Sunshine Sparkling Energy Waters

Find Your Favorite Sunshine!

BY MARTIE EMORY

Yes, something delicious did actually arrive on the scene in 2020, and it continues to capture an enthusiastic audience and expand an already loyal following! From Winston-Salem-born Sunshine Beverages comes Sparkling Energy Waters, you’ll fall in love with for an important list of healthy—and flavorful—reasons. “All Sparkling Energy Waters are zero sugar, zero calories, zero sweeteners, and zero carbs,” explains Sunshine’s CEO, Lizzie Roediger. “They are simply crisp, classic seltzers packed with both flavor and functionality.” Inviting customers to rethink their energy drink options, the Sunshine team also shares the top three major factors that influenced product development of the new Sparkling Energy Waters: the growing consumer demand for zero sugar, increased demand for stacked functionality in food and beverage products, and the overall accelerating growth of the sparkling water category. Every 12-ounce can of Sunshine Sparkling Energy Waters contains 100% of your daily value of vitamins A, B3, B5, B6, B12, C, D, and E, along with key minerals calcium, magnesium, and potassium, and essential electrolytes for the much-needed hydration that is so easy to overlook when you’re juggling an extra busy day. Each can’s 70 mg of caffeine (from organic green coffee beans) is roughly equivalent to a regular cup of your favorite coffee—but a healthier option with nothing artificial—and offers you extra focus for workdays, with a fun dash of sparkling bubbles as a bonus! Flavors include Lotus Pear, Pomegranate Acai, and Citrus Lime, and the team tells us that Pomegranate Acai is the most popular flavor, with its irresistible blend of sweet and tart, while Lotus Pear (the office favorite!) runs a close second! Originally launched by an award-winning advertising agency based in Winston-Salem—The Variable—Sunshine Beverages has grown quickly across the Southeast and the Mid-Atlantic regions, and calls Trade Street home for their local offices. All Sunshine beverage products are clearly created to brighten every single day—knowing you’ve made a healthy choice of what to drink—and the company makes it a personal mission to help consumers feel their very best. It’s a mission statement they also carry throughout their entire business operation.

Lizzie also emphasizes the company’s down-to-earth goal of “spreading sunshine”—translating to always choosing the good in every situation and spreading positivity not only to their consumers, but also their business partners and the entire Sunshine Beverages team.

“Be it a small gesture or going the extra mile, we take a people-first approach in everything we do!” she says.

For lucky consumers of Sunshine products, it’s a chance to add a fun, flavorful choice to their daily goal of staying alert, hydrated, and healthy!
