I absolutely love the Monster Energy Lo Carb. To me, this is everything that I look for in a functional beverage. The taste is great - it tastes like bubble gum, but not too sweet. I actually do feel the surge quicker with the low cal / low sugar drinks. I wonder if there is a medical explanation for this? I am drinking more and more of the “blue” Monster than ever ( it has the blue / black graphics, the regular Monster Energy has green / black graphics ). Overall, the Monster brand has put out great energy products and endorsed some awesome athletes, and from what I hear, business is good for Monster Energy! www.monsterenergy.com

Red Bull Sugar Free Energy Shot is a great addition to the Red Bull family of drinks. This shot has the same great flavor as the sugar free carbonated Red Bull. You won’t mistake this brand for anything else. The packaging design is right on with the light blue packaging of the canned beverage. It is slick and clean. Like most of the other drinks in this category, this has no sugar and is sweetened with sucralose. The caffeine content is not overpowering at all, just 80 mg ( about as much as a cup of coffee ). The energy blend also contains taurine, vitamin b-12, vitamin b-6, and niacin.

For some reason, whether it be my metabolism or the fact that it is sugar free, I felt the boost more than the Red Bull energy shot with sugar in it. These drinks all effect us differently but for some reason this one made me feel better. Kudos to Red Bull! redbull.com

Nitro 2 Go has a very colorful packaging design for this 4FL OZ vitamin supplement. Although it is very colorful and screams pick me off the shelf, there was nothing on the label that told you what flavor it was. As you can see, this honker will give you *UP TO 14 hours of energy (which is the highest number of hours I have ever seen on a energy shot). This shot has a lemon limey flavor. I am pretty sure it was lemon lime… the label left me guessing.

Bawls geek beer is a root beer flavored energy drink that is very tasty. This is the only energy root beer I have ever tasted and I am in love with it! The branding is great and the energy kick is spot on. Superb taste, smooth finish. I love it. Geeks will love it. You will love it if you enjoy a good ol fashioned rootbeer.
