Watch me crank dat watch me roll
Krank’d Body Fuel Peach Tea
This is a unique product. When the company first offered to send me some samples I was not sure it fit with my site. It does not claim to be an energy drink and in a lot of ways it is not. After a little research I decided this drink was something I wanted to try. It did have caffeine in a good amount and it also had a very unique list of other ingredients that piqued my interest.
Packaging: They start out with a nice stout plastic bottle. Very rigid and strong unlike a lot of flimsy plastic bottles. The bottle has a nice wrap around label with the Krank’d gear logo on the front. It is listed as 7in1 body fuel on the label and on the back of the label is a nice informative bit about the benefits of the 7 in 1 system. Caffeine is not really mentioned except in the ingredients listing on the back. Grade B- for packaging. I like the sturdy resealable bottle which would hold up well at the gym or during other vigorous activities.
Slogan: “Get Krank’d” is right on front. I like how they incorporated the slogan with the logo and I like that it is unique and drink specific. Grade B+
Taste: Twisting off the top I get a nice sweet peach scent. The liquid inside is not carbonated and is a light brown color. Taking a drink of it is has a nice peach flavor with some light tea taste finishing it up. It’s pretty weak on the tea flavor with the peach being dominant of the 2 flavors. Looking at the ingredients I see they used white tea. As far as peach tea goes this is a pretty good one. I’m not always a fan of flavored teas but this one is not too sweet and really is very enjoyable. There is no bitterness of after taste. Grade B for taste
Kick/Ingredients: This is a great drink to chug down ice cold. It was pretty warm out when I drank it and it was so thirst quenching that I drank it quickly. In the typical 15 or so minutes I had a nice boost of energy going. It was not jittery and it lasted me a good 3 or 4 hours. This drink gives you caffeine energy as well as the kind of energy for working and being physical. It provided me the energy to plow through so hard physical work and kept my muscles from getting fatigued. There was no crash either. Ingredients include 152 mg caffeine, A vitamin and mineral blend with B, C, E, Beta Carotene, Grape seed extract, and more, and the unique “Tri Carb” blend of Dextrose, Maltodextrin, and Dextro-pentose. It comes in at 37 calories, 9 grams of carbs, and 6 grams of sugars. It is sweetened with Sucralose and Ace K. Pretty unique line up and you can see this is a total body type fuel and not just an energy drink or a sports drink. Grade B for kick/ingredients
Web Presence: The site at krankd.com is an ok site. There is some ingredients info there and it looks pretty nice but there is not a lot of content. They have a little news section, a store, and a blog. The blog has not been updated very recently. I like the design of the site but there is just not a lot there. You would be best off visiting their parent site at jbn.com. Grade C
Recap:
You know this is like the perfect marriage of a sports drink and an energy drink. It provides a nice boost with caffeine and it also provides top shelf sport drink type ingredients. When I say sport drink I mean more than just a hydration drink. Krank’d gives you a lot more than your typical sport drink with a lot more ingredients to help you perform better. This Peach tea flavor is just the icing on the cake tasting good and being thirst quenching. I really think they are onto something here and I can wait to try the other flavors. I think if you are looking for a drink to give you true energy this is one you should check out.
