Unlike many traditional drink mixes that contain artificial colors, artificial flavors, and 30–40 grams of sugar per serving, FAVE is made with organic ingredients. It contains just 6 grams of organic cane sugar and 25 calories while delivering the classic flavor consumers enjoy.

FAVE's first products include Lemonade, Fruit Punch, Strawberry Lemonade, and Tangy Orange. All of the drink mixes are USDA Organic, Non-GMO Project Verified, and made without artificial colors, flavors, or preservatives, giving consumers the classic flavors they love with cleaner ingredients.

The brand is already gaining attention in the industry. It won the Naturally Network San Diego Pitch Slam, was named a Progressive Grocer Editor's Pick, and received UNFI's "Up Next" designation and KeHE's "Golden Ticket" recognition.

"We're thrilled to lead FAVE's seed round and support Ryan, who has a clear vision for where this category is headed," said Chris Robb, General Partner at Supernatural Ventures. "For the past decade, innovation in the drink mix category has largely centered on function and performance. FAVE saw an opportunity that others overlooked—putting incredible flavor at the center of the conversation with ingredients today's consumers expect. That's a powerful combination."

"When I stood in the drink mix aisle, I realized there wasn't a single option I'd feel good about putting in my cart," said Ryan Raish, Founder and CEO of FAVE. "From day one, I knew there was an opportunity to reimagine the category. It took nearly two years and hundreds of formulations to create the nostalgic flavors people remember without compromising on ingredients.
