BANG FOR THE BITE | | 
We all know saving the world takes stamina, so go for drinks that boost energy, fight disease, and taste good to boot. |

...superfood. Spandex onesie or not, drinking superhealthy superfoods such as açai and kombucha will get you a little closer to your goal of moving skyscrapers with a flick of your pinky. The Benefits
- Lots of antioxidants, which hunt down cell-aging free radicals. And some superfood antioxidants go even further (for example, a recent study found that açai's antioxidants destroyed cultured human leukemia cells).
- New tastes. Whether they're sweet, tangy, or bitter, these drinks are a welcome departure from everyday OJ.
- Supporting eco-brands committed to sustainable sourcing (for example, fair-trade ingredients that ensure workers get paid a living wage).
Personally Speaking
Heather drinks plenty of Nutiva HempShakes and Kombucha, but - surprise, surprise - her favorite way to get antioxidants is drinking red wine. Wanna Try? - Nutiva Berry Pomegranate HempShake - organic, fair-trade shake mix with nutritious pomegranates, hemp, and goji berries ($20/16 ounces).
- Amazing Grass Drink Powder - energy-boosting drink mix that contains healthy grasses such as barley and wheatgrass ($25/10 ounces).
- GT's Organic Raw Kombucha - for some, it's an acquired taste, but one study found that kombucha wards against E. coli and other microbes. First timers: start slowly, since some people have allergic reactions ($3).
- Zola Açai Power Juice - sweet, delicious drink from a brand that promotes sustainable harvesting of the açai fruit in the Amazon ($3).
- Best Food Sources of Antioxidants - a list from the USDA of common, antioxidant-rich fruits, nuts, and veggies you can find at your local grocery store.
