The first organic focused-energy drink | @buddydrink.eu

About us

We are 3 Belgian brothers who were desperately searching for a healthy and effective alternative to energy drinks. That's when we decided to create buddy, an organic superfood-based beverage. With its unique combination of guarana, ginkgo biloba, and ginseng, buddy enhances focus and memory while providing a sustained energy boost with its 80mg of natural caffeine (equivalent to an espresso shot). 100% natural, organic, low in sugar and calories, buddy is the result of our passion and commitment to a healthier lifestyle. We are proud to share our product with you and hope that buddy will bring you as much joy as it does to us!

    Energy Drink Battle 🥊: Buddy Mango Passion vs. Nalu Exotic "A little tired? Drink Nalu!" We all know this famous quote. But is Nalu the best option available to boost your energy and productivity? Let's find out. 𝐈𝐧𝐠𝐫𝐞𝐝𝐢𝐞𝐧𝐭𝐬 𝑵𝒂𝒍𝒖: Sparkling water; sugar; fruit juice from concentrate 4% (orange 2.5%, peach 1.3%, pineapple 0.1%, mango 0.1%); citric acid; caffeine; preservative: potassium sorbate; sweeteners: acesulfame-K, sucralose; antioxidant: ascorbic acid; vitamins B3, E, B12; natural flavours; stabiliser: guar gum; colour: carotenoids. 𝑩𝒖𝒅𝒅𝒚: Sparkling water, white grape juice, cane sugar, citric acid, guarana seed extract*, natural mango flavour, natural passion fruit flavour, ginkgo extract. 𝐍𝐮𝐭𝐫𝐢𝐭𝐢𝐨𝐧𝐚𝐥 𝐕𝐚𝐥𝐮𝐞𝐬 𝐩𝐞𝐫 100 𝐦𝐥: Energy > 𝑵𝒂𝒍𝒖: 20 kcal vs 𝑩𝒖𝒅𝒅𝒚: 12,8 kcal Sugars > 𝑵𝒂𝒍𝒖: 4,5g vs 𝑩𝒖𝒅𝒅𝒚: 2,1g 𝐄𝐧𝐞𝐫𝐠𝐲 𝐬𝐨𝐮𝐫𝐜𝐞 𝑵𝒂𝒍𝒖 uses plain caffeine: which is a well-known stimulant that quickly boosts alertness and energy. However, it can also lead to jitters, crashes, and dependency. 𝑩𝒖𝒅𝒅𝒚 uses Ginkgo Biloba: a herbal extract is renowned for its cognitive benefits, such as improved focus and memory. It offers a gentler, more sustained effect without the side effects associated with caffeine. 𝐕𝐞𝐫𝐝𝐢𝐜𝐭 𝑵𝒂𝒍𝒖 offers a quick energy boost, with higher sugar content and uses plain caffeine. 𝑩𝒖𝒅𝒅𝒚's, on the other hand, provides a healthier alternative with lower sugar, fewer calories, and added cognitive benefits from ginkgo biloba, making it a more balanced choice for sustained energy and mental clarity. Enjoy 😋 buddy #comparison #energydrink #break

    From a sodastream in our parents' kitchen in 2021 to buddy hitting the shelves of 500+ locations at Albert Heijn in the Netherlands – what a journey it's been! 🚀 The road wasn't always smooth 😅. The first production had its hiccups, the can color didn't match the plan, and then came the curveball of Covid – stores empty, convincing people to try something new was a challenge, and sales struggled. But those who tried it loved the concept; yet, we knew we needed to enhance the taste and packaging. In 2022, keep faith! Working hard on new flavors, improving the taste, and introducing vibrant, eye-catching packaging. Sales started picking up, and we hit the road, personally delivering hundreds of clients out of the car to build direct connections with clients. 🚗💨 2023 was a game-changer! Awards paved the way for listings and POS in 2024. Winning the Shell Supplier Pitch Day Award secured a spot in all Shell locations in the Benelux. The Anuga Best Innovation Awards not only got us listed in AH but also fulfilled our dream of being available in the biggest retailer in our home country – coming soon! 🏆🌟 Thanks to our buddies from JetDrinks BV for making this possible Jelle Dmitri Ivan Nathalie Merijn 🙏👏 Arthur Jehan Elyse #newlisting #ah #FMCG
