Can you introduce yourself?
My name is MaximI 30 years old and I work as a dietitian for 7 years. I work primarily with patients suffering from serious illnesses, such as cancer or thekidney failure.
I had never tasted those drinks before HOLY. I'm taking advantage of this interview with Alucare to find out about the Pack Découverte HOLY and analyze its composition from a healthcare professional's perspective.
A helpful note: a dietitian is a nutrition expert with recognized academic training and a title protected by law in France. The term nutritionist, on the other hand, is not protected. That’s an important distinction to keep in mind.
What do you think of the taste of HOLY drinks?
I find the a very clever variety of flavors. It makes it possible to reach a large number of consumers with a wide variety of taste preferences.
The Iced Tea Line is still my favorite. When it comes to hydration, the’Pear Hydration It blew me away, even though other flavors didn't quite win me over. It all comes down to personal taste.
The real point to note is the’aftertaste of sweetener an aftertaste that might put some people off. But that's true of almost all sweeteners, no matter what the drink is. Overall, with so many flavors available, you should easily find one you like.
What can you tell us about HOLY?
The Ingredients in Beverages HOLY combines real strengths with a few shortcomings. They constitute a a credible alternative to traditional energy drinks, thanks to the brand's decision to focus on natural ingredients rather than on traditional soda and energy drink recipes.
I found three components to be particularly noteworthy:

Overall, these ingredients have a an impact that is far more positive than negative on your health. But my opinion deserves to be qualified, because HOLY also uses additives:
- of the sweeteners (such as the sucralose),
- of the natural dyes,
- and thickening agents.
These additives can may be problematic depending on the dosage and depending on any predispositions or medical conditions you may have.
What can you tell us about these different additives?
These additives are generally permitted, but their Long-term consumption can be a problem for some people, particularly those with food intolerances. The taste of sweeteners and their effects on the body vary from person to person.
the sucralose, for example, is a widely used artificial sweetener. Its impact on the gut microbiota is still a subject of debate in the scientific literature. The phosphatesas the tricalcium phosphate, are the ones to watch closely. They can affect bone and cardiovascular health in case of overuse. It all comes down to moderation. Also worth noting is the absence of taurine in the formulas HOLY, unlike many traditional energy drinks.
What is the nutritional impact of HOLY drinks?
The Nutritional Value of Beverages HOLY varies depending on the flavor and serving size. Here are the key points I took away from my analysis:
- The use of natural sweeteners significantly reduces sugar intake, which is beneficial for the oral health and the blood sugar control. Result: the drinks HOLY are very low in calories.
- The presence of vitamins and minerals supports the body’s proper functioning. However, I consider them to be a bonus : You won't meet the recommended daily intake just by drinking these beverages.
- The phosphates may have a long-term nutritional impact, depending on the amounts consumed. According to data from HOLY, their The concentrations per 500 ml remain well below the limits daily.
HOLY It therefore offers a good alternative to traditional sodas and energy drinks. These products can be part of a balanced diet.
Comparison: HOLY Iced Tea VS Lipton Ice Tea

The main difference lies in the sugar. the HOLY Iced Tea It relies on natural sweeteners to remain virtually sugar-free, whereas traditional iced tea is still a very sweet drink. This is also an advantage for the’hydration In everyday life: less sugar means the body uses less water to metabolize the beverage.
| Criteria | HOLY Iced Tea | Lipton Iced Tea |
|---|---|---|
| Sugar content | Very low (natural sweeteners) | High (added sugar) |
| Calorie intake | Weak | Most important |
| Additives | Reduced | Presence of additives and colorants |
Comparison: HOLY Energy VS Monster

In the energy drink market, the HOLY Energy stands out for its virtually no sugar content and the absence of taurine. There caffeine is derived from a green tea extract, combined with the L-theanine, which limits the crash after consumption. A crash refers to the drop in’energy that follows the consumption of a sugary or high-caffeine beverage.
| Criteria | HOLY Energy | Monster |
|---|---|---|
| Sugar | Sugar-free (natural sweeteners) | High (classic version) |
| Caffeine | Green Tea Extract + L-Theanine | Caffeine + taurine |
| Perceived effect | More stable power, fewer crashes | A sudden surge followed by a crash |
| Calories | Very low | Higher |
Comparison: HOLY Hydration VS Powerade

For thehydration, the HOLY Hydration brings minerals and vitamins with a very low sugar content. the Powerade, on the other hand, contains more added sugars for comparable hydration. If you're looking to stay well-hydrated without adding too many calories, that's a real advantage.
| Criteria | HOLY Hydration | Powerade |
|---|---|---|
| Sugar | Very low (sweeteners) | Added sugars |
| Electrolytes / Minerals | Present | Present |
| Vitamins | Added B vitamins | Limited contribution |
| Calories | Weak | Higher |
What are your recommendations for HOLY?
My recommendations take into account the caffeine content from each line. Here are my simple tips to keep in mind every day:
- Product Line Energy : maximum 500 ml per day because of the caffeine. Avoid drinking it in the evening so as not to disrupt your sleep.
- Product Lines Hydration and Iced Tea : until two servings a day, since these drinks are lower in caffeine and designed for the’hydration.
- Always drink them in addition to water, never in its proper place. The’water is still irreplaceable when it comes to meeting your basic hydration needs.
Certain groups need to be especially careful. The people who are sensitive to caffeine and the game's pregnant women would be well advised to avoid the line Energy, or to seek the advice of a healthcare professional. Despite containing natural sweeteners and B vitamins, these beverages are still foods to eat in moderation, especially in the long run.
What can we conclude?
Compared to traditional sodas and energy drinks, these beverages HOLY are clearly a step ahead. Their product lines Energy, Iced Tea, Hydration and Milkshake are more nutritious, particularly because of the’no sugar and an controlled caffeine content.
One caveat, however: the presence of’sweeteners as the sucralose. Nothing to worry about, but I remain cautious about long-term consumption, especially for sensitive individuals.
As long as you consume HOLY with moderation, you can drink it regularly. Personally, I stick with the line Hydration as part of my daily routine to supplement my hydration with’water.
