Whey Up Protein Energy Drink Review
Last month I heard about a new breed of energy drink called Whey Up Protein Energy Drink. I was pretty excited as this drink contains 22 grams of protein, only one carb and it has a proprietary energy blend of caffeine, taurine and B-Vitamins. Why was I excited? Well I work out daily, so about an hour before my workout I would consume a protein drink and then about 30 minutes prior to a workout I would consume an energy drink. Well with the Whey Up Protein Energy Drink there is no need to do this. Now I can get my protein and energy in one 16 ounce canned drink.

Whey Up Protein Energy Drink Review: Taste
Well first off I was a little concerned with how the drink might taste. As some of you who have tried protein shakes know, they are not always the best tasting. Fortunately for me Whey Up came in a pretty good tasting berry flavor. It was not thick lick a normal protein drink, but it was a little thicker than a normal energy drink. Whey Up is also non carbonated, meaning that you are not going to have trouble keeping it down when doing an intense workout. Combine all this with the fact that it has only 90 calories and we have ourselves a very unique energy drink that tastes good and is well suited for a workout. Since Whey Up tasted so much better than what I expected and since it tastes better than pretty much all protein shakes that I have tried I am going to give it a taste rating of 8.6.

Whey Up Protein Energy Drink Review: Kick
The berry taste is good, but how about the kick? Well by combining caffeine, taurine and a plethora of B-Vitamins the Whey Up Protein Energy Drink kept me energized throughout my entire workout. I even had enough energy after lifting to do 20 minutes of cardio, which I usually dread doing. There is 150 milligrams of caffeine in the Whey UP Protein Energy Drink. This is not a ton of caffeine which is actually a good thing when looking for a energy drink to workout with. Too much caffeine before or during a workout can lead to cramps and dehydration. I experienced neither before, after or during my workout. Overall I was very impressed with the effects of this beverage. I would highly recommend this for use during a workout! Kick Rating - 9.0.

Whey Up Protein Energy Drink Review: Final Judgment
I was more than pleased with this drink. It had a good berry taste and it kept me energized throughout my entire workout. Is there anything I did not like about this drink? Sure there are a couple things that I wish Whey Up would have done. First I wish that this was available in my area. Currently it seems to only be available in the Hi-Health World of Nutrition stores in Arizona. The second thing that Whey Up couldd do is make another one of these for a post workout drink. Add extra carbs a little more protein, a hint of creatine and some anti-oxidants and keep the energy blend and you got yourself a pretty good post workout drink (just not sure how it would taste)! Overall I applaud the inventor, Erik Rothchild, for filling a void in the workout energy drink market by creating this great drink! I hope he can increase distribution or at least make it available for purchase online. Final Judgment - 9.5 (extra points for thinking outside the box!)
