Introducción: El desarrollo de bebidas nutracéuticas enriquecidas con extractos de propóleo, canela y clavo de olor ha despertado interés debido a sus propiedades bioactivas y potencial aplicación en la industria alimentaria. Metodología: Se realizó una revisión sistemática exploratoria siguiendo los lineamientos PRISMA, mediante la búsqueda de estudios publicados entre 2020 y 2025 en Scopus, ScienceDirect, Redalyc, SciELO, Google Scholar, SpringerLink y PubMed. Los artículos seleccionados fueron analizados cualitativamente según sus efectos fitoquímicos, microbiológicos, tecnológicos y sensoriales en bebidas. Resultados: Los estudios mostraron variaciones en los compuestos fenólicos y la actividad antioxidante según el extracto, concentración, matriz y condiciones experimentales. El propóleo presentó efectos favorables sobre parámetros bioactivos y microbiológicos, incluso en bebidas fermentadas, mientras que la canela y el clavo de olor mostraron actividad antioxidante y antimicrobiana en diferentes matrices. Las estrategias de encapsulación evidenciaron potencial para favorecer la estabilidad de algunos compuestos bioactivos y, en determinadas formulaciones, la aceptación sensorial. Conclusiones El propóleo, la canela y el clavo de olor presentan potencial tecnológico y funcional para el desarrollo de bebidas nutracéuticas. Sin embargo, la heterogeneidad de las formulaciones, extractos, concentraciones, métodos de extracción y condiciones de almacenamiento impide establecer una concentración universalmente óptima, por lo que los resultados deben interpretarse de acuerdo con las características específicas de cada producto.
