Born out of a deep love for heritage and clean ingredients, TUYYO instant Agua Fresca drink mixes are a modern reimagining of a beloved cultural classic. Inspired by the fresh fruit drinks made by abuelas in Latin households and the nostalgic powdered mixes many of us grew up with, TUYYO blends tradition with innovation. Founder Stefanie Garcia Turner, a first-generation Mexican American, created the brand to bridge the gap between wellness-focused food trends and authentic Latin flavors. TUYYO — "Tu y Yo," meaning "you and me" — is about more than a beverage; it's about connection, culture, and community.

One of the core values behind TUYYO is a commitment to transparency and clean ingredients, especially when it comes to avoiding GMOs. Each mix is Non-GMO Project Verified, reflecting a belief that families deserve non-GMO options that support their health. In a food landscape filled with overly processed, artificial-laden products, especially in Hispanic grocery aisles, TUYYO stands apart by prioritizing real ingredients like organic agave and real fruit powders. The Non-GMO Project label isn’t just a badge, it’s a promise to provide customers with a product they can trust. This is especially important in communities disproportionately affected by health concerns like diabetes and obesity.

Convenience also plays a big role in TUYYO’s success. With a growing need for quick, easy and healthy beverage options, TUYYO makes it simple to enjoy delicious Agua Fresca in under a minute with the refreshing flavor of the authentic beverage. Just add water and stir — no chopping fruit or long prep times required. It’s the perfect solution for busy families, working professionals and anyone who wants a flavorful, hydrating drink without the hassle or guilt.

In addition to crafting delicious, better-for-you beverages, TUYYO is committed to giving back. The company donates a portion of its profits each year to Latino-led nonprofits that are driving positive change in their communities. Organizations such as Latino Outdoors, the Guadalupe Cultural Arts Center in San Antonio, and the Little Village Environmental Justice Organization in Chicago are just a few examples of groups TUYYO supports. These partnerships are a reflection of the brand’s mission to uplift Latinx communities through food, culture, and advocacy — because change starts at the local level, and every sip can be a step toward something greater.

With refreshing flavors like Mango, Pineapple, Strawberry, and Horchata, TUYYO is a flavorful revolution in powdered drinks. It's not just a product, it’s a movement rooted in cultural pride, clean eating (and drinking!), and bringing people together, one glass at a time.
