Healthy Energy Drinks shouldn’t cause Belly Fat

A well published nutritionist blogged recently on 11 beverages that cause belly fat (you know Gatorade, Monster, Amp, soft drinks and some juices).  After looking at these drinks, they all contain high amounts of refined sugars so they really aren’t healthy energy drinks. Be on the lookout for high fructose corn syrup or fructose, the kinds of sugar that are easily converted to belly fat. Also, many of these healthy energy drinks contain more than one serving so beware.

As a consumer, look for healthy energy drinks with smart ingredients. Don’t assume healthy drinks are not tasty. Go for healthy drinks high in antioxidants with superfruits (açai, goji, blueberry, cranberries etc), and healthy tea (green and oolong). Most will have a fruity and/or grape-like taste. Try to reach for the darker berry fruits to get a higher antioxidant punch. For one of the best healthy energy drinks, try Xe Energy Drink. It contains theobromine (cocoa), quercetin, ginseng and more to boost your workout naturally without a caffeine spike or jitters.

When you’re looking for healthy energy drinks, make sure they’re really healthy.
