Frankly Fido: Frankly’s philanthropic initiative focuses on animal welfare. We give back 1% of revenue to support no-kill animal shelters, sanctuaries, and/or animal cruelty advocacy organizations.

A juicy little secret, pomegranate is one of the mightiest fruits that has been cultivated since ancient times. Lemon juice provides a punch of vitamin C and a taste that only bright sunshine creates. We took the ancient spice turmeric paired it with zesty ginger; both roots contain powerful compounds. Peruvian maca root delivers replenishing energy that is sustained, not jittery. A tad of natural maple syrup provides just the right amount of sweetness that rounds the palate.

Offering tartness and tang, the deep flavor undoubtedly captures the senses. Aromatic to the nose, this concoction is complex yet bright. Frankly, we like real. Essentially, we’ve woven together nature’s ingredients, all of which could stand on their own, in just the right amounts. Frankly, we like real.
