Organicgirl prides itself on producing all-organic "good clean greens" and is now venturing into a new category with beverages. The brand recently unveiled the newest additions to its assortment, including the Clear Greens Tea and Clear Greens Water. The latter has been recognized as a NEXTY finalist for New Organic Beverage at Natural Products Expo West, as the innovative beverage features a pound of the brand's premium organic greens in an easy-to-drink format.
While the Clear Greens Tea is offered in varieties like Black Raspberry and Chamomile, the Clear Greens Water is also available in flavorful options like Watermelon and Cucumber Mint.
As well as repurposing a beneficial ingredient that might otherwise go to waste, Organicgirl notes that "romaine has just as many electrolytes as coconut water," making it a functional addition to its hydrating beverage range.
