Wake Up Water Energy Drink Mix, Sugar Free Clean Energy Powder with Electrolytes & B Vitamins, Natural Caffeine for Focus & Hydration (15 Pack) - Variety

I just finished trying all five flavors in the variety pack, and I have to say I'm genuinely impressed. Before writing this review, I wanted to see what others were experiencing, and I was surprised to find quite a few low ratings. Since my experience was so positive, I dug deeper into those one and two-star reviews to see if I missed something. Most of the negative feedback focused on taste, describing it as awful – which honestly doesn't match my experience at all. What I found interesting is that the majority of these poor reviews are from 2024, while the recent five-star reviews align much more closely with what I experienced. This makes me think the company may have reformulated based on customer feedback, which would explain the discrepancy. My Experience: Quality & Mixability: This really does feel like a premium product. The powder dissolves completely and smoothly – no clumps or floating bits that you get with cheaper alternatives. Following the directions (one packet in 8oz water), it took about 60 seconds of occasional shaking to fully dissolve into a smooth, cloudy drink. Ingredients: I appreciate that they've kept the ingredient list clean without a bunch of artificial fillers and questionable additives that you see in many energy drinks. No artificial colors, which explains why the drinks have a more natural, cloudy appearance rather than those bright neon colors you get with cheaper alternatives. The sweetness comes from natural sweeteners rather than being loaded with sugar, which I prefer since it doesn't cause that sugar crash later and fits into my no sugar/low carb lifestyle. Functionality: This works exactly as advertised as a convenient energy solution. The single-serve packets are perfect for travel or keeping in your gym bag, it's also much more convenient than carrying around bulky energy drinks or trying to measure out powder from a large container. Taste: The flavors are bold, sweet, and actually taste like the fruits they're supposed to represent. My favorite is a tossup between the Mango and the Coconut. I've tried plenty of other powdered drinks that have that artificial, chemical aftertaste, but these don't have that issue at all. Energy Effects: I'm someone who typically crashes around midnight, but I had a packet around 8pm while doing late-night work and stayed focused and alert until 3:30am without even realizing how much time had passed. The energy boost felt clean and sustained rather than jittery. Unlike some caffeine products that give you that anxious, wired feeling, this provided steady focus without the unpleasant side effects. Oh and not to mention, I didn't have that coffee breath afterword either. The Bottom Line: My only real complaint is the price point. At $24 for a variety pack ($1.60 per serving), it's definitely on the higher end. I'd be more comfortable around $15 per pack, but I understand you're paying for quality ingredients and packaging. The positives definitely outweigh the cost concern for me – great taste, clean energy, excellent mixability, thoughtful packaging design, and clean ingredients. Based on my testing, this is likely becoming a regular purchase for me.

This has quickly become one of my favorite morning and pre-workout drinks. My favorite flavor being coconut and mango. I loved that it kept me hydrated while also giving me a boost of energy. After drinking it, I felt energized and ready to take on my workout. It’s a great option if you want something hydrating that also helps you feel more prepared and motivated to exercise. Will definitely order this again!

Not my favorite.

The flavors were good, minus the coconut as I do not like coconut flavor. The energy was there and seemed to be a clean non jittery energy

I’ve tried all of the Wake Up Water flavors, and I genuinely enjoyed every one of them—especially lemon. The flavor is refreshing and not overly sweet, which makes it easy to drink throughout the day. What stood out most to me was the energy boost. Unlike other caffeinated drinks, Wake Up Water gave me steady energy and focus without leaving me feeling jittery or crashing later. It’s become my go-to drink when I need a little extra boost without the downsides of traditional energy drinks.
