XS Energy is the biggest breakthrough in the energy drink market today, the first to make an energy drink in a specific flavor and the first to use the "sugar free" label. It was never intended nor marketed to be a diet drink. The first energy tea was also introduced by XS Energy and now there are two in their line up. Both are non carbonated and contain green tea.
Their focal point is to bring flavors that consumers love without the carbs and sugar. they are available in a variety of flavors, including three that are caffeine-free.
The drinks contain between zero and two grams of carbohydrates, and hold between eight and sixteen calories. They are sweetened with Acesulfame potassium (Ace K) and less than one half gram of sucralose instead of sugar. They also contain a variety of adaptogenic herbs, and are high in B Vitamins. The drinks are packaged in 8.4 ounce (250mL) size cans because that size fits in briefcases and purses, minimizes waste, and can be more comfortably held.
