When Jennifer Ross was diagnosed with Type 1 diabetes at the age of 6, the search for a zero-sugar beverage that tasted good officially began. In 2015, Ross decided to take things into her own hands with the help of her best friend and Cuban-American mother of three, Cristina Ros Blankfein. Swoon was born when the two reimagined classic drinks like lemonade and iced tea with plant based ingredients, no artificial additives, and of course, zero sugar.
The clean ingredients, however, aren't the only reason Ross and Blankfein's drinks are so swoon-worthy. For every case of Swoon Lemonade ($30 for a 12-pack), the company also donates one can to the Boys and Girls Club of Madison Square to support healthy eating in their clubhouses and food pantries.
