Protein Dynamix Tropical

July 8th, 2023

Much like the mixed berry flavour of this drink, it’s quite sharp and bitter. If you like that sort of thing then you will like this drink! It’s a strong flavour too, not too watery, so you get a real tang on your tongue from it.

Protein Dynamix Mixed Berry

July 1st, 2023

It’s a nice looking can, matt silver with a nice simple design. But, it’s a quite bitter and strong flavoured drink that’s like a strong mixed berry squash.

It’s Time Energy Original

January 21st, 2023

I don’t care how many MMA stars are plastered on the can to intimidate me into liking this… I didn’t! This is a red berry flavoured drink, and has an extremely odd combination of being both very sweet whilst also dry and tart at the same time. A few sips of this had me wanting to scare my tongue clean, I’ve no idea how they managed that. Perhaps it’s the wolfberry extract, I’m not sure. This drink includes the now obligatory sugar-free-ness (which is a bonus in my opinion), BCAAs, B vitamins, and caffeine from green coffee beans. It’s also really caffeine-potent at 61mg/100ml in the 330ml can so keep that in mind! I only paid 20p for the can, so that should also be taken into consideration here I guess! Still, full marks for originality.

USN Power Punch Berry

August 21st, 2021

A bit of a disappointment really. It was a very generic ‘berry’ flavour, but I’d say it was predominantly blackcurrant. Low in calories but due to the large can size you got quite a caffeine hit. Quite sickly to drink the final third of the can though!

Monster HydroSport Superfuel Charge

July 24th, 2021

This is the sister flavour to ‘Hang Time’ which I stumbled across whilst at the Post Office / Bargain Booze dropping a parcel off. It was sitting all alone on the shelf so I just had to put it out of its misery. It’s a non-carbonated, quite large bottle of energy drink with no real description as to what the flavour might be. The only clue I could see was the orange coloured text on the bottle. Like the Hang Time version of the drink, the flavour is difficult to identify, but I’m pretty certain that there’s orange in there somewhere, possibly mixed with some other similar citrus fruits. It’s pretty nice and tangy with a large caffeine kick purely due to the volume of liquid.

Nocco Limon Del Sol

June 26th, 2021

I love lemon energy drinks… regular readers will know that already. This one is super-high with caffeine (55mg/100ml) in a medium-sized can (330ml) so packs quite a punch. Added BCAAs for that unneeded post-workout hit combine with a low calorie count to deliver a curious combination (I won’t rant about energy drinks aimed at serious gym-goers again), but it is very easy to drink and highly refreshing.

NOCCO Tropical

August 29th, 2020

Now here’s the tropical NOCCO – but don’t get this one, get the pineapple one I reviewed last week. This one is a bit sharp and synthetic tasting, quite difficult to get through the whole can really.

NOCCO Caribbean

August 22nd, 2020

Tropical! I had expected to taste coconut in this one (I don’t know why, I know that there’s giant pineapples all over the can) but it is definitely just a mild and sweet pineapple drink. High in caffeine, it’ll keep you going all day – and being pineapple it’s certainly different to most other drinks you’ll find.

NOCCO Red Berries

August 15th, 2020

I first discovered NOCCO at a 7Eleven whilst on holiday in Sweden. Being Sweden, it was a very expensive purchase. Then, a few days later I found myself in Norway and discovered NOCCO was even more expensive there! Anyway… I saw NOCCO being sold in Morrisons in the UK and it was considerably cheaper. This red berries flavour was quite bitter, but not as unpleasant as I had expected. After a few sips I had accustomed myself to the bitterness and started to enjoy it. An interesting line of drinks if you can find them. Oh yes, and they have a lot of caffeine in them.
