Huel Vitamin Drink: Blue Raspberry

July 25th, 2026

What an unusual taste! Normally when you try a blue raspberry drink you end up with the ultra artificial freeze-pop flavour that we all know and love. But, this Huel drink has something a bit more cakey about it. And by cake I actually mean the baked sponge cake taste. I’d say this drink is more like a blueberry muffin than blue raspberry, perhaps it’s because of the real raspberry juice in the ingredients? After drinking this I almost felt like I’d eaten a fruity muffin or doughnut, it’s an odd sensation. A nice taste, just odd and unexpected is all!

Sneak Energy Blizzard Lemonade

July 18th, 2026

Sneak has been popping up on my social media feeds for a few years, originally because they made a mix-yourself energy drink powder product. They have expanded into actual cans now and this is the first one of their products of any type that I’ve tried. It’s a nice lemonade, on the sharp side but very moreish and refreshing. I’m now quite keen to try tleirother flavours if I can find them…

Huel Vitamin Drink: Pineapple & Mango

July 11th, 2026

This is about as fruity as an energy drink gets I reckon. From the company that brought you the concept of “Fed up with nice food? Just drink our rebranded gruel instead…” comes their own branded healthy-sounding energy drinks. To be fair to them, it does contain grape, pineapple and mango juice as the second biggest ingredient after water so it isn’t as unhealthy as most energy drinks. This is a tropical flavoured drink though, and not a bad one at all really. If it wasn’t for the high price I would certainly be up for trying this again.

Monster Energy Ultra Punk Punch

June 13th, 2026

This is essentially quite a light tasting tropical energy drink. It’s slightly tangy, much less full-on in taste than their original Ripper flavour. It’s not too sweet, but also a bit meh overall, sorry to disappoint! Ok as a one off, I probably wouldn’t rush to get it again, not because it’s bad, just because it’s nothing unique or new.

Frugo Energy Watermelon and Strawberry

May 16th, 2026

Pretty nice! You can taste the watermelon, but it’s subtly against the much stronger strawberry. Sweet, no bitterness at all, and smooth. I’d be happy getting this one again that’s for sure but it is on the lower side of strength in terms of caffeine content.

X Energy Drink Sugar Free

March 7th, 2026

Pick a letter, X will do, that looks cool, and stick the words “Energy Drink” after it. That’s a winning brand name of course! The drink is a clone of course, but a very light and delicate one. It’s carbonated, but there wasn’t much of a hiss when I opened the can and the carbonation is very slight. The flavour isn’t strong, but it is quite nice and sweet. Worth a try for certain, but it might not become a staple of your diet! (which reminds me, it’s low calorie too!)

FruttaMax Thunder Max Energy Drink Syrup Original Zero

February 21st, 2026

This is another concentrated energy drink for use with SodaStream machine and is the sugar-free version of the already lower-than-normal in calories full fat version I reviewed previously. Make it up in a ratio of 1:23 with fizzy water and you should get an energy drink with 32mg/100ml. Compared to the full fat version, this version is slightly tangy in flavour, slightly more sour, but still a very nice bog standard energy drink – refreshing and drinkable!

Celsius Live Fit Fantasy Vibe Orange

November 29th, 2025

Another extremely caffeinated Celsius drink, this one inexplicably named “Fantasy Vibe” for what is an orange flavoured drink. It’s actually a really nice and refreshing orange drink, not too sweet or tart, just about right! This is possibly one of my favourite “Live Fit” varieties that they’ve released.

Body Fuel Ultimate Pre-Workout: Frozen Popsicle

November 22nd, 2025

A massively potent blue raspberry drink! The flavour is strong and the caffeine is strong so be cautious and limit yourself to no more than one can (of this and anything else!) in a day. It’s refreshing and sweet so great for a warm summer’s day.
