Zevia Zero Sugar Energy Drink
At a glance
Summary
Zevia Zero Sugar Energy Drink is a clean, minimalist energy drink with only 5 ingredients — carbonated water, citric acid, natural flavors, stevia leaf extract, and caffeine. Zero harmful substances and naturally sweetened with stevia, but the extremely bare ingredient profile offers no functional value beyond caffeine. The unspecified caffeine source (likely synthetic) and lack of electrolytes, antioxidants, or adaptogens keep it below premium clean energy drinks.

120mg per can is a moderate dose. However, no source is specified — no organic, green coffee, or plant-derived claim — suggesting synthetic caffeine anhydrous rather than plant-derived.
