That's why in this snack review, we're happy to introduce you to Nova's more nutritious energy drinks and why they've earned their spot in our better snack boxes have more than earned!
Nova, organic energy
Nova, founded in 2016 by Kevin and Rolf, has a very clear mission: to offer the best and most nutritious functional energy drink, made exclusively with organic ingredients. Rolf and Kevin didn't want to launch a merely tweaked version of existing energy drinks. So they started from scratch to create a truly more nutritious energy drink, a 100% organic drink that stimulates and calms body and mind thanks to the properties of its natural ingredients. No unpleasant coffee rush and definitely no annoying energy dips, no strain on your blood pressure, and none of the downsides of the synthetic ingredients and mountains of sugar found in traditional energy drinks on the market.
Nova drinks aim to give you lasting energy for your day while bringing your body, mind and nervous system into balance.
Nova's mission: bringing your stress down to a manageable level in a more nutritious, and above all tasty, way, boosting your focus and energy, all without the forced, excessive stimulation (and the jittery feeling that comes with it) we're used to from traditional energy drinks.

Ingredients
The ingredients in Nova's drinks are always 100% organic. They contain no artificial ingredients and no preservatives.
Every drink contains a well-thought-out mix of powerful natural ingredients that have a positive effect on your body and mind:
Green tea gives you the focus and clarity you need, without the jittery rush that coffee gives you. On top of that, green tea is rich in antioxidants.
A natural star ingredient that tackles your stress and fatigue and takes your energy and stamina to a higher level.
A real mood-booster, ginseng helps improve your mood and counter mood swings. It also gives your immune system and blood circulation a boost and increases your vitality.Â
The decaffeinated coffee beans stimulate your metabolism and help lower the amount of bad cholesterol
Feeling tired? Then Guarana is your partner-in-crime, tackling your mental and physical fatigue in a natural way. Guarana is your slow-release energy supplier, so you can keep going for longer.
Another powerful tool from nature. Ginkgo Biloba improves your memory and cognitive function, puts you in a great mood, and also has anti-inflammatory and antioxidant properties!
A mushroom with powerful properties! It boosts your energy levels and lowers your blood pressure, while also giving your immune system a lift and helping your body detox.
So each Nova drink is packed with powerful ingredients, each with their own nutritional perks. What they definitely don't contain is added sugars and synthetic additives like taurine.
Taste
Nova drinks taste deliciously refreshing. What's more, they don't leave you with that annoying sticky mouthfeel like most traditional energy drinks on the market. And you won't feel thirstier after a Nova drink either. They quench your thirst in a more nutritious, tasty and surprising way.Â
They always have a light, sweet taste, and with 3 different flavours, there's definitely a favourite waiting to be discovered for everyone!
Composition
To earn a spot in the JustBite range, taste is pretty much the top criterion, but a more nutritious, balanced composition matters a lot too.
Nova drinks are always 100% organic, fully vegan and gluten-free. They're also low in calories and, even more importantly, they have a low glycaemic index and contain no added sugars.
Which means they release energy slowly, without landing you with peaks and crashes. No big highs with jittery side effects, followed by low energy dips. They keep your blood sugar levels stable and that keeps you energised all day long, so you can focus at your best.Â
Conclusion
A Nova drink is more than just an energy drink. It's a steady source of energy with a few nutritional perks, all in an (eco-friendly) can! Thanks to slow-release caffeine and natural, slow-burning sugars, you won't have to worry about jittery nerves or unwelcome energy dips, so you can properly enjoy your more nutritious break.
