Thanks to Liquid Nitro I won't be getting any sleep

Today we have a twofer; Liquid Nitro, and the Liquid Nitro Energy Shot! Let me start out by saying that the last week, I’ve been really off schedule, and I just woke up from a nap. This stuff instantly had me wide awake (I’m sure I’ll be up until 4AM or something because of this, but hey, at least I’m able to right the review now!). But we don’t care about my sleep schedule, no, no, we care about caffeine; let’s check this stuff out.

Starting out with the classic Liquid Nitro, this stuff comes in a standard 16oz can and rocks the Liquid Nitro logo vertically along the front of the can in a contrasting silver and black design. The caffeine content of Liquid Nitro puts it up with the other energy drinks on the market, it carries the industry norm of 10mg of caffeine per oz, so a can is going to give us a solid 160mg of caffeine. Not bad! Liquid Nitro also delivers your standard Vitamin B6, B12 and Taurine to help give you a kick when you’ll feeling down and tired.

Liquid Nitro is caramel in color, and due to it’s slogan of “All Energy without the Bull” I assumed it was going to be another Red Bull Clone, however I was wrong. This stuff didn’t have a distinct enough smell for me to predict what it would taste like, so I went in blindly not knowing what to expect. I’m glad to say that this stuff tastes great, it kind of reminded me of Monster, but it didn’t have the same nasty medicinal taste of Monster. I can’t really seem to describe what the flavor is, the can doesn’t promote any specific flavor, so I’ll just describe the flavor as sweet. It’s not overpoweringly sweet, but it’s not bland. I know I’m not really being helpful with my lack of specific terms for this flavor, but I promise you that this is a great tasting drink!

As I told you in the beginning of the post, this stuff really got me into gear! I felt the kick after drinking about half of the can, so this stuff is definitely worth it! While some drinks don’t really do much for you, or take a while to do anything, Liquid Nitro doesn’t dawdle when it comes to smacking you awake.

Well. Now that I’m 160mg deep in caffeine, it’s time to check out Liquid Nitro’s Energy Shot. It’s 7:00PM right now, so I know I’m going to regret doing this early tomorrow morning when I’m laying in bed wide awake, but I love all of my readers, and I have a review to complete. This Shot comes in your standard 3oz plastic bottle and displays the same logo on the front that its big brother does. The only difference in the design is that the shot displays “Exotic Berry Flavor” on the label, so I should be able to get specific on the flavor of the shot. In addition, the shot boasts that it contains  “Super CitriMax and Chromate” which apparently will curb appetite, boost metabolism, and promote overall better health. So while I may not be getting any sleep tonight, I can at least be assured I won’t get any late night hunger cravings.

Just as the label promises, this stuff has a strong berry scent to it. The taste is pretty good too; it’s not something you want to sit in your mouth, as it’s a little overpowering, but if you just drink it like you’re supposed to, it leaves a nice sweet berry aftertaste. According to the ingredients, the flavor is a mix of mangosteen and blueberry, and they’re pretty tasty.

While the energy shot is smaller in size, it delivers a bigger kick of 200mg per bottle, so watch out if you try it and don;t let it catch you off guard. Overall, I’d say that the Liquid Nitro Energy line is fantastic! Both if these products deliver their promised kick, and neither are lacking in flavor!

If you want to get some Liquid Nitro for yourself, you can buy it from the distributor online at The Nitro Guy. The site also has a video promoting the drink – the video contains young children in rapping in Jamaica , and that’s certainly something you don’t see everyday, so head on over and get some for yourself!

The PomX Iced Coffee Trio

Today we’ll be looking at three drinks, each lovingly made by the folks over at Pom Wonderful . Pom Wonderful specializes in pomegranate drinks, and they’ve decided to enter the caffeine market with their product PomX Iced Coffee. Right now, there’s three flavors, and we have the pleasure of sampling all three. Pom boasts to be one of the healthiest caffeinated drinks out there, as it includes their patented pomegranate extract, so every sip is chock full of antioxidants (which are healthy!). They also use fat free milk, and are certified by the Rain forest Alliance (so they’re nice people). They use all natural ingredients and have chosen to use can sugar over the industry “standard” of HFCS.

Each drink comes in a plastic bulbous container with a screw off lid. It prominently – or should I say pomegranate-ly? (sorry about that) displays the flavor as well as the PomX logo. While the picture only shows one of the containers with the “The Healthy Buzz” badge, all of them now seem to have it. Additionally, each flavor packs 175mg of caffeine in a 10.5 oz container. Not bad! If you’re still with me even after that awful pun, let’s get to the actual taste, shall we?

First up to bat is the Vanilla variety. No, it does not taste like pomegranate, it’s iced coffee for goodness sake. This flavor smells like vanilla, and has a cream color to it. Vanilla tastes, well, it tastes like vanilla. I couldn’t even tell there was coffee in it, PomX clearly has utilized some sort of magic to mask out the coffee flavor. That being said, the Vanilla PomX goes down smooth, it’s not too strong, but it’s not watered down. The taste is utterly fantastic and with only 180 calories, it’s a great, and healthier alternative to the Starbucks Iced Coffees.

Next up is Café au Lait, and I’m already starting to feel the buzz from the first drink. Now this one smells like a cappachino, so it’s most likely to taste more coffee-esque than the last one. It has a kind of carmel hue to it, like coffee with a lot of milk, and just as it smells and looks like a cappacino, it tastes like it too. This variety also goes down smooth, and has a hint of coffee to the taste. PomX has done a good job of avoiding too strong of a beverage, and the Café au Lait has the perfect blend of coffee and milk to keep the flavor balanced.

Two drinks and 300mg of caffeine later, we’re now at the last of the three flavors; Chocolate. If you’ve been paying attention so far, you can probably guess that this one has a dark brown coloring, smells like chocolate, and tastes like chocolate. The taste is similar to chocolate milk with Hersey’s Syrup, but only tastes more mild and healthier (Pom uses cane sugar instead of HFCS).

This is a great product, and the three flavors are all great and give the customers a nice variety to pick from. You can check out the official site for PomX Iced Coffee over at HealthyBuzz.com or you can try to find some at your local store, use the website to locate the closest store.

5150 Juice (Crazy Juice)

Wow. I just want to start out by telling you how insane this stuff is. This is 5150 Juice (Crazy Juice) and it’s absolutely insane. This is the stuff that kept me awake during last minute finishing touches during the night on projects (okay, I admit they weren’t finishing touches, it was me starting the project several hours before the deadline, even after several weeks to do it), and is what kept me going hard through finals.

5150 is a product unlike any other, it’s straight up caffeine. Yes you heard me, no flavor, no additives, no gimmick, just caffeine. Each bottle packs 500mg of caffeine and you’d have to be mentally unstable or a bad ass to attempt to finish it off in one serving. The product explains that a “capful of juice” is about 80mg, or your average energy drinks worth. The product also warns you to be sure to mix it with something, be it water, Merlot, your ceral, sports drinks, whatever. Just don’t try the stuff straight up.

After checking out the instructions I took a taste without mixing it first (because I love my readers and because I’m stubborn), and it tastes like plastic and bleh. So AFTER that, I mixed it with a cup of water and I couldn’t taste it at all. The same goes for when I mixed it with Gatorade, and then Fruity Pebbles. As long as you FOLLOW INSTRUCTIONS you’ll be fine, you won’t taste a thing.

5150 is my dream product – I can take any bland food or drink item and instantly make it caffeinated! The juice itself is clear, so you can’t even tell it’s been added to your drink, that is, until it kicks in. This stuff doesn’t fail to deliver, it certainly packs a punch.This is most certainly a product to try, 1 bottle is $2.50 (that’s several energy drinks worth of caffeine for the price of one) or a 12 pack for 17.99.

You can grab yourself some 5150 Juice straight from the source online here.

Ávitāe comes in a triangular, cylindrical shaped bottle and the bottle diffuses from gray to clear. The bottle displays the name of product and the world “vitality” appears in yellow over the “v”. It’s a really simplistic design, so there’s not that much to say about the bottle.

As for the actual product, Ávitāe tastes likes, well, it’s water. It has the kick of a cola, but doesn’t taste like anything, so it’s just water with a kick. Ávitāe is a really simple product, no gimmicks, no additives, just water with some caffeine. If you want to learn more about Ávitāe, you can head over to their site.

When you first open bHIP, you notice the dark red/brown powder. The powder itself doesn’t look all that enticing, but the powder smells a bit like fruit punch Kool-Aid, hopefully this stuff will have the same taste. After pouring this stuff into 8oz of water, I stirred the concoction up, let it settle and then put my taste buds to work. This drink mix still has a hint of the fruity smell from earlier, but it’s not as strong after being mixed with the water. This stuff also turns into a dark red concoction after being mixed, but I need to stop boring you all with details, it’s time to try t already! This stuff has a tiny hint of a fruit taste in it, but is also pretty bitter, and doesn’t taste as good as it smelled. In addition, some of the powder granules won’t dissolve, which leaves a bit of a grainy texture to this drink, and makes the last few sips really overpowering.

As for the nutrients and such, bHIP contains 24 calories per bag, 2g sugar, 30mg Vitamin C, 120mcg of Vitamin B12, and a 3000mg energy blend. bHIP is marketed as a natural energy supplement, and contains Acai berry and stevia leaf. The fact that it contains few calories and sugar helps boost this drink ratings, and it comes across as a similar drink to FRS.

Overall, it’s tough to say what I think of this stuff, its taste isn’t the best, but some people prefer a more natural tasting drink, it’s really all preference. We obtained this stuff from the bHIP Global website, where you can get 30 packets for $42 if you’re interested.

Superfruit lives up to its name with a really fruit smell. After opening the can, you’ll realize that this drink smells exactly like Hawaiian Punch (or Tahitian Treat, whichever your prefer) and has a light red, almost pinkish, color to it; it’s similar to the pinkish band on the top of the can. While this variety of Juicy doesn’t taste like Hawaiian Punch, it still tastes great with its medley of exotic fruits like yumberry, black currant, açai, and pomegranate. Having it be that this drink uses interesting fruits, it’s difficult to describe the flavor, as I can’t think of anything else that tastes similar to it.

As for the caffeine content, while Juicy has a different taste than the other GURUs, it’s energy blend is the exact same. If you’re too lazy to read my other posts on GURU drinks, I’ll restate the caffeine content here too for you. This drink contains 97mg of caffeine per 8.3fl oz. serving, so about 145mg per 12oz can. The proprietary blend is 1285mg per serving and consists of the standard guarana extract, panax ginseng, and ginkgo biloba mix, with an added Echinacea flower extract.

To summarize this drink, GURU Juicy: Superfruit delivers a nice boost of energy without carbonation of HFCS, and comes with an interesting, and delicious, flavor. You can find this drink in some health food stores, or you can buy it online (use PROMO CODE: Caffeine_GURU10% for 10% off). Coupon has expired, sorry guys!

Upon opening this beverage at first, I caught a whiff of what smells a bit like Full On, but soon caught a tangerine smell and the lemon scent faded into the back. Juicy: Tangerine has a great citrus taste to it, it’s an interesting mix of flavors, and isn’t bland like some fruit juices are; it has a nice tangerine flavor with a hint of lemon and some other fruit and isn’t too sweet. Additionally, the cane sugar gives it a pure, natural taste and it goes down smooth. If there was high fructose in this drink, it wouldn’t be nearly as good. The nice thing about being a GURU “hybrid” drink is that Juicy contains no carbonation, so nothing interferes with the rich, sharp citrus taste and you can focus on the juice itself, without additives getting in the way of your enjoyment of the drink.

While this drink may come across as no different than that glass of juice you have every morning, it packs a kick that that Florida’s Natural (which is far better then Tropicana) can’t, albeit orange juice has Vitamin C, which GURU lacks. A 12oz can of this tangerine concoction contain 130 calories, 32 sugars (from cane juice) and about 145mg of caffeine per can, or 97mg per 8.3fl oz. Like the rest of the GURU family, this drink contains the 1285mg/serving energy blend of guarana, panax ginseng, gingko biloba, and Echinacea flower. So the next time you reach for some fruit juice, consider the fact that you can get the same USDA certified organic juice, but with caffeine, from GURU.

You can find GURU energy in some wholefood stores with their store finder, or you can buy some at their online store and get free shipping and 10% off with our exclusive coupon Caffeine_GURU10% Coupon has expired, sorry guys! . I’m not affiliated with GURU Beverages in any way, shape or form, but I am affiliated with the coupon , so treat yourself to something nice with an even nicer discount.

Upon opening Full On: Lemonade, I instantly recognized the lemonade scent. Having it be that GURU Lemonade is USDA organic and all natural, it’s smell is exactly like that of organic lemonade: a strong lemon one that is not overpowered by artificial sweeteners and sugar. As a fan of organic lemonade, I realized that Full On would woo me with its fantastic smell and taste. If you’ve had organic lemonade before, you know exactly what Full On tastes like. If you haven’t, it’s like normal lemonade, but a little more bitter and lemony. Don’t think of bitter as being bad in this case, it’s not unpleasant; it’s just not overly sweet. The lack of fizzy in Full On makes for one smooth drink that’s great for any occasion, especially sports. It’s not too sweet like other sports drinks, it has salt (electrolytes) in it, and the lack of carbonation won’t upset your stomach while you wipe the field with your awesome skills, or whatever you’re doing at the time.

It’s an interesting concept, really. It’s just like organic lemonade, but it has 145mg of caffeine per 12oz can, guarana, panax ginseng, ginkgo biloba, and Echinacea flower extract; it’s everything a normal energy drink is without the additives and carbonation, which makes this a great drink.

If you want some for yourself, you can use GURU’s store locater, or you can buy it through their online store. If you use he latter of the two, be sure to treat yourself to a sweet 10% off and free shipping! Just use the coupon code: Caffeine_GURU10% at checkout. Coupon has expired, sorry guys!

The first of one of their wonderful varieties is: GURU Iced Tea: Green Tea Honey-Lemon. Honey-Lemon comes in a green, bubbly looking can with a USDA certified organic label on the back. The drink itself has a light brown, honey color to it, and it smells just like iced tea with a hint of lemon and honey, as the name suggests. Because most tea smells the same, it was hard to determine whether or not this drink would impress me, or fall flat on its face like some of the organic teas on the market do. The result? This stuff’s great! GURU Iced Tea tastes great and goes down smooth, as it’s tea, not a carbonated beverage, and the added guarana gives it an extra kick. Each 12oz can comes with 145mg of caffeine, and 1927mg energy blend consisting of: guarana seed, Echinacea flower, panax ginseng, and ginkgo bilboa. This drink has set the bar pretty high for the rest of the GURU drinks, as I’m very happy with this one, and looking forward to the rest.

You can get GURU Energy products at their online store, and they’re kind enough to offer free shipping with every purchase. Additionally, GURU is offering CaffeineGuru readers 10% off their purchase! Just enter the coupon (valid through Feb. 2009): Caffeine_GURU10% at purchase! And for those of you that want to treat someone else to GURU, they have a promotion going on this December that allows you to send a friend a 12-pack of GURU for FREE with any purchase on their website. Coupon has expired, sorry guys!
