ZOA Zero Sugar Energy Drinks, Tropical Punch - Sugar Free with Electrolytes, Healthy Vitamin C, Amino Acids, Essential B-Vitamins, and Caffeine from Green Tea - 16 Fl Oz (12-Pack)

I'll be the first to admit - I've had a hard time with sugar free energy drinks as they usually have a terrible aftertaste.I've now had two different flavors: Green Apple and Pineapple Coconut and both were consistent. The taste was great and I found the energy drink to give me "clean energy" as I was feeling a good buzz but didn't have any jitters or a "crash" after a couple of hours. This likely due to the natural ingredients/sweetners.After trying pretty much every sugar-free energy drink brand, this is definitely the best sugar free energy drink I've had. Everyone needs to give it a try!

This is actually the first energy drink I have been able to enjoy. Other brands disturb my stomach almost immediately (I get a 'punch' - for lack of a better word - sensation with the first swallow.) I love all of the flavors in this variety pack. To me, they taste like flavored colas. At last!!

First off, I am sensitive to most energy drinks these days (i.e., monster, rockstar, bang, reign, etc.), and most of those have given me bad anxiety or panic attacks likely due to the ingredients and high level of caffeine (300mg). I was hesitant to want to try ZOA as i assumed it would be like any other energy drink I’ve had.My findings:Caffeine: it’s perfectly tolerable for me. The green tea coffee and green tea extract total out with “natural caffeine” at 160mg. The caffeine in here appears to be naturally sourced which metabolizes differently then normal lab (synthetic) produced high content caffeine like other major brands (which usually causes jitters, shakes, anxiety etc.) The synthetic caffeine also tends to give you a faster caffeine rush vs the more natural caffeine which is why you experience a crash.I’ve found it to be a perfect mid-day pick-me-up, a perfect pre workout or even a good post workout to get you back on your feet after being tired. Best of all, i don’t experience a “crash” like I do on many other energy drinks. I don’t get the shakes, “rush” or crazy side effects I’ve felt with other energy drinks. This seems to be just the perfect amount of ingredients to be tolerable and also doesn’t include the things like ginseng, taurine and other junk. Zoa has the good balance of vitamins, the camu camu and turmeric extract.Sugar: if you want to keep it simple then get the sugar version with normal sugar and it will keep you fuller, but then yes there is the sugar aspect to it. I prefer to stick to the artificial sweeteners and I’m personally okay with sucrolose but yes ace-k has been linked to its issues (cancer, Brian function, etc.). Personally if you are drinking energy drinks in the first place you can’t expect to have every ingredient be healthy anyway - i don’t think that’s reasonable with any energy drink. But the taste from the regular sugar and artificial sweeteners are great. I have nothing bad to say about them. It’s not stevia or monk fruit but at the end of the day they are all just sweetners.Flavors: I’d rank them in this order: Pineapple Coconut, Tropical Punch, Orange, White Peach, Super Berry. I don’t care for original or lemon lime. But the first five… absolutely love them (I’m sure my picture of my fridge speaks for itself lol). Flavors are delicious and taste just as they are described. Some don’t like the flavor likely due to the sweetners, but they taste even better with regular sugar version.Overall, ZOA is awesome IMO. Definitely recommend trying it if you’ve been hesitant.

When I bought these I was doing the 75 hard challenge. These are great flavor but after a while you get tired of the same flavor. Overall I would buy these again but not a big pack.

This is a great product for me. Not overly caffeinated. Good flavors. Not too many additives. No calories. Recommend.

First off, I just want to say that I don't usually go out of my way to post reviews about anything but if I feel like it's something that deserves more recognition then I will go out of my way to do it. I like to go in depth with my reviews so I don't leave out any details so if that's the kind of review you're looking for, then this is for you :)MY BACKSTORY: Basically, my first job was picking up a lot more hours than usual so I hopped on the "energy drink" train and started going through a bunch of clean, zero energy waters, teas, etc. from a bunch of brands. At some point, I had to pick up a 2nd job to help support my family in which I was working from 7am to 3pm and then heading over to my other job from 4pm to 11pm (For 3 months: 6 out of the 7 days). One of my coworkers was bringing some of his own energy drinks and he had eventually put me on the more popular energy drink brands. We would buy in bulk from different brands so it's safe to say that we've drank a LOT and that we're pretty acclimated with energy drinks. We did maintain the caffeine by watering it down and eating properly unlike most people*** I personally bought through Amazon just because I personally like the fast shipping aspect from Amazon. I would say that I pretty much drank from most brands that Amazon had to offer and tried every flavor. I was on the search to find the perfect one for me and that's when I found ZOA.MY ZOA REVIEW: As I was looking for healthier alternatives with better flavors and no crash, I finally stowed upon ZOA. I started off with buying the variety pack and the going off to buy everything that the site had to offer. After several months, I have to say that this is by far the best drink I've ever had in terms of value, flavor, vitamins and having no crash. That 160mg of caffeine/can size is perfect as its not too much and not too little, compared to most brands that have 200mg with no vitamins in them. I was pretty skeptical at first seeing that Dwayne was one of the cofounders, as seeing other celebrities drinks didn't turn out so well but I was proven wrong! ZOA is simply my favorite energy drink now with that perfect amount of 160mg of caffeine, the vitamins it offers, the price range of $20+ for a pack and all the great flavors it has to offer! My personal favorite is the tropical punch! If you took the time to read this, thank you!
