Delicious

Very sweet but very good! One of the best protein drinks I've tasted! It takes just like regular fruit punch and is very sweet- it could be watered down some to offset the sweetness. A little pricey but great for those who can't stand the protein shakes!

Hard pass!

Nothing light & refreshing about it. It's a hard no. The bad thing about trying something new, when you are buying in bulk. I was looking for something lighter than protein shakes, this is certainly not it. Just think of it as the consistency of a protein shake with added foam.

Genius Gourmet Sparkling Protein Fruit Punch

This protein drink is very strong. I have to dilute it in water. Also, I would not recommend drinking too many at once. I had some digestive issues. It may have been a combination of things but still I would not recommend drinking too many close together.

Nope.

I thought this might be a nice alternative to regular protein shakes. The first initial bubbly taste seems like it will be good but then the actual thick texture comes in and makes it almost unbearable. I thought I could trick my teens into drinking it, but they wouldn't do it either.

My go-to protein soda!

I was surprised to see other reviews that said this clear protein drink was milky and thick. I don't find it to be either, but I drink it straight from the can for convenience, so I'm only going by taste and mouth feel rather than appearance. I do sometimes get a slight chalky aftertaste, but I don't find it off putting. It gives me the impression of a fruit punch soda that is a combination of sweet and tart. I really like the sparkling aspect as it's very different from the other clear protein drinks I routinely use. This also has the added benefit of being premixed and doesn't require shaking. I of course wish it had a lower price point. However, I believe it is currently a good value for the price and find it's price to be similar to or lower than some comparable products. As someone who likes using protein supplements to help reach my daily protein and calorie goals, this is now my favorite product.

Horrible Flavor and Just Protein

I purchased this and the Nurri vanilla protein shake to see which protein drink I would prefer. I started with Nurri which I absolutely love and works great as a coffee creamer. Then I tried this foul concoction. It is incredibly tart with a waxy aftertaste. I muscled through three or four sips before I dumped the rest down the drain. Then I compared nutritional information from this and the Nurri labels. Spoiler alert, they're not even close. Nurri contains a decent amount of calcium and Vitamin D along with good levels of several other minerals. This "Genius Gourmet" product basically has protein and calories with no other beneficial ingredients. I'll stick with Nurri, and if a Sam's Club buyer ever reads this, please dump this product and start stocking the Nurri chocolate and strawberry flavors, please and thanks!

Crazy About this Fruit Punch

I am consistently interested in upping the protein game though am not a fan of protein shakes, or bars. This was a fabulous surprise and so refreshing. Great way to increase protein without the chalk taste of protein shakes.

Not for me

The taste was juicy but I couldn't handle the texture. It was bubbly but a little thick for a carbonated drink. It reminded me of the drink that needs to be taken before a medical procedure to clean out your system.

Will not repurchase

The flavor is pretty bad, the only way I can drink it is over a lot of ice. Otherwise, it tastes like a concentrated acidic beverage. I do like the idea of clear protein drink, but this one isn't it.

Great Protein Supplement or Replacement

This has quickly become my favorite protein supplement / replacement product. It provides 30g of protein, which is as much as other protein drinks provide. It is great tasting and has zero sugar.
