'Pure Heart' Organic Yerba Mate

Review by Jennifer Levitan

Yerba Mate

This summer when you feel hot and thirsty, be sure to multi task for your health when quenching your thirst! The New "Pure Heart" Organic Yerba Mate Drink From Guayaki is a refreshing beverage filled with heart healthy all natural herbs. The drink includes Yerba Mate, as well as hawthorn and yarrow. These herbs are all known to improve cardiac performance and have anti oxidant properties. These herbs are combined with organic rose hips, hibiscus, organic raspberry juice and cranberry juice to create the delicious "pure heart" flavor.

The Pure Heart flavor has a nice subtle sweetness. The natural herbs give it a fresh clean, tea like taste, with just a hint of fruitiness from the raspberry and cranberry juice. There are two servings in each 16 ounce bottle. But, there are only 50 calories a serving, making this drink a lower calorie alternative to 100% juice. My thirst was quenched and the benefits of the natural herbs made this an excellent choice!

A nourishing 'whole herb' that offers adaptogenic properties, yerba mate contains 24 vitamins and minerals, 15 amino acids, 11 polyphenols and saponins (phytochemicals that bolster the immune system). Unlike other functional and energy drink concoctions on the market today that feature synthetic and isolate ingredients, Guayaki follows a "whole plant - whole health" herbal tradition that unleashes the natural form of these nutrients in a way that the body can easily absorb and process them. Guayaki Pure Heart is mildly sweetened with organic cane juice, and has far less calories (50) per serving than most other drinks in the marketplace. Offered in a 16-ounce premium bottles for a SRP of $2.19, Guayakí Pure Heart can be purchased at thousands of natural foods stores, supermarkets, cafes and gyms throughout North America and at www.guayaki.com.
