How many times have you walked down an aisle of brightly colored juices, energy drinks, sodas, and flavored waters, feeling lost and uninformed about the sea of choices before you? If you’re searching for a healthy, refreshing drink without harmful chemicals or bloat-inducing carbonation, then you should consider Frava. Frava is a naturally caffeinated juice available in four delicious flavors: pineapple orange, pomegranate acai, cranberry orange, and peach mango.

How Frava Came to Fruition

Frava was created by three seniors at Colgate University, during the sweltering exam period of their final semester of college. The three friends were tired, stressed, and sick of relying on red bull and coffee for the energy and focus they needed to study. They came up with the idea for Frava while drinking their morning orange juice and java, wishing they could combine the two into a refreshing and energizing fruit drink. That’s how Frava got its name, fruit plus java.

Frava is forty percent juice and contains natural caffeine from green coffee beans. This makes it a great alternative to energy drinks such as Red Bull or Five-Hour Energy with their high sugar contents and artificial stimulants, which eventually result in an energy crash. These young entrepreneurs are passionate about Frava and since 2010 they have established it as a unique and worthwhile buy for health conscious and environmentally friendly consumers.

What Makes Frava Green

When Frava is bottled, it is put through a hot fill process, which kills bacteria and allows it to be made without preservatives. Most energy drinks use a potent mix of chemicals like synthetic caffeine, taurine, and guarana, which are generated in a laboratory and are unhealthy for you and for the environment. It includes zero artificial colors, flavors, or preservatives, and reading its list of ingredients is almost as refreshing as taking your first sip.

Frava in Action

As a college student myself, I have loved my experience with Frava and look forward to its arrival on my campus. Frava sent us a sample of their four mouthwatering flavors, and I enjoyed them while studying, in the morning with my breakfast, as a pick me up during an afternoon class, and after a trip to the gym. I felt the energy boost, loved the refreshing taste, and wished I had more once I finished my last delicious sip of pomegranate acai. Frava is currently sold in New York and Long Island, and is scheduled soon to arrive in Boston. You can order Frava online and in supermarkets, restaurants, and convenience stores throughout New York City and Long Island.
