I wanted to like these so much! The lemon blue raspberry one was great. This flavor however, was really sick and goofy and weird inside. Not all of them, but at least half of the pack was that way. And you can’t shake because they’re carbonated I wasn’t a fan of the thick texture

Not good

The Protien is separated from the drink, so as you drink it you get little chunks. It is extremely off putting.

Not for me

I was expecting a light drink, something that wasn’t super thick and milky. This is not that. It’s made me nauseous each time I’ve tried one. The aftertaste is that of drinking a milk based protein shake. Nothing light or refreshing.

Very thick, it pours like jello that has been thickening for an hour or so. Some chunks. Ok if you dilute it with other sparkling water. Reminds me of the drink you give someone who has a swallowing disorder.

Disgustingly sweet

These are absolutely sickeningly sweet. Every single time I’ve had one, I’ve been downright nauseous. I’ve had to cut them with about 80% water to make them remotely palatable and even that is incredibly sweet. They’re also quite viscous toward the bottom. If they had to make it that sweet to hide the protein, I really wish they just did a lower protein content and made them easier to drink.

Amazing

These taste exactly like the old school 90s Blue Thunder workout drinks, which was my jam for years. I love the taste and so happy I found these. 30g of protein, 130 total calories, and less than 1g of carbs is almost too good to be true. Please keep stocking these.

No Thank You

The smell and flavor are off-putting, sickly sweet like an energy drink. Doesn’t taste like fruit punch and leaves a weird soapy aftertaste. The texture is thick, which is very weird when combined with the carbonation. I was hoping for an alternative to shakes, but these are a no for me. They’ll be returned for a refund.

Definitely not for everybody, but, worth trying if you don't like regular vanilla/chocolate/strawberry etc protein shakes. I think they're a bit sweet, but finally found something my girlfriend likes so I'll keep getting them. Not sure where these people are getting the whole "same consistency as a protein shake" part from. It's a sparkling beverage. I use vanilla protein shakes as coffee creamer lol, by comparison these are water.

ABSOLUTELY DISGUSTING NO NO NO NO

This stuff is disgusting. It tastes how bleach smells. It’s thick like yogurt so the sparkling bubbles don’t really make sense in your mouth. If the flavor wasn’t so awful, I could get past the thick texture. I’ve decided to drink it in the morning to wake me up since it’s so gross. Will not ever be buying again.

If you like c- mon or okra water

First it’s super thick, so I decided maybe I’ll pour it in a glass with seltzer water. It poured out like c- mon terrible my son shouted he must have nutted for a month just to make that can. Terrible and it also taste like a reg plastic bottle with soap. Terrible
