XO 2 Diet Energy Drink Review
Well this is my fourth of seven XO Energy Drink reviews. My previous reviews include; XO + Vanilla, XO2 Original and XO Citrus. All three have performed quite strong so far in my reviews. The taste palates have been unique and the convenience factor (small package that you can drink at room temperature) is a plus. So today I think I will try out the XO 2 Diet Energy Drink that comes in a small, portable 180 milliliter (6 ounce) shot that you can slam quite quickly. The XO2 Diet diet version only has 15 calories compared to the normal 110 calories found in the others. Enough fluff and onto the review!

XO 2 Diet Energy Drink Review: Taste
So this is supposed to be a less sweet version of the XO2 Original. Again as I have with the other XO Energy Drinks, I opted to use this one after work on the way to the gym. So I had the drink sitting in my car all day, which probably brought the temperature of the drink to about 75-80 degrees, which is a little higher than room temperature. However, the drink still went down quite smooth. The temperature of the drink did not affect the taste at all. The flavor is less sweet than the original but it still has a nice mix fruit type flavor. Overall, pretty similar to the XO2 original, only difference seems to be that it is slightly less sweet and has 95 less calories. Taste Rating - 8.7

XO 2 Diet Energy Drink Review: Kick
All 3 of the last XO's that I reviewed packed a pretty good kick. However, with this diet XO, calories were cut meaning the carbs were removed from the drink. There are still plenty of energy ingredients in the diet version including; 47 milligrams of caffeine, 800 milligrams of taurine and 2mg of B6. But without the 26 grams of carbs the kick did not seem to be on the same level as the others. Don't get me wrong, you could feel the energy, it just did not seem to have as much kick as the XO beverages that I tried in the past. Kick Rating - 8.5

XO 2 Diet Energy Drink Review: Final Judgment
So the taste is still a pleasant mix fruit flavor that is only slightly less sweet than the original. The kick did not seem to be as effective as the three prior, non diet, XO's but it still got the job done. This is where you have to choose a trade off between diet and regular XO. The diet has slightly less kick for 95 less calories. This would actually be my choice. Heck it would save me 5-10 minutes of cardio at the gym! Final Judgment - 8.6
