Chances are you’ve spotted the endless rainbow-hued assortment of new beverage brands at your local gas station, bodega or vending machine. From old-fashioned sodas to non-ABV aperitifs, there’s no shortage of options these days. One trend we’re always on board with though, is self-care—this time in liquid form. Think: functional drinks and juices packed with pre- and probiotics, apple cider vinegar, superfoods and vitamins. We’re partial to the Simple Truth brand, which is free from artificial colors, flavors and ingredients. Plus it’s affordable and available online and from the Kroger family of stores. So cheers to your good health with this impressive lineup of five better-for-you bevvies, all from Simple Truth.
