Oshee Vitamin Energy Formula: Vitamins + Minerals
November 29th, 2014It’s original alright – it doesn’t appear to have any added caffeine over the guarana extract. It tastes okay, it has no strange side effects, but it doesn’t give you the expected energy kick. It has tons of sugar in, so is not really aimed at the health conscious either which begs the question: just who is this drink aimed at anyway?

Boost Energy Orange and Mango
October 18th, 2014It’s a middle of the road tropical drink. I managed to drink the whole can, so that means it wasn’t to sour or sharp. It was, however, very sickly, and a large 500ml can like this was far too much in one go.
Nutri1st 3in1 Sports Drink Orange
April 26th, 2014It’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.
Rockstar Juiced – Mango, Orange, Passion Fruit
April 12th, 2014It might list the fruits on the can, but it really is just a tropical flavour energy drink. Sweet, fruity, mildly refreshing but mostly a bit too sickly for my liking. I still prefer the more artificial flavour of Monster Ripper if you’re going to go down the tropical route.
Orange Power Booster
October 26th, 2013Woah, how much orange flavour can one squeeze in to a drink??!? Lots apparantly. This is the most orangy orange flavoured orange drink ever, and very sweet too. Imagine Tango, but concentrated loads and you’re nearly there. Nice though and despite the average caffeine content, it gave me quite a kick.
Bullit Orange
October 9th, 2013I’m guessing, given the clue in the name, that this drink was supposed to be orange flavoured. It definitely had a citrus taste to it, but it was more akin to a tropical drink than orange to be honest. I also didn’t get that much of a kick from it despite the regular 30mg/100ml of caffeine in the huge 568ml can. Nah, I’ll not bother with this one again.

Lucozade Sport Elite Orange
July 31st, 2013Watery. I guess on a run it might be quite refreshing – slightly flavoured so as to not be to sickly during high exertion. But, as an energy drink, it lacks a crucial detail of taste. It’s non-carbonated, yet caffeinated for an extra kick so it slips down easily and boots you several minutes later. Well, boot is probably the wrong word as it has a comparatively low caffeine content… maybe prod is a better word.

Shapers Orange Stimulation Drink
June 19th, 2013‘Part of the 500 calorie meal deal’ from Boots, apparently. It’s an own-brand offering from the high street store, one of two flavours they have for sale. It’s clearly aimed at the calorie conscious, providing only 16 calories per can, but it does manage to cram in actual real orange juice. That would explain the most natural orange flavour I’ve tasted in an energy drink. It’s sharp, but fortunately watered down to the point of being just about right, and it packs 32mg/100ml of caffeine. On a karmic scale – it probably balances bad-for-you with good-for-you.

Lucozade Revive – Orange with Acai
June 12th, 2013Better than the cranberry version, but not as good as the lemongrass. It really just tasted like orange Lucozade and not that special at all. I had high hopes for the new range of Lucozades, but to be honest there’s only the one of them which stands out. Go for the lemongrass flavour instead as it’s refreshing and different – if you want an orange Lucozade, get the original orange flavour instead
