alsa comes in single-dose powder packets making it perfect to take on-the-go. You can chose from three 30-calorie flavors: Dragon Fruit, Pomegranate Blueberry, and Three Citrus, all naturally-sweetened with fructose and Stevia extract. The powder dissolves completely in water and doesn’t have the aftertaste that many other powders leave. Alsa contains:

• Using Cognizin®, a patented, branded form of citicoline, a natural substance found in every cell in the body that is important for brain health, that provides mental energy and focus.
• 100 mg of caffeine from white tea extract, yerba mate extract, and PurEnergy™. PurEnergy is a combination of caffeine and pTeroPure® pterostilbene, a nature-identical form of trans-pterostilbene.
• Vitamins C, B6, and B12, as well as the amino acids L-Carnitine and Taurine, and Ginkgo Biloba.

Retailing at $48.50 for a 24-stick pack, Älsa is available online.
