Your Favorite Energy Drink Please!

Going through uni I depended on energy drinks a lot and tried every one I could find. Since then I only drink them when I am working late/overnight and it is hot so I don't want coffee.

I always used to like Rockstar but I'm a fan of fruity tastes... most of the fruity flavors taste horrible though! In the end I found my total favorite, Nos Fruit Punch. It tastes like lightly carbonated fruit punch and is delicious!

I tried Red Bull once. Close to the most disgusting thing I ever put in my mouth.
My energy drink of choice would be Yerba Matte tea either iced or hot.
If I just want to maintain the energy I already have, then Green tea, again either iced or hot.

Agree with Sal, Brad and Kim


Not just that, but almost all those energy drinks(red bull, monster etc) and beverages like coke, diet coke, pepsi, fanta contain aspartame which is very dangerous for your health.

Avoid those beverages if you want to stay healthy!

I hate those drinks. They taste bad and all they do is add caffeine.

I can take caffeine pills easier and cheaper (and I've used those for years as I don't drink coffee).

My concern about energy drinks is that I see so many young kids drinking them today. High doses of caffeine for pre-teens and teens is not a good nutritional choice.

I know kids who use those drinks to stay awake because they are sleeping enough and I don't think long term results will be good.

I see that a lot at the casino. Have written about it, too. This is popular on college campuses. If there's anything worse than a passed out drunk - it's a wide awake drunk!

I know there are other things - I had to taste the drinks but I didn't fully consume a single one of them as they tasted awful.

I dont understand how people digest these drinks. MY friends usually drink redbulls, stings and various types of other energy drinks they think that these drinks boost their energy level but I think the are wrong. These drinks taste so bad that sometimes it gets me choking. I think its the taste which gives you energy not the drink.

Cuban coffee (like espresso only sweeter)

Hmmm... I don't ever feel that I need a boost. I'm a green tea man. Go green!
There are quite a few people at my workplace who have 2 litre bottles of coke/pepsi/tango almost surgically attached it seems... lol

Each to their own!

"Monster" tastes good for a quick boost.

Defiantly it will be Red Bull, instant drink to be active and fresh I use it when I want to be awake and active for more than 48 hours constantly.

Well if you don't want an energy drink but would like a kick in the head right away, try a black eye. Black coffee with a shot (or two depending on how tough you are ) of espresso.

However, if you want to get energy and don't crash try this:

- a banana (for potassium, good for muscles)
- some sweet nuts - macadamia or the sort (seeds are food for brain and have a high caloric content, ass well as oils that help)
- vitamin C (or orange juice but a lot of people don't like the taste with the rest of the ingredients)
- some ginseng
- black tea leaves (they contain caffeine but in a more subtle and less withdrawly? than coffee)
- honey (natures sugar, unrefined from queen bee is the best)
- grapes or strawberries ( they add a special tang! to the mix, plus texture and color)
- water or milk
- ice

Blend it and enjoy.

Another thing you can do is freeze everything (try not using the banana in this case and obviously don't use milk) and eat it like a Popsicle during the day or evening as a snack.

I would have to go with a Venti Quad Caramel Macchiato...(at least one)

Not really an energy drink, but a Coke always helps me get through the day.
