Yerba Madre

"I prefer Yerba from a gourd or like mate cocido/cha mate although I could be convinced to drink the RTD cans occasionally if I saw the bare minimum of brewed yerba mate being the first ingredient instead of after sugar and extracts. To me the cans just taste like artificial flavor & sugar as they sit by bottled actual brewed tea in stores even if those are not the best quality anyway."

"I don't hate sugar I just prefer to get my sugar/carbs from real food. If youre working out a lot some cane sugar isnt the worst thing but brotha it quickly adds up and most people will honestly benefit from cutting out processed sugar."

"As a self proclaimed caffeine maxer, here's my realistic ranking based on caffeine dosage AND ingredients. 1 Sambazon Organic Energy 9.7/10 2 Guayakí Yerba Mate 9.5/10 3 Yerba Madre 9.0/10 4 Guru Energy 8.5/10 5 Celsius 7.5/10 6 Alani Nu 7.0/10 7 Ghost 6.5/10 8 RYSE Fuel 6.0/10 9 C4 5.5/10 10 Monster Zero Sugar 5.0/10 11 Rockstar Zero Sugar 4.5/10 My rankings are based on ingredient quality, caffeine source, and how I'd feel drinking it regularly, not just which one hits the hardest. I gave higher scores to drinks that use natural caffeine sources (yerba mate, green tea, coffee), organic ingredients, shorter ingredient lists, and fewer artificial additives. Drinks like Sambazon, Guayakí, Yerba Madre, and Guru provide caffeine with antioxidants and tend to have a smoother energy curve. I ranked drinks like Ghost, Celsius, Alani, C4, Monster, and Rockstar lower because they're more processed, rely heavily on artificial sweeteners/flavors, and are designed primarily for stimulation and performance rather than overall ingredient quality. If the ranking was based purely on energy, focus, or gym performance, the order would be very different. Ingredients aside, best tasting is Ghost. 😃"

"Another big reason for the big Yerba market in Spain is the presence of South American immigrants as well."

"You're going to mundial de la yerba mate?"

"​@micahdanielson123If you exercise intensely it's not that much actually, it depends on the duration and intensity of course."

"I had drank that yerba madre which it used to just be called yerba mate, they do have a carbonated one, but I do drink a lot of matcha. I had found myself drinking matcha before working out and I have lazer focus lol"

"to be honest, the only energy drink I consume is monster, but it’s because I think it tastes good. and when I do drink it i make sure that I drink it at the right time so it won’t mess with my sleep. other than that i get amazing sleep and eat real food and get real energy that’s why i don’t crash."

"Celsius is the goat of the mainstream energy drinks though the others besides Yerba Madre aren’t common to find"

"@10willybilly yeah for you maybe but i also love drinking the zero sugar ones plus flavor for my diet plus energy and plus gym performance maximus prime level tier"

"cope. Just use supps and powder if you care about flavor THAT much. Breathe air=Drink water."

"Yerba madre low cal are all I drink for caffeine, peach and mango go crazy"

"Yerba Mate (Ilex paraguariensis, ) orgullosamente Paraguayo!"

"Soy argentino, es ilex paraguayensis, no paraguriensis, es regional como algunas comidas típicas también."

"What about the Yerba mate organic peach revival tea?"
