Frugo Energy Mango

May 23rd, 2026

It’s a nice smooth tropical flavoured drink in some crazy cool artwork-laden can. A bit expensive for what it is – it’s certainly not premium tasting, but there’s nothing wrong with it other than it being a bit lower in caffeine content than most other brands.

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.

Body Fuel Ultimate Pre-Workout: Strawberry Lemonade

November 15th, 2025

Extremely moreish! But be warned, this is packed full of caffeine so drink slowly and make sure you have no other caffeine in the same day because this is a pre-workout drink which is the equivalent of over two cans of Red Bull. It’s a great mixture of lemon and strawberry and very refreshing.

SCI-MX Xplode: Atomic Passion

November 1st, 2025

I have absolutely no idea what flavour this is! There’s a slight tang to it, maybe a bit tropical – I would guess from the name that it might be passion fruit but I’m not certain that’s the main flavour. It doesn’t matter anyway because it’s actually a really nice and refreshing fruity drink! As with other pre-workout drinks, drink with caution because it’s very high in caffeine.

SCI-MX Xplode: Original

October 4th, 2025

There’s a new category of energy drinks popping up in shops recently: the pre-workout drinks. These are usually 330ml cans with extra high caffeine content of around 200mg. You’ve got to be careful drinking these – please consume carefully or if you’re particularly sensitive to caffeine then avoid and go for one of the regular energy drinks. This particular drink is from SCI-MX, the sports nutrition brand who mostly make protein supplements and similar products so I guess a pre-workout drink is on-brand. The original flavour I’m trying here is unusual – I was expecting some sort of Red Bull clone but what I actually got was a tangy sour fruit drink, possibly passion fruit? There’s no clue on the can as to the flavour but it’s certainly an interesting choice for the ‘original’ variety. Also in this can is 3g of citrulline malate… and yes, I’m Googling that right now… one second reader. Oh, ok… it’s some sort of pre-workout supplement that delays the on-set of muscle fatigue. So I guess if you’re about to run a marathon then it could be useful – I’m sure if you’re already serious about supplements in your training plan then you’ll already be taking this, so if you are then make sure you’ve considered that this drink already contains one of your doses.
