The Energy Drink Wars-Part 1

How do these drinks stack up?

I've tried numerous energy drinks over the past few years, Rockstar, Red Bull, Xyience, NOS, Monster and many more.

In terms of energy, they all get the job done, some are a little more potent than others. These drinks all contain caffeine, taurine and B-vitamins. The caffeine levels range from 80mg to 260mg per can. Most 16oz cans contain two servings, so be-careful!

Let's get started

If sugar isn't a concern and flavor is, look no further. NOS energy, loaded cherry, grape and charged citrus are at the top of my list, the original and fruit punch are also worth a mention. The flavoring is outstanding the only downside, their loaded with a ton off sugar. NOS contains 260mg of caffeine per 16oz can, if your sensitive to caffeine, beware...NOS packs a punch!

AMP energy sports a new look and a new formula. The Flavors=original, grape, berry, cherry and lemonade. All five are fantastic. The new formula is offered in three versions ( Focus-Active-Boost) four of the flavors contain 50% less sugar and carbs than the previous formula. Sugar-free flavors are also available. AMP packs 160mg of caffeine per 16oz can. Highly recommend. 

When it comes to sugar-free drinks, Rockstar-zero carb (blue) RULES! the flavor (berry) and profile is unbeatable. Rockstar zero contains 240mg of super clean energy per 16oz can. This one is on another level...the undisputed KING!

Twin Lab has a energy drink out called "Pure Fuel" for some reason this one doesn't draw much attention. Pure Fuel ranks very high on my list. The flavor is cherry, energy is super smooth and price tag is reasonable which makes this drink very attractive. Pure Fuel contains 80mg of caffeine per 12oz can (sugar free)

KICK energy drink is the new kid on the block. KICK was designed to compete with Red Bull. Flavor wise their almost identical. KICK delivers a mild clean source of energy, 80mg of caffeine per 8oz can.

More reviews coming soon on Monster, Xyience, Full Throttle and  Red Bull (zero)
