Sun Valley sits in the San Fernando Valley, where mornings start early and the sun does most of its work by noon. Plenty of people here head out before the traffic builds, bound for job sites, warehouses and long drives toward Los Angeles. A cold can in the cooler bag is part of the routine.

Lotus fits the way the day moves here. Pick up cans at a local grocery store on the same trip as the weekly shop, or order online if you would rather have them at the door. Either way, there is a cold drink ready when the afternoon heat settles in.

Lotus is a plant-based energy drink made with natural caffeine and PP7, a plant-based blend made with organic ingredients. It comes two ways: ready-to-drink cans you can grab cold, and concentrates that coffee shops mix into energy refreshers, energy teas, lemonades and creamy Lotus Cream drinks.
