As you can tell by my enhanced water and energy tea drink reviews, I’m on the lookout for the perfect energy drink. Here are my requirements:
- Not too expensive. This is a big one since the low-carb canned energy drink I now buy is $30 a case at Costco or about $1.50 a can.
- Low calorie. I don’t mind sugar substitutes too much if they’re not too sweet.
- Healthy. I want B vitamins for energy and anti-oxidants (C or E), too. I also like added fiber, real juice, and green tea.
- Caffeine. The more the merrier I am.
- Fat burning. L-carnitine, chromium, guarana, hoodia, ginseng, etc. I’m not really sure that any of this stuff works, but I’d like to think so. And if I’m paying a premium for an energy drink that supposedly boosts your metabolism (like a bunch of them claim) then bring it on!
- Convenient. Cans or bottles are fine as long as they are recyclable. But I really like the single servings of powders available in the drink mix/iced tea aisle, too. Less waste and cheaper.
The latest energy drink I tried comes from a trusted fruit juice source.
