Update (& added the fifth star):I have a bad time with headaches. I've had a headache slowly come on for the past two and a half weeks now. Today it decided to come at me full force and once they start, nothing stops them, meds, temperature, stretches, exercises, etc., they just get worse. Or so I thought. In a need to feel assuaged and just overall feel better because I feel terrible today I decided to make myself a serving of this stuff and I just realized that... my headache is suddenly mostly gone?!?!? It's teetering between a 0.5 and a 1. I'm absolutely floored. My headaches usually just get worse and worse and then start spreading and they can get so bad they end up affecting my eyesight even though they're not migraines; I've never had anything help me manage them. I'm going to go make myself another half serving.Original:Personally I find Salted Caramel to be entirely unpalatable. I've managed to bury it by tripling the amount of water (24oz), adding 1/2 tsp butter rum extract, 1/4 tsp vanilla extract, a monk fruit sweetened caramel drink syrup and ice but that only makes it just this side of drinkable.Tbf, I can't seem to like the flavors of any of their products, though maybe that's because they taste entirely different to what I'm used to these things tasting like.* However, despite this, I also find that their products are very effective at what they claim to do and thus, even though I can't stand the flavor, I actually crave this stuff for my afternoon need of energy. Regardless, I definitely won't be buying this flavor again. However, considering that the "unflavored" is still flavored with cocoa powder, just not stevia like the sweetened chocolate flavor, I guess I won't be able to get a truly unflavored variety, either. (Update: the sweet cocoa is worlds better but as always, taste is subjective.)*Salted or not, caramel has been my favorite drink flavor as well as almost everything sweet for as long as I can remember. Likewise, blue raspberry has been my favorite flavor of any hard candies since I was first allowed to have candy. Their products taste so far from what I'm used to that my first taste of these two was borderline "offensive" to my taste buds.

I combine this with my barista milk while frothing with a shot or two of espresso to make a salted caramel latte. The flavor is on point, and I notice a difference in taste and my 1% extra of self. Also, the mixing is on point without any clumps. I also mix this with DOSE, which doesn't have this amazing salted caramel flavor.

False advertisement it does mention 0 sugar but it does not mention it has stevia so you discover the stevia until you read closely the ingredients unfortunately I found out when tasted and lm allergic to stevia

I like this product, but it’s expensive. When you get this product there is a QR code on the lid for 25% off your next order. But when you input the code at checkout it says the promo code is not valid. It’s frustrating and will affect if I buy this product again.The company contacted me and made this issue more than right. I will continue to buy this product because I really do like it. Changing review to 5 stars for their customer service.

Mixes in great with protein shakes for a caffeine boost without the coffee jitters

I adore a lot of the genius products and buy them regularly, this one had a little too strong of a cocoa flavor to it (cocoa flavor gives me headaches) so not a winner for me but shared with people at work :)

I added a little cocoa mix to tone down taste . It wasn't too difficult to mix with hot water like some others are.

I really like this coffee substitute. I had it with hot milk and it tasted like hot chocolate. Despite only having 30 mg of caffeine, it gave me a boost comparable to drinking an energy drink but with more focus and no jitters. It also did not negatively affect my sleep at night! I will be buying this again!
