In a world of energy drinks and supplements there will always be a new kid on the block and right now that’s British owned IKÓ Drinks. IKÓ are using the key ingredient of Yerba Mate which gives you all of the ups and none of the crashes thanks to it’s miracle existence.
Yerba Mate is made from the leaves of llex paraguariensis plant which means it’s vegan and organic. It’s described as a combination of tea, coffee and chocolate and has many health benefits including:
- Filled with nutrients.
- Improves energy and focus.
- Enhances fat burn during workouts.
- Great for your immune system.
- Packed with antioxidants.
- Lowers blood sugar levels.
- Lowers risk of heart disease.
All of this certainly sounds a lot better than a traditional sugar packed beverage!
IKÓ
Ralph, the founder of IKÓ was shocked at the positive effects he had when drinking this magic tea and had the brain wave of packing it with familiar flavours and putting it in a can.
We received our crate of the IKÓ original flavour which was described to us as iced tea and that’s exactly what it is. Iced tea in colour, flavour and none carbonated. Having lime juice and agave syrup added you definitely get that flavour throughout with a slightly tart after taste. I personally loved it and look forward to my next can or 2!
Having drank the can I have to admit I felt a buzz, an almost slightly light head which shows it works. I felt more alert, with it and productive and after a few days of having a can mid morning instead of my coffee I feel better than normal. It has no caffeine side effects such as a bad stomach and I don’t crash like I would when having another popular energy drink.
What’s clear to see is that this is a new brand who are continuing to develop and innovate. Further flavours have been added to the Store including sparkling agave lime and sparkling passionfruit which we are really eager to try.
To put it simply if you like Iced tea and energy then this is the drink for you. Grab 20% off using code GF20 and start your MATE journey Here.
