Everly Fruit Punch Energy Drink Mix Powder - Sugar-Free, Keto-Friendly, Organic Caffeine, Natural Sweeteners, Electrolytes & B-Vitamins - Water Flavor Enhancer, 20 Servings Pouch

My stomach can no longer handle coffee or tea all day long, but between workouts and lunch comas, I really like (need?) to have caffeine throughout the day to help me stay upbeat and productive. Long before giving up on coffee, I tried stevia as a sweetener to reduce my sugar intake and I hated it. I couldn't switch and threw out the tub I had bought. But that experience prepared me for these drink mixes.Just as synthetic artificial sweeteners aren't as tasty as sugar, stevia isn't as good-tasting as those artificial sweeteners. Like a lot of healthy choices, this one is a bit of a sacrifice and I can totally understand the negative reviews. Stevia is not some magic replacement for sugar. It has its own flavor. Each of these are essentially stevia flavor WITH other flavors. There's no getting around it.But with all that said, I've gotten over my aversion to stevia and now survive on this stuff—and I'm very glad it exists. I overcome the packaging (which truly is a pain) by emptying a packet into a squeeze bottle (B00VREUEFE) using a funnel (and I do this OUTSIDE), and then filling the bottle with very hot filtered water and shaking. Once cool, I put it in the fridge, where I also keep cold, filtered water in a big jug. When I want a drink of the stuff, I fill up an insulated bottle (B078SH53ZS) with cold water, and add some of the mix concentrate, counting to five-one-thousand. And bam, I'm caffeinating again without artificial sweeteners!I do wish they would offer more flavors. Watermelon, strawberry-kiwi, would be nice. I'm not into lemonade, so I haven't tried that one. The Pomegranate flavor reminds me of Robitussin circa 1982, so I haven't gotten that more than once. The Fruit Tea tastes a lot like the Fruit Punch but with a little tea flavor and graininess. There was a small amount of a very fine sediment when I mixed up that bottle. I didn't get it again, either.So I stick with Peach Mango and Fruit Punch, with Peach Mango being my favorite. I probably drink three Peach Mangos for every Fruit Punch. But that's just my preference. One last thing to note with the Peach Mango is that the dye leaves behind a permanent residue on my clear squeeze bottles (Fruit Punch and the other flavors do not.) The company says the dyes are all-natural, but the stain is impossible to wash off, so it seemed worth noting.If you've read this far, just imagine each of these are labeled as 'Stevia Flavor with Peach Mango,' or 'Stevia Flavor with Fruit Punch,' etc. (and know what stevia tastes like) and your expectations will be set a little more realistically. This ain't Gatorade, but it is consumable caffeine without artificial sweeteners.

As others have mentioned, I too was looking for an alternative to spark. This is a great substitution. Although, I have to admit, it doesn't taste quite as good. But it does give me the same effect as spark for half the price and more servings than I would normally get. The packaging is slightly messy, but I appreciate that they keep the cost down and I assume that is part of how they do that. And also it's a little hard to measure because of the packaging. But that doesn't personally bother me too much. I just measure the powder out in a measuring teaspoon and use a shaker bottle (It's hard to measure in a teaspoon and then put into a regular water bottle--but if you wanted to you could make a homemade funnel to make that easier). Those are my only complaints. But for the price I will definitely be repurchasing.

I line that it does give more energy and it mixes in well but there’s still a distinct bitterness from the caffeine that the flavor doesn’t quite mask

Only flavor that’s good is BERRY …. Rest are yuck but I do mix the BERRY energy (caffeine) with BERRY HYDRATION (no caffeine) bc they are better together although I would be happy with just zero caffeine. I wish the company would use ALLULOSE not Stevia bc STEVIA always has a weird aftertaste. All sugar subs spike your insulin like sugar but not ALLULOSE as not a sugar or sugar man made sub. BETTER CHOICE IN almost FALL OF 2023. I wish they would supply a perfect caplike spoon … free to receive tommeasure their recommended amt. I find it best to use amt in approx 17 tall VOSS waters then secure cap and shake/ mix well. Then use empty identical VOSS bottle and pour half of forst bottle to just almost top of “O” in VOSS empty bottle. Add one can each LIME BUBLEY (zero carbs / sugars) and cap off rest of both bottles with more VOSS water. Refrig and delicious‼️ Equals GREAT ICED TEA as you like during year round major hydration drinkers in this home. Flavor is key and price is pretty HIGH should off the 4pack in one flavor TOO …. BERRY PLEASE‼️

Unfortunately Everly decided to make cheaper versions of their drink mixes and failed. Look, taste, smell, ingredient list etc are very different for the new versions that come in a pouch. Their original flavors are excellent and I'd go as far as say Pomegranate Maqui Berry is the best tasting drink I have ever had. The new Pomegranate Berry that comes in the pouch is nothing like it and I wouldn't buy it again. Fruit Punch is just awful even though I almost always like Fruit Punch flavored drinks. Strawberry Lemonade is mediocre at best, but I wouldn't buy it. The only flavor I may still buy is Peach Mango as it doesn't stray as far from the original and still tastes pretty good. I do like them providing Energy options for all flavors although don't care for the fact they doubled the amount of caffeine per serving compared to the original Peach Mango. I am also happy to buy in pouches if it lowers the cost. However, that doesn't matter much if 3 out of 4 flavors taste bad. I really hope Everly goes back to the original formulas.

I really like the flavor and the clean boost of energy it gives me after lunch. I used to drink Pureboost but then discovered this and the price is much better. I also like that I can add as much or as little, vs other single serve drink mixes (like Pureboost). I've only tried the Pomegranate Berry flavor and love it so haven't switched to any of the other flavors. I repurchase monthly!

I've been using these products for a few months. I don't drink caffeine much since I dont like coffee, yet I've drank most of the energy drink available. For some reason, I like the feeling I get. I dont feel the highs and the downs as much as rhe others, but I get a really good steady effect that I like.Being able to choose the amount of caffeine you add to water is also fine. I usually use 180mg /500ml of water (1.5x the standard dose)The pouch doesnt bother me so much as i can easily use a measuring spoon, and if it allows to keep the price as low as possible it's even better. At worse, just put it in a sealed container with a spoon in itFor the taste, I really like the peach mango and pomegranate berry. Sometimes I had a dash of lemon juice for a change. The taste is really "pure" so I understand people not liking it, but to me it's pretty good.The grape one taste to me like oasis juice and is find. The fruit punch tasted way to chemical and was not pleasant, but the sellers were kind enough to refund me.All in all, at 1-1.50$ per 500 ml, great taste on most of them, nice energy boost without a huge crash and a friendly seller, it will stay my go to caffeine drink

A great product by Everly. Good tasting, no nasties (artifical sweeteners) and not a bad price! Does what it says on the tin and tops up your energy levels... Only bad thing? Just leaves your mouth a little dry, so it encourages you to drink more water too!

I drink more caffeine than your average Bear. It's because I play (Rock) Bass. ALOT. Bass strings are heavy especially when not using a Pick.I cant drink coffee of any kind because of its caustic Acid and Red--ll was just too expensive.Since I've been using EVERLY all is good in the Universe. I mix 4 doses it in a large container, add a little pure Cranberry Juice and alot of H2O.Only the Lemonaide I didn't like. Also this review is for their "ENERGY" product (of currently they have 3 different products..)Also, all natural apparently. Very sweet but that means you use a little less or more H2O.Taste:1. Peach and Fruit Punch 5/52. Grape 4/53. Lemonaide -15x3)4/1200986 (ech...)

Very good taste, maybe a little too much sweet...

Odd taste? Maybe. Easily mixed and tastes fine. Loads of caffeine. Quite your complaining. -Update- Ok.. the Lemonade is repulsive. VERY. Try the Fruit Punch, my go to beverage next to H2O. Arrived on time and product was as described. Efficient packaging and easily transported. No digestive issues and effective. Third update... Peach is now my marginally favorite choice. Fruit Punch is great but the Lemonade.. ewww...
