Vitamin Water - Fruit Punch Energy Drink Review
Well I have been hearing quite a lot about the Vitamin Water Energy Line up from Glaceau so I thought it time to give it a review and compare it to the other Energy Drinks that I have reviewed. Now Glaceau has several different categories of products including the regular Vitamin Water (15 different flavors), smart water (which is enhanced with electrolytes), fruit water (4 different flavors) and vitamin energy (3 flavors). Although I would like to review all the different Vitamin Water products from Glaceau, I will be focusing on the energy lineup. So today I will be reviewing the 16 ounce Vitamin Energy Fruit Punch flavor. To me it looks likte Glaceau is focusing their products on the health conscious market which seems to be growing larger and larger everyday as society places more of an emphasis on health. So let's see how the Fruit Punch Vitamin Energy does in the taste and kick reviews.

Vitamin Water - Fruit Punch Energy Drink Review: Taste
First off I would like to say that you can find this stuff pretty much anywhere which is why I finally opted for a review of it. The fruit punch taste of this drink is actually quite refreshing, although slightly watered down. It is not as strong as some of the other fruit punch flavors that I have tried but the right blend of carbonation and light and crisp flavor actually tastes quite well and masks the energy ingredients quite well. I enjoyed the taste but I would just like to mention that there is 200 calories in this drink, which is not what I was expecting from a health conscious brand. All 200 calories of this beverage come from carbs. Sugar to be more precise. So let's hope that this does not affect the kick rating as sugar sometimes tends to make you crash. Overall though I was very pleased with the flavor and look forward to trying the two other Vitamin Energy flavors. Taste Rating - 8.8

Vitamin Water - Fruit Punch Energy Drink Review: Kick
The light and crisp fruit punch flavor gives you a refreshing flavor, but will the kick hold up to the competition. Well the energy ingredient list includes 150 milligrams of caffeine (natural caffeine), 2000 milligrams of taurine and a bunch of b-vitamins. So the list is not the most impressive. However, the kick was still quite impressive as it lasted several hours. And even though there is a bunch of sugar in this drink I did not experience any crash at all which might have to do with the fact that there are electrolytes present (magnesium lactate, calcium lactate ). Also the fact that there were electrolytes present and not a ton of caffeine made me believe this would be a great ED to use for a workout (although I did not try it). Kick Rating - 8.9

Vitamin Water - Fruit Punch Energy Drink Review: Final Judgment
Light crisp fruit punch taste and a relatively decent kick means this is the best drink I have had all year so far (all though it is the only!). My only complaint comes into play with the sugar content. If Glaceau could cut the sugar content of this Vitamin Energy then I would be very pleased and would definitely add this drink to my workout regimen. Maybe a sugar free ED is in the works? Regardless, this is a relatively good ED. The fact that you can get it pretty much anywhere is nice as well. Final Judgment - 8.8
