The answer is no. Snap does not cover energy drinks. Energy drinks are not included in the food stamps program.
Ban Energy Drinks from SNAP
It’s a common question we get at Snap – does our insurance cover energy drinks? The answer is unfortunately no, but we understand why you might be wondering. Energy drinks are becoming increasingly popular, and with that come concerns about their safety.
While there isn’t a ton of research on the topic yet, what we do know is that these drinks can contain high levels of caffeine and other stimulants. This can lead to side effects like anxiety, jitters, and even heart palpitations. Because of these potential risks, most insurance companies don’t cover them.
However, at Snap we believe in giving our members the freedom to make their own choices when it comes to their health. So while we don’t cover energy drinks, we hope that our members will make informed decisions about whether or not they’re right for them.

What Does Texas Food Stamps Cover?

In order to be eligible for SNAP benefits, you must be a U.S. citizen or legal permanent resident and have an annual household income below a certain level.
Once you are approved for SNAP benefits, you will receive an Electronic Benefits Transfer (EBT) card. This card can be used like a debit card to purchase food at any grocery store or other retail location that accepts EBT cards. You can also use your EBT card to purchase food online through select retailers.
SNAP benefits can be used to purchase any type of food, including: fresh fruits and vegetables; meat, poultry, and fish; dairy products; breads and cereals; and non-alcoholic beverages. You cannot use your SNAP benefits to purchase alcohol, tobacco products, pet food, or hot foods that are ready to eat.
