Mill Creek sits in the hills of south Snohomish County, a planned community of quiet streets, tall evergreens and a lot of morning routines. Mornings start early here. Commuters head for Everett or work their way down toward Bellevue and Seattle, and a drink in the cup holder is part of the plan.

Lotus fits that pattern well. The coffee shops around town mix it into iced energy refreshers, teas and lemonades, so you can order something cold even when the Pacific Northwest sky is gray. It works for the school run, the errand loop and the long afternoon stretch.

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.
