FRS Energy: Peach Mango
Hey CG readers! Check me out on Twitter and MySpace and make me feel loved! :P The Facebook page is coming too soon, and I'm still working on updating the Twitter and MySpace
Today we’ll cover the fourth and final FRS Energy product. The last FRS product is the only one that’s an actual ready to drink energy drink, unlike the other ones. I have to say that the FRS product line is pretty repetitive, as they’re all the same product basically, but in different forms. The FRS Peach Energy has a very nice peach-mango scent, and it contains the same yellow-orange color as the FRS powder and syrup. Of the four products, I have to say this one is my favorite; not only do you not have to prepare it, but it’s the best tasting. The drink has a nice, although somewhat bland, peachy mango flavor to it. It’s not bitter in the least bit, and it doesn’t taste artificial or bitter as it contains mango puree and peach juice. This drink is great for people who need some energy without all of the sugar and artificial flavors of some energy drinks. The Peach Mango only has 25 calories, it’s non-carbonated, and contains the proprietary FRS vitamin blend. Additionally, it contains 48mg of caffeine and while it’s still a smaller amount than most energy products, its a good amount and is a step up from the other FRS products. Overall this drink is pretty good, it packs a nice bit of energy, tastes great and is pretty healthy.

FRS Liquid Concentrate
First chews, then powdered mixes, now FRS comes in liquid concentrate form. The FRS liquid concentrate mix is like its kin, the powdered mix, in every way except for, well, it’s not a powdered mix. The syrup comes in a 5-serving bottle, and the packaging suggests that you finish the bottle within one month of opening it. Each serving consists of mixing 2oz of the mix with about 6oz of water, much like each powdered packet goes with 6oz of water. The result is an orange flavored, non-carbonated, energy drink perfect for drinking prior to a workout. This low calorie (20 calories per serving) drink tastes like Sunny D, but is a little less sweet, but certainly better for you. Like the rest of the products in the FRS Energy line, the syrup contains the standard FRS mix of various vitamins and quercetin, as well as antioxidants. It tastes great, and while it only has 35mg of caffeine per serving, the liquid concentrate is marketed as more of a health drink than one that will get you wired on caffeine. If you’re looking for a drink to give you the energy and nutrients for a workout, or any other aerobic activity, look no farther. If you want something to wake you up and get you wired though, you may want to look somewhere else.
FRS Powdered Drink Mix
Next in the lineup of the FRS Products is the diet orange powdered drink mix. The FRS trial comes with a box of 14 individual packets of the mix, and each packet makes one serving. Each packet of drink mix contains 35mg of caffeine, and they suggest you take 1-2 servings of the drink 30-60 minutes before your workout. While not high in caffeine content, the moderate dosage will help in aerobic activities like running if taken during the recommended time before. The box suggests you mix one packet with 8oz of water, but I normally just pour a packet in a water bottle and shake it up. The powder itself doesn’t smell that great, it has an orange-yellow color similar to the chews, and it looks a lot like Sunny-D. Once the powder’s been mixed in the water, it doesn’t smell as bad. As for the taste, it’s quite good; especially for a sugar free drink. Like the packaging suggests, it’s orange flavored, and while it’s a tad bitter, it tastes a lot like Sunny-D too. As with any health/energy drink, the FRS diet orange drink mix comes with your favorite vitamins, such as Vitamins A, C, E, B6, and B12. It also comes with 250mg of the anti-oxidant Quercetin. Overall, I’d say the FRS Drink Mix is worth it, it gives a sufficient boost for strenuous activities, and for free, it’s certainly worth a try!
FRS Lemon Lime Energy Chews
Today we’ll start off with the first of four FRS Healthy Energy Products, the Energy Chews. The chews come in a resalable bag of 30, and each chew is individually wrapped. With 20mg of caffeine per piece, these energy chews are obviously weaker than the Buzz Bites, but the FRS products are marketed as energy for workouts ad exercise, not for high caffeine content. Nevertheless, these chews contain caffeine and deserve a spot on CaffeineGuru. When I opened the bag of these chews, an amazing aroma of lemon-lime overcame me. The actual smell of the chew alone is a little less ambrosial, but it still isn’t bad. The taste of the chew is a little weaker than the smell, a tad sour (form the caffeine and vitamins), with a hint of lemon-lime, and the texture is a little on the gritty side. Overall, it isn’t bad though, while the caffeine content is low, it still provides a small kick, and claims to provide essential nutrients such as quercitin and vitamins B1, B2, B3, B6, B12, C and E. The small size of the chews makes it easy and convenient to get a boost of energy on the go, or for a workout. If you’re interested, you can get them and the other FRS products for free (well almost free, as there’s a shipping charge) here
and try them out for yourself.
FRS Healthy Energy
Recently I’ve seen a lot of online ads for FRS Healthy Energy, including the one on CaffeineGuru. With all of their marketing appearing suddenly, I’ve decided to check it out. FRS is currently offering a free trial (+S&H), so you can try their products for a few dollars (from the S&H). Their sample package arrived a few days ago, and I’ll start reviewing it soon. From what I know so far, FRS is more of an energy boost for workouts and physical activities, and less for just waking up like many other drinks out there. I also know it’s endorsed by Lance Armstrong, so I’ll be looking forward to these four products!
Update: I’ve reviewed them all now! Check out the reviews for the: chews, powdered mix, drink concentrate, and the ready to drink energy drink.
