How has your summer been so far? Ours has been very hot and humid, and in between strength training sessions, family outings, shopping trips, and afternoon yoga classes on the terrace, I have had difficulty staying hydrated. This seems to be the story of my life: I tend to overlook hydration when I am out and about during the summer months, and this leads to decreased strength and focus, and overall lack of stamina.
Thankfully, Naked Nutrition have just launched their line of Naked Sparkling Energy® drinks, which has already made a big impact on my hydration and overall well-being. Similar to my previous collaborations with Naked Nutrition (covered here, here, here, here and here), I have thoroughly enjoyed the opportunity to be one of the first bloggers to try out a high quality product, relevant to me and my personal fitness journey.
Naked Sparkling Energy comes in 3 varieties (Lemonade, Orange, Strawberry Lemonade). Each can has 200mg of natural caffeine, sourced from organic unroasted coffee beans that provide clean, sustained energy without the crash.
The Naked Sparkling Energy info sheet is impressive:
- Only 6 premium ingredients
- Organic lemon juice + plant-based natural flavors
- Sweetened with monk fruit & fermented sugar cane (Reb-M)
- Vegan, gluten-free, non-GMO
- 15 calories | 0g sugar | 3g carbs per can
Unlike traditional energy drinks, Naked Sparkling Energy is made with natural, clean ingredients, and without sugar, corn syrup, aspartame, or artificial colors. Remarkably, monk fruit and fermented cane sugar (Reb-M) provide sweetness without calories, blood sugar spikes, gas, bloating, or discomfort.
According to Naked Nutrition, the organic lemon juice in Naked Sparkling Energy works in harmony with the natural caffeine from organic unroasted coffee beans, delivering antioxidants that help counteract caffeine’s natural oxidative effects, while supporting optimal absorption through pH balance in the stomach. The result? “A clean, sustained lift that feels as good as it performs. Whether you’re training hard or powering through your day, Naked Sparkling Energy supports performance with organic caffeine and organic lemon juice to enhance focus, stamina, and endurance.”
Naked Sparkling Energy is ideal for early mornings, gym sessions, or long workdays, and Naked Nutrition recommend enjoying it when you need a pre-workout boost, a mid-afternoon pick-me-up, or help staying sharp and focused. They suggest drinking it chilled, straight from the can. I followed this recommendation and had it poured over ice, with added strawberries and a few mint leaves.
I became an instant fan of the delicate, mild, clean sweetness of Naked Sparkling Energy. The refreshing and restorative lemon flavor delivered the taste I was craving in the hot weather, while the invigorating carbonation provided an alluring experience for the taste buds. I am a big fan of carbonated beverages, and this healthy bubbly lemonade is now my new favorite, go-to drink!
Naked Sparkling Energy is not recommended for children, those who are pregnant or breastfeeding, or anyone sensitive to caffeine. As stated on the Naked Nutrition website, “For most healthy adults, one can per day fits within the recommended caffeine intake. If unsure, consult with your physician before use, and do not exceed two servings per day.”
I loved trying out Naked Sparkling Energy drinks, and I appreciated their remarkable hydration-related benefits and overall well-being-oriented approach. I also loved the sleek design of the cans, which ensured wholesome convenience and portability, a must during the summer months, in my opinion. While hot weather may come and go, good hydration should be observed all year-round, and Naked Sparkling Energy is an excellent option in this respect, helping me to accomplish my daily tasks in a delicious, refreshing, holistic fashion.
