Top 5 natural energy drinks

Tired of being tired?

Instead of reaching for that third cup of coffee, why not try a different type of energy to perk up?

Whether you need a pick-me-up in the morning or a little lift to get you out of that afternoon slump, these drinks have less sugar than classic Red Bull or Monster and many are certified organic or even GMO-free.

EBOOST energy shots are a quick, convenient and — most importantly — healthy alternative to caffeine-filled supplements. Plus, with the hydrating qualities of coconut water added to the mix, it's no wonder that celebs like Shakira and Oprah Winfrey swear by it, too.
