XS Energy - Cranberry Grape Blast (Caffeine Free)
So far I have been impressed with the XS Energy Drink line. Last month I was able to review the Cola Blast and the Tea Berry Blast flavors. There has been one consensus so far among the drinks, they are all sugar free, low carb and have very few calories. Well today I will review the Cranberry Grape Blast energy drink. The only difference between this and the others I have reviewed so far is that this one has no caffeine. The XS Cranberry Grape comes still comes in a sleek 8.4 ounce can, has no sugar, zero carbs and only has 8 calories. Let's see how it fairs in the review.
XS Energy - Cranberry Grape Blast (Caffeine Free): Taste
Well as it was with the other XS beverages that I have reviewed, the name on the can basically states what kind of flavor you are going to get. You get a lightly carbonated cranberry grape flavor. The grape flavor seems to be more prevalent than the cranberry. Since there is no sugar XS uses artificial sweeteners (acesulfame potassium & sucralose). In my opinion this does not affect the taste very much at all. As far as affecting your health I will leave that up to the medical field. Overall the cranberry grape flavored XS is a great tasting drink - Taste Rating - 8.6
XS Energy - Cranberry Grape Blast (Caffeine Free): Kick
As I stated in the intro, this drink has no caffeine. Why is it still an energy drink then? It still has Taurine (though I am not sure how much) and Plenty of B-Vitamins. Here are the the percentage daily allowances of the various B-Vitamins in this drink: B-12 4900%, B-6 300%, B-5 100%, B-3 100%. So basically the energy derived from this drink seems to come from B-Vitamins which is not bad if you are not a big caffeine nut. However, the absence of caffeine made the comparison of this drink to others a little harder. It does not give off as good as a kick as the other XS drinks (or other caffeine energy drinks in general). However, this drink becomes a viable alternative for those looking for energy drinks without caffeine. It also becomes a viable alternative for those looking for a natural boost before working out. Regardless the kick was less than what I am used to. Kick Rating 7.0
XS Energy - Cranberry Grape Blast (Caffeine Free): Final Judgment
The kick is not that great as there is no caffeine but the taste is pretty good. If you are looking for a pick me up or a nice little kick without caffeine I recommend you give this one a try. Final Judgment - 7.5

Although xs may not give you a fast high resulting in a hard low from your pancrease reacting to the sugar intake from other drinks.
You do get a steady boost for about six hours depending on the person mostly resulting from the b vitimans. most prople just want a steady boost the get through the afternoon, not skyrocketed thruogh the ceiling and slammed done into the basement before they even make it to the time clock. XS is the healthest and best tasting energy drink I've seen. Plus they didn't just stop at energy drinks. Check it out www.holenterprises.com
A drink that left me going to early sleep,no kik at all,taste would be ok,but the sugar substituet is just awful and no caffeine made this drink a waste of money!!!
Xs is an health consious energy drink, i meant to provide a steady energy kick with out the sugar, carbs or high calorias, also the vitamins comes from plant compounds, the intent is to deliver high quality and energy as closes to the natural way, but ofcourse no one can say is all natural but the intent and results are pretty good. im a XS distributor and is a hit specially to gyms, soldiers and smoothy bars, because it provides an alternative different to the other energy drinks in the market. Also night clubs can get the blast energy syrup to mix with other drinks, is a way to get a share of the huge energy drink industry, with something exclusive.
The nice thing with the caffeine free XS is that pregnant women can drink it AND the B-Vitamins help with morning sickness too (verifed by a doctor and several pharmacists). I have friends who have drank XS caffeine free in lue of taking medication for morning sickness (those pills are pretty much straight B vitamins anyway).
