Energy Drink - Acai Berry Sparkling Sugar Free Energy Drinks, Low Calorie Beverages infused with Green Tea, Essential Vitamins, Nootropics and Adaptogens, No Preservatives - KUMU (12 Pack) (AWAKEN Acai Berry)

These splenda filled drinks made my stomach feel odd. Got them at a discount but, the general value for the money on this product is terrible. Priced like a premium one yet not sourced like one. Taste mediocre.

Good quality. Good taste for being zero-sugar. Not too strong. I enjoyed them.

Flavor not good.

I am not at all interested in energy drinks or drinks with caffeine (this has 80mg caffeine), but I do like trying drinks with different flavors, especially if it’s a flavor combo that I haven’t tried before. Strawberry typically gets paired with kiwi, and mango is often paired with peach. I don’t think I’ve tried a drink that paired strawberry with mango, so I decided to give it a shot. Everything else that they used to sell this product holds no interest for me. However, it does include some vitamins, especially of the B and C variety, so that’s great. I also noticed that it’s sugar alternative is sucralose as opposed to something like erythritol or monk fruit or stevia, which is also good as sucralose tastes more like regular sugar than pretty much any of the alternatives, and a lot of common alternatives, such as the ones I mentioned, taste pretty bad to me. This does not have any fruit juice, so all of the flavor is coming from some kind of chemical process which they list as natural flavor.After trying it, I would say that the flavor is OK. I don’t find it off-putting at all, but I wouldn’t say that they really knocked it out of the park with this flavor either. I don’t think either the strawberry or the mango come through that well. It does have a sort of aftertaste, and I felt like I got more of the mango flavor with that aftertaste. My wife tried it, and her conclusion was that she both liked it and disliked it. I guess some aspect of the flavor worked for her and some aspect of it did not.So yeah, this was fine, and I won’t have any problem finishing off this case, but I probably wouldn’t make any effort to get this again and probably won’t bother trying any of their other flavors.

Product is not drinkableIs flatA big noNow wonder it was on sale

Good tasting this energy drink uses no sugar or high fructose corn syrup for sweetening instead it uses sucralose (Splenda) which although it can leave an aftertaste I detected none in this drink. There are no artificial flavors in the fizzy drink and there are 80mg of caffeine derived from organic green tea per 12 ounce 5 calorie serving.For comparison an 8 ounce cup of coffee contains 95mg of caffeine. The akai berry flavor is absolutely delicious. To estimate shelf-life at the time of this review in September 2022 the Best By date is 26 months in the future but dates will vary. Excellent.

I selected this item through the Vine program because I love caffeine!This is more a sport supplement than a soda. It’s not fortified with any meaningful amount of vitamins or minerals, but it does have L-Leucine, L-Valine, and L-Isoleucine. These are amino acids associated with aiding metabolism, muscle growth, and recovery. The overwhelming ingredient though is caffeine. Compared to a Diet Coke, this drink has over four times the caffeine. It has almost twice the amount of a Red Bull. That’s bonkers.Regarding taste, I think it’s fine but definitely not good. Fairly tart, not much on the sweet side. No strong after taste, but not what I would call delicious either. But that’s probably for the best. You do not want to chug these like a soda. Seriously, 200 mg of caffeine per can is no joke.The concerning thing is I can’t find a working website for the manufacturer. There’s an Instagram and FB page, but the only link goes to a dead website. It’s a very new company though, so maybe they’re just working the kinks out.For more info on the Amazon Vine program, check the official page https://www.amazon.com/vine/about

I thought it would taste like a Celcius, Bang, C4 or something similar, and it was HORRIBLE.... I don't know how I'm going to finish these....
