Go Girl Glo Energy Drink Review:
Well it has been awhile since I reviewed a product from the Go Girl Energy Drink lineup but it has not been so long since I have reviewed an Energy Drink that was not marketed towards me. It was actually my last review of the Cougar Energy Shot. I know what you are thinking, back to back reviews of drinks marketed towards the female demographic? No, I'm not losing it, I have just had these queued for review for quite some time. Anyways, back to the Go Girl Glo Energy Drink, which by the way is supposed to "Promote Healthy Skin" according to the 12 ounce slim can. Now it doesn't say what will specifically do this for me, but my best guess would be the 10 milligrams of Aloe Vera, which by the way doesn't sound too tasty. Anyways enough fluff, let's see how this Go Girl Glo energy drink for women performs in the taste and kick category (according to this male reviewer!).

Go Girl Glo Energy Drink Review: Taste
Well this all natural 12 ounce energy drink has 35 calories (no artificial sweeteners) and about 8 grams of sugar which is way less than the typical 50+ grams of sugar. The can itself describes the drink as being "derived from a refreshing combination of pomegranate and star fruit." I have never had star fruit so I can not attest to Go Girl Glo tasting like it, but I can say I am not a big fan of the taste. Although it is light and pretty refreshing, it just left a weird tropical like flavor in my mouth... just not enough tart for this reviewer. I suppose the tropical flavored aftertaste is better than a medicinal aftertaste. Taste Rating - 7.7

Go Girl Glo Energy Drink Review: Kick
At 12 ounces this drink is not really packed with a whole lot of kick but that is not what they were going for. Again, according to the can "Glo is a unique energy drink that is lighter in caffeine and calories....provides an uplifting yet relaxing experience." The actual ingredients are 75 milligrams of caffeine, 500 milligrams of taurine, 508 milligrams of super citrimax (a mild appetite suppressant) vitamin E and a bunch of vitamin B. So it is just like the can said, I nice uplifting kick, but not over the top. The super citrimax is a nice touch for those looking for an appetite suppressant. Kick Rating - 7.5

Go Girl Glo Energy Drink Review: Final Judgment
Again I am really not in the demographic of the Go Girl Glo energy drink. I am not female, I am not looking for a mild kick, and I am not overly concerned with the complexion of my skin or appetite suppressants. But if you are in said demographic of this drink, then I suggest you give it a try. It is pretty unique as far as ED's are concerned. Oh and I should mention, a portion of the proceeds of this drink go to Ovarian Cancer research. Final Judgment - 7.7

Cougar Energy Drink - Double Shot:
I always feel a little awkward when I review Energy Drinks like the Cougar Energy Drink Double shot... Why you might ask? Well I am not even close to the actual demographic of this drink as I am neither a woman nor do I hunt for younger men.... Either way this Cougar Energy shot was quite intriguing so I thought I would give it a try. This 2.5 ounce shot comes in 2 different formulas, standard and double. I chose to try out the double shot first. So here goes my first review of an energy shot designed for women (I have reviewed energy drinks for women).

Cougar Energy Drink - Double Shot: Taste
Alright since this is the double strength version I was not expecting the best taste out there, especially from a 2.5 ounce bottle that when opened did not smell the greatest. However, after my first sip (that I actually had at room temperature), I was very pleased with the very fruity flavor. I could taste hints of grape, raspberry and strawberry followed by what seemed to be a watermelon flavor. Probably one of the better tasting energy shots I have ever had, be it for male or female. And to think this is the shot with more energy ingredients, the standard has to at least taste as good, if not better. Don't forget there are no calories, sugar or carbs! Taste Rating - 9.3

Cougar Energy Drink - Double Shot: Kick
So the taste was great, but was the kick designed for a woman good enough for me? Well the energy ingredients for the double shot include 150 milligrams of caffeine, Green Tea Extract and a large amount of b-vitamins. So yeah, I definitely got the kick I was looking for. Not the strongest kick I have ever had, but definitely enough to get this 180 pound male through a hard workout. On the Cougar Energy drink website, it says that this shot also promotes weight loss. Now I am not sure what ingredients promote this, nor will I have the time to test it out as I have to move on with other reviews, but if you want more information on the weight loss attribute I suggest you visit their site. Or if any one wants to chime in below in the comments section feel free. Kick Rating - 8.4

Cougar Energy Drink - Double Shot: Final Judgment
Again I am really not in their demographic, but without the "Cougar" label I would definitely buy this. It is just awkward chugging one of these in the guys locker room at the gym while some other dude is looking at you. Anyways great taste and a great kick, the only place I know of where you can currently purchase is on their website (portion of the sales go to the American Breast Cancer Association). If anyone else has seen this feel free to chime in below. Final Judgment - 8.8

Venom Low Carb Energy Drink Mojave Rattler:
Well this is by far one of the Energy Drinks that I have come across... It is also one of the ones with the coolest can. The 16.9 ounce can is very strong and quite heavy duty. Even though this drink is roughly industry standard in terms of size, the resealable cap is definitely a nice touch for those that want to save some energy for later. Low Carb Venom Mojave Rattler is made (or at least trademarked) by Dr Pepper / 7up, so as you would imagine the distribution is pretty good. There is also a regular version of this drink as well (venom Black Mamba), which I will review later. So enough with the fluff, let's see how this snake does in the taste and kick tests.

Venom Low Carb Energy Drink Mojave Rattler: Taste
No new energy flavor here, just your classic citrus / fruit flavor with a hint of apple which is initially sweet yet followed by a subtle tart bite. The tart bite is not a medicinal aftertaste, I think Mojave Rattler must have been formulated this way. Basically they took the normal Monster Energy Drink and Original Rockstar Energy flavor to another level... one without the bitter bite. Overall, it was quite pleasant, especially since it only has 50 calories and 8 carbs (albeit from sugar). So the combination of sugar and artificial sweetener did pay off for this low carb drink in the taste test. Taste Rating - 8.9

Venom Low Carb Energy Drink Mojave Rattler: Kick
So the low carb version of Mojave Rattler does the job quite well; but will it give you the bite you are looking for in the kick category as the name and slogans imply? Well the energy drink ingredients include a 3000 milligram blend of; taurine, L-Carnitine, Caffeine, Guarana (natural caffeine), Inosistol and Maltrodextrin. I am not sure of the exact caffeine levels, but with both caffeine and guarana high on the energy blend list I would guess close to 200 milligrams. Regardless, the combination of the energy blend and carbs from sugar gave a quick and pretty decent lasting kick. The low level of sugar (6 total grams) led to no crash. Kick Rating - 8.8

Venom Low Carb Energy Drink Mojave Rattler: Final Judgment
For a low carb energy drink, Mojave not only delivers a good flavor, it delivers a pretty well rounded kick that is both fast acting and pretty long lasting. The resealable nicely designed can is also a nice touch. I can't wait to try the original Venom Black Mamba to see how it does as well, so stay tuned and give this a try if you find it on the shelves. Final Judgment - 8.9

Whey UP Protein Energy Drink- Grape Punch:
First Energy Drink that I have reviewed this month, but it won't be the first time I have reviewed the WheyUP Protein Energy Drinks as I have previously tried the Original Berry and Tropical Citrus flavors, both of which I enjoyed. So I was thrilled to find out that they have yet another flavor - Grape Punch. What exactly makes this drink different than the hundreds of other ED's out their? Well adding 20 grams of protein to the mix definitely shakes things up a bit, especially if you are an avid fitness enthusiast like I am. Now if I get up at the crack of dawn to hit the gym before I go to work, or go to the gym after an 8-10 hour day at the office, I don't have to mix a protein shake and have an energy drink. Instead I can get in my car, crack the 16 ounce resealable bottle, get in my car and consume on the way to the gym! Alright, enough about my boring life, let's see how the new grape punch flavor tastes....

Whey UP Protein Energy Drink- Grape Punch: Taste
Most energy drinks leave you with a horrible medicinal aftertaste, so I know what you are all thinking... I can't wait to try Whey UP, get a medicinal aftertaste and then have to deal with the usually horrible protein drink taste as well. BUT, that's NOT the case with Whey UP. Instead you get a pretty smooth grape flavor followed up with a hint of watermelon. I am not going to lie, you can taste a hint of the protein in this grape flavor, but it was really almost non-existent. Besides, it is way better than the powdered protein shakes I was having before. Being sugar free and having 20 grams of protein and tasting good is quite an accomplishment. Overall, the new Grape Punch flavor is quite good, but my favorite will still have to be the tropical punch! Taste Rating - 8.8

Whey UP Protein Energy Drink- Grape Punch: Kick
20 grams of protein and only 90 calories is great, but will Whey Up also deliver the kick I need for the early morning or evening workout? You bet! There is 150 milligrams of caffeine, taurine and a bunch of b-vitamins which will definitely get you up and moving. Now I know what you are all thinking, well there are stronger drinks out there. Good point, but I would much rather drink a NON carbonated energy drink that does not pump my body full of so much caffeine that I cramp up or get dehydrated half way through a workout. So in this reviewers opinion, this is the perfect blend for a workout, run, bike ride or anything else sports related. Kick Rating - 9.0

Whey UP Protein Energy Drink- Grape Punch: Final Judgment
AS you might be able to tell from the review above and the past reviews, I am a big fan of WheyUP Protein Energy Drinks because they are perfect for my lifestyle. There are actually two or three energy drinks that I purchase on a regular basis and this is one of them. To sum up... good taste, good kick, 20 grams of protein, 90 calories, sugar free and perfect for the active lifestyle. Right now they are available nationally at GNC and Vitamin World. You can also purchase them in bulk online. Final Judgment - 9.2
