The Best Tasting Energy Drink: Which One Ranked Highest?

The Best Tasting Energy Drink: Which One Ranked Highest?

Energy drinks seem to be as ubiquitous as oxygen these days. According to Grand View Research, the global energy drink market was valued at $43 billion in 2016, and is expected to skyrocket to a whopping $85 billion by 2025.

However, as popular as these super-drinks are, there is one common complaint that consumers face when making the decision to rely on an energy drink for a little pick-me-up: the taste.

If you’ve ever had one—and chances are that you have—you know exactly what we’re talking about: chemical cocktails with synthetic ingredients and nebulous flavor names like “arctic surge” or “morning blast” that just taste downright awful.

And to make matters worse, some leading energy drink manufacturers dump sugar and/or artificial sweeteners into their recipes to try and mask the bitter taste of artificial Caffeine and other chemical additives, but this just creates a magnitude of potential health problems—yikes!

The good news is that there are some energy drinks out there that actually don’t taste too bad (and are not too bad for your body either). If you’re interested in saving your taste buds from a disappointing energy beverage, keep reading!

Proper Wild’s Clean Energy Shots

Proper Wild’s Energy Shots are quite unusual in that they taste great, don’t use artificial sweeteners, AND can boast no sugar added - which is not only a feat in the energy drink realm, but in the realm of American food and drink products as a whole!

So, without that extra sugar so many of us are used to, where does the delicious flavor come from? Well, believe it or not, the only thing sweetening these 100% plant-based energy shots is real fruit juice!

CEO Vincent Bradley and the rest of the team at Proper Wild feel passionately about perfecting an energy drink with transparent, healthier ingredients that work. Instead of drinks packed with artificial Caffeine and a host of other artificial ingredients, Proper Wild’s team sought functional benefits from clean components like the amino acid L-Theanine and Organic Caffeine from green tea, along with antioxidant-rich fruits such as blackberries.

Which Flavor Tastes The Best?

We’ve had our fair share of just about every popular energy drink and shot on the market, and it’s safe to say that the taste of these other options just really doesn’t do it for us.

Very few energy drinks taste “natural”, but the taste of Proper Wild’s three flavors, however, actually match the respective labels. Like we mentioned earlier, natural and organic fruit juices are the source of the flavors in these shots, so it’s no wonder they taste so natural and clean!

These energy shots are the real deal, but which one tastes the best? All three are pretty popular, so a ranking really just comes down to personal preference.

 

Blackberry

The Blackberry Proper Wild energy shot is full of bold flavors from organic blackberry juice, as well as pineapple juice and organic lemon juices. Tart and subtly sweet with a hint of pineapple, this is a blend of unique and fresh ingredients that’s full of flavor.

Blackberries are incredibly nutritious fruits with tons of health benefits. They are an amazing source of Vitamin C, which supports your immune system to keep you feeling healthy. Blackberries are also one of the most antioxidant-packed fruits in the world and are deemed beneficial to almost every system of the body as they work to serve a protective role for all of your cells.

Recent studies have shown that blackberries can also help improve memory. The combination of Caffeine and L-Theanine in these shots boosts mental clarity as well, and supports overall cognitive functioning. This tasty little shot is truly brain food in a bottle!

 

Peach Mango

This tropical delight will please even the pickiest of people. Other peach or mango drinks on the market are usually packed with added sugar, with some energy drinks having up to 60g of sugar in a single can - more than most sodas!

With such a tropical tasty flavor, it’s hard to believe that only sugar in this shot comes from the real fruit ingredients: organic mango and organic peach juices; this pairing is as naturally delicious as it gets!

Although the Caffeine is naturally bitter, this drink has just enough sweetness to it. A touch of lemon rounds out the bold flavor; perfect for waking you up in the morning! You can even use it as a tasty addition to a tropical protein smoothie to help jump start your day.

Both peaches and mangos are beneficial to your skin, too. They are also known to improve eyesight and help maintain healthy levels of cholesterol. Peaches in particular sneak in a lot of sweet, bold flavor, despite being low in carbohydrates.

 

Ginger

Ginger is a root with incredible properties. It is the most aromatic ingredient used in any of the  Proper Wild shots by far, and offers a bit of fresh spice on the tongue. Ginger has been used in holistic medical practices for many generations and is known to support digestive health, immune function, and contribute a host of other health benefits.

For anyone that enjoys green tea with ginger, this shot is a great variation on that classic flavor profile! The spice is not overpowering (as it sometimes is in a traditional ginger shot), and while the Caffeine is naturally bitter, the organic white grape juice used provides just enough sweetness to balance out the drink.

Caffeine causes the body to release adrenaline and increases heart rate. Ginger’s knack for supporting cardiovascular health makes it a great addition to a caffeinated drink as well.

This shot’s combination of organic Caffeine, L-Theanine, and organic ginger juice will give you that (tasty) focused energy that you’re looking for — or Proper Wild will give you your money back (guaranteed!)

Conclusion

Energy drinks can provide you with a quick boost of energy any time you need it. They are an awesome alternative to coffee, and many beverages contain healthy ingredients that may improve focus and memory.

However, regardless of how popular these powerful drinks are, the truth is that they all tend to taste less than ideal! And it’s easy to see why - many leading energy drinks are packed to the brim with synthetic ingredients and artificial flavors.

If you’ve been searching for an energy drink that works great and also tastes natural and delicious, check out Proper Wild. These tiny shots pack a powerful punch and use only clean ingredients. They’re vegan, gluten-free, GMO-free, dairy-free, soy-free, and only rely on the natural sweetness of fruit juices to provide a clean-tasting energy drink that is not only effective, but delicious too!
