Red Bull Winter Edition (2026): Pistachio and Berries (sugar free)
October 4th, 2026Very unusual! It’s definitely got a nutty taste to it, no doubt that the pistachio flavour is in there, but combined with the berries it has a contrasting sweetness to it. This is certainly quite different to most Red Bull flavours and you’d be hard pressed to identify it as a Red Bull branded product to be honest. It’s nice, I probably wouldn’t buy it again though although I did have to get a multi-pack of 4 because that’s all that was available in Morrisons!

Huel Cherry & Raspberry
October 3rd, 2026Oh I loved this one! So smooth, fruity and moreish that I’d drunk the can before I’d realised I hadn’t paced myself. Yes, be careful! One of my favourite drinks in a long time and you can really taste both the cherry and raspberry working well together in combination.

Sneak Energy Sour Apple
September 26th, 2026I have loved all of the other Sneak Energy drinks I’ve tried, but this is the only one I’m not keen on. The apple flavour is quite sharp and maybe the reason I don’t like it is because it’s perhaps closer to the actual flavour of apple?! I don’t know, maybe you’ll like it better if you’re a fan of apple drinks.
Sneak Energy Strawberry Punch
September 19th, 2026Well I very much liked this! Strawberry drinks are in no way refreshing but this one does taste amazing! Strawberry punch, so strawberry and other unknown fruits thrown in the mix I guess, but you can definitely taste the strawberry! I’d get this again for sure!

Monster Energy Nitro Blue Flash
September 3rd, 2026I’ve seen this particular new flavour getting a lot of attention on social media in the UK in recent weeks so I had to grab a can as soon as I saw it to find out what all the fuss is about. It’s using carbonated and nitrogenated water as a base which supposedly gives it a “smooth, creamy texture”. I guess that’s true, the bubbles don’t feel as sharp as pure carbonated water so if you like that then you might like this! The flavour though, well, it’s just a blue raspberry energy drink. It’s nice enough, extremely sweet with no background ‘Monster’ taste which I guess is possibly masked by the very strong blue raspberry flavour of this drink.

Toxic Waste Energy: Watermelon Sour
August 8th, 2026I mean, sour is not really the right word for it. It’s just a tangy watermelon flavoured drink but with premium branding on the can. This is the second Toxic Waste drink, the first one was the Blue Raspberry one, and whilst this is a nice tasting drink it sadly doesn’t meet the sourness expectation just like that other flavour.

Huel Vitamin Drink: Blue Raspberry
July 25th, 2026What 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, 2026Sneak 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, 2026This 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.
