5 Drinks That Help You Feel Better and Work Smarter

Ever find yourself reaching for that third cup of coffee, hoping it'll finally kick in? Turns out, what you drink throughout the day can significantly impact your energy, focus, and overall well-being. 

Before you grab another coffee, consider this:In fact, water consistently ranks as the top-selling and most profitable beverage in U.S. vending machines—not just because we crave hydration but because our bodies demand it. At BetterHealth Vending, we believe that a well-stocked vending machine should offer more than just sugary sodas and energy crashes. That’s why we provide a variety of beverages designed to fuel your productivity, boost your health, and keep you performing at your best—all at the push of a button.

Let’s dive into five beverages (other than water) that can help you feel better and work smarter.

1. Celsius Energy Drink: A Smart Energy Boost

When you need energy but don’t want the jitters or sugar crash, Celsius is your go-to. Celsius is made with:

• Green tea extract, guarana seed extract, and ginger root for clean, sustained energy

• A formula that supports metabolism and helps burn calories throughout the day

• Essential vitamins like B and C to support immune health and energy production

Celsius is ideal before a workout or during that mid-afternoon slump when you need a pick-me-up. Read more about Celsius and the benefits from The Balanced Nutritionist.

2. Vitamin Water: Hydration with a Nutrient Kick

Drinking water is essential, but sometimes you want a little more flavor and function. Vitamin Water combines hydration with essential nutrients to keep your mind and body at peak performance.

• Combines the refreshment of water with added vitamins and minerals

• Targeted formulas like “Energy” with B vitamins or “Focus” with choline

• Available in low-calorie and zero-sugar options

Vitamin Water is perfect during meetings or study sessions to keep both your mind and body hydrated and sharp.

3. Green Tea: Nature’s Focus Enhancer

If you’re looking for sustained energy without the crash, green tea is a game-changer. With natural caffeine and calming L-theanine, green tea helps you stay alert and focused while promoting relaxation.

• Rich in antioxidants, especially catechins that help fight oxidative stress

• L-theanine enhances brain function and reduces anxiety

• Easier on digestion than stronger energy drinks

Green tea is suggested in the morning or early afternoon to enhance focus and calmness simultaneously. BetterHealth Vending offers a variety of green tea brands, including unsweetened and lightly sweetened options. See our product lineup.

4. Electrolyte-Infused Water: Optimal Hydration

When you’re dehydrated, your brain and body slow down. Electrolyte-infused water helps replenish essential minerals lost throughout the day.

• Replaces sodium, potassium, and magnesium to support hydration and muscle function

• Linked to improved cognitive function and alertness

• Available in sugar-free and low-calorie varieties

Options such as Hoist excel after physical activity or during long work hours to prevent dehydration and maintain productivity.

5. Protein Smoothies: Nutrition on the Go

When you’re busy, skipping meals can leave you feeling drained. Protein smoothies are an excellent solution for quick, nutritious fuel that keeps you full and energized.

• Balanced nutrients with protein, healthy fats, and carbohydrates

• Supports muscle recovery and sustained energy

• Convenient and easy to grab on the go

Protein shakes like Light & Fit are perfect as a quick breakfast, mid-day pick-me-up, or post-workout replenishment to keep you fueled and focused.
