Oh Apple you're my life
Celsius Apple orchard
Ok so here we have a new drink form one of my favorite companies. Celsius may not look the part but they make a great strong line of energy drinks. They are usually in the diet section at your local store instead of the energy drink section but don’t let that fool you. Here we have their try at a Stevia sweetened drink. A slippery slope indeed. Stevia might be the next big thing but so far I have not had a drink made with it that was actually delicious.
Packaging: Ok so the slim 12 oz can as usual looks more like a diet product than an energy drinks. It list key benefits of the drink and is informative. Not something you say wow about but in a workman like way it gets the job done. They do list caffeine content on the can so that is a plus. I think have there niche in the energy product field and a playing to that. Grade C+
Slogan: “Your Ultimate fitness partner” is on the can and I like it. I think it goes well with the packaging as well as their market. Grade B
Taste: So I pop the top and pour some in a cup. It comes out a light brown non carbonated liquid. It has a mild organic apple scent. I take a sip and I get a watery light apple juice flavor. I don’t really taste any bitterness and it is very light on the palate. It is not very sweet at all. I can taste the earthiness of the Stevia at the finish some but that is present in every Stevia product I have tried. Over all it goes down smooth. Grade C
Kick/Ingredients: Being non carbonated it goes down fast. It also hits you fast and hard. The kick is way stronger than you would expect based on the can design. If you have shied away from this drink because it does not look cool you are missing out on a good strong kick. It really got me going with no jitters. I was jacked up on my drive home and had plenty of energy to get in my 6 mile run with energy left over to cook breakfast for my daughter(I was on night shift), make coffee for the rest of the house and annoy everyone with my constant chatter. I got a good solid 4 hours of get stuff done energy. Celsius is powerd by 200 mg caffeine, Taurine, Guarana, Glucuronolactone, Green tea extract, ginger extract, and B vitamins at the 100% rda level. Then they throw in Vitamin C, Biotin, and Chromium to speed up metabolism. No calories or carbs. It is sweetened with Erythritol and Stevia extract Grade A-
Web Presence: The site at celsius.com while not exciting or fun gets the job done well. You will find a lot of product info, Studies conducted as to it’s benefits, and a good store. They also have a Facebook and a Twitter that appear to be up to date. Grade C+
Recap:
So once again Celsius has delivered a great product. This drink delivers big in the get stuff done with energy to spare department. The taste is light and easy to drink. I know a lot of people who hate artificial sweeteners so this gives them an option. If you truly want some good energy for the gym, work out, or just working around the house you need to give this stuff a try. Sure maybe you won’t look cool drinking it in front of your friends but you will have more energy.
