FAQ’s

Drinke contains very low levels of naturally occurring fruit sugar from the coconut water and freeze-dried fruit powders.

The average grams of sugar in one Drinke serving (1 sachet once made up into 750mL water) is 1.47 grams.

Tropical = 1.7g

Wild Berry = 1.4g

Citrus = 1.3g

Stone Fruit = 1.5g

To give you some reference, the average sugar content of well-known soda beverages is between 25g - 40.9g per 375mL (or 6.5 tsp - 10 tsp per can).

So in a serving size of 750mL like ours, thats around 50g - 80g or 13 to 20 teaspoons of sugar depending on the soda!

No.

Each sachet contains around 50% Coconut Water Powder which is naturally high in the mineral Potassium. We’ve also added the extra minerals calcium, magnesium, and sodium in a small quantity, roughly equal to what is found in natural spring waters. We wanted to create a product that could be drunk all throughout the day regardless of your level of physical activity as well as being safe for children to drink.

We differ from electrolyte drinks as they contain higher concentrations of essential minerals along with sugars, formulated to replenish the body's electrolyte losses incurred during vigorous physical activities like intense workouts, prolonged cycling, or running.

See “Our mineral content in grams” below to find out our mineral quantities.

No. We use beta-carotene and elderberry extract which are completely natural colourings.

Drinke is compatible with any diet that requires low sugar, no gluten, no dairy, and no artificial preservatives, colours or flavours.

Common diets that Drinke is compatible with: Gluten Free, Vegan, & Keto.

Drinke has a small amount of minerals added.

With regards to vitamins there are none added to our product, however it is likely that our real freeze-dried fruit powder contains trace amounts of vitamins. Freeze-drying is a process that removes water from the fruit, concentrating its components, including vitamins and minerals. While some loss of nutrients, particularly water-soluble vitamins like vitamin C, can occur during the freeze-drying process, significant amounts of vitamins and minerals typically remain.

Drinke contains very low levels of naturally occurring fruit sugar from the coconut water and freeze-dried fruit powders (amounts shown in the question above). As an added sweetener we use a small amount of natural, zero-sugar, Monk Fruit extract. For more details see “What is the benefit of monk fruit and why do we use it” below.

Monk Fruit is a zero calorie sweetener that is quickly becoming the hero of the low sugar world. It is felt to have less of an aftertaste than stevia and none of the side effects of alcohol sugars if consumed in large quantities.

Here at Drinke we wanted to create a tasty but low sugar beverage that won't spike your blood sugar levels, especially as it's designed to be able to drink throughout the day.

While there is no limit on the amount of sachets you can use in a day, we recommend that you do not exceed your daily intake of water as calculated by your body weight and or your individual requirements.

Yes Drinke is safe to consume while pregnant or breastfeeding.

Tropical, Wild Berry, Citrus and Stone Fruit flavours but we plan to expand the flavour range as we grow.
