Nutri1st 3in1 Sports Drink Berry

May 14th, 2014

Infinitly better than the Orange variety of this drink, as in it didn’t make me feel sick. It really does just taste like slightly fruity still water. Okay, so it’s got a tiny amount of protein in it, but it’s not worth the money in my opinion so just buy a protein bar and a can of Red Bull instead.

Evolve Sugar Free

May 10th, 2014

I’m not sure if this is related to the other Evolve (full fat version) I tasted a while back, but it’s not how I remember it! This Evolve Sugar Free drink is a clone, but it’s very nice. Not metallic at all as I remember the other one being. I’d highly recommend you try it if you can find it.

M Energy Drink Sugar Free

May 7th, 2014

Just another sugar free energy drink. Better than Euro Shopper is now as in recent months I’m pretty sure they have changed their recipe, but still just a clone.

M Energy Drink

May 3rd, 2014

It’s another budget Red Bull clone from a convenience store. It’s cheap, tastes sweet, and wakes you up. Nothing else to say I’m afraid.

Lucozade Energy: Melonade

April 30th, 2014

This is a limited edition flavour and it’s pretty good. It’s a mild fizzy melon flavoured drink which is very high in calories, but low in caffeine. In fact, I’ve guessed at the caffeine content based on the information I know about other Lucozade Energy drinks because the label on this bottle doesn’t give you any clues.

Nutri1st 3in1 Sports Drink Orange

April 26th, 2014

It’s a clever idea – jump on the bandwagon of protein drinks by producing an energy drink with added protein. The 3in1 on the bottle refers to the combination of protein, carbohydrates and caffiene, and the drink is clearly marketed at the gym-going type. The taste, sadly, is not up to scratch. The orange is very bitter and not at all refreshing. If I were drinking this after a gym session, it wouldn’t help my stomach at all. Alsom if it’s protein you are after then you should probably go for an actual protein shake or protein bar – this drink contains less than 2g of protein.

KX Still Red Berry

April 23rd, 2014

Sickly in quantity but not too bad overall. It’s more like drinking one of those cheap children’s plastic cup drinks than an energy drink because it’s still and not carbonated. Nothing original though as there are dozens of berry drinks which taste the same.

KX Fiery Sugar Free

April 19th, 2014

Just as nauseating as the full fat version with the same fiery aftertaste, much as you might expect from a drink named as such. I can’t tell it’s sugar free from the taste when compared with the sugared version so go and read that review for my full critique.

Superman Energy Drink

April 16th, 2014

In theory, this drink should be the best drink ever. It’s officially linked to DC according to the logos on the back, and it’s probably imported from Krypton or at the very least the Fortress of Solitude. Sadly though it tastes just like a cheap Red Bull knock-off. It’s on the sour side with notes of pear drops, but it’s still very much a cheap tasting drink. Shame really, they could have made a brilliant drink with branding like this. Here’s my suggestion: make it bright green like kryptonite, change the flavour to something more fruity, and brand it as an antidote to kryptonite… just a suggestion. Right, anyone seen a Batman energy drink?
