Demand drives retail expansion of Angry Angel, a clean ingredient energy and focus beverage.

AUSTIN, TX [October 21, 2026] — Angry Angel Energy + Focus beverage is expanding distribution across the 500-plus-store footprint of Whole Foods Market by November. This nationwide launch coincides with the growth of the U.S. natural energy drink category, which is expected to explode from $2BN to $4.46BN by 2034, an 8.9% CAGR, according to HTF Market Intelligence.

Angry Angel is excited to bring their clean caffeine beverages to consumers seeking a healthier alternative to traditional energy drinks. The nationwide rollout features three refreshing flavors:

  • Blackberry Lemon

  • Tropical

  • Peach Ginger

“We started with a single Whole Foods location in North Carolina through their Local Supplier Program. Expanding nationwide is an exciting milestone,” said founder Justin Lloyd. This growth comes on the heels of Angry Angel’s launch in Costco and UNFI’s distribution network, bringing the brand’s door-count opportunity from 4,000 to 30,000-plus in 2026.

A Natural Approach to Energy + Focus

Justin spent years around energy drinks as a professional race car driver and wanted a healthier option. His background in biological engineering gave him the opportunity to approach product development differently. According to Justin, “Consumers today want healthy product swaps, but they don’t want to sacrifice taste or function.”

Key product features:

  • 120MG of natural caffeine from Yerba Mate: Provides a responsible amount of caffeine for a clean, jitter-free source of energy.

  • Gradual, feel-good energy: A time-released boost with a gradual rise and come-down, rather than the sharp spike and crash of traditional energy drinks.

  • Zero sugar and zero artificial sweeteners: Naturally sweetened with Monk Fruit, Angry Angel is keto-friendly and sugar-free. Made without sucralose, acesulfame-K, or aspartame.

  • Focus benefit: Enhanced with Ubiquinol CoQ10 and B-Vitamins, including Methylcobalamin B12.

  • Non-GMO Project Verified

About Angry Angel

Founded by professional race car driver Justin Lloyd, Angry Angel is a healthy alternative to traditional energy drinks. Powered by Yerba Mate and sweetened with Monk Fruit, Angry Angel delivers a clean energy and focus boost with no artificial ingredients and great taste.

For more information, visit their website and follow the brand on Instagram (@drinkangryangel). Angry Angel can be purchased at chains such as Whole Foods Market, H-E-B, Costco, GIANT, Ingles, Central Market, and more.
