Aspire Cranberry Healthy Energy Drink Review

This boring white can claims to burn calories, just like the Celsius brand does. Whether there is any proof to their claims is irrelevant- I am more interested in the supposed flavor "Cranberry," which is a rarely featured in energy drinks. But back to the can- it is a total wash, looking more like a dumped drink at a supplement store than a beverage sitting next to "Monster" at my local megamart.

The flavor is a complete disappointment! Cranberry, an acidic fruit, is decimated and diluted into a bland, tartless exercise that the textbook example of how not to make an energy drink taste. Mouthfuls are uninspired, effervescence resembling seltzer water more so than your usual energy drink; carbonation is slightly harsh, this is not the drink to have when you have a tender throat. But the fruit itself is the biggest disappointment, drinking so impishly that it never really tastes like cranberries- every imbibe resembles a slightly fruity bubbly water, like a long-lost brother of LaCroix that was killed before it ever made it to store shelves. If I am forced to name a positive, it would be sweetness, all from sucralose, but it does its job by never tasting like the artificial sugar it is.

Each can contains eighty milligrams of caffeine, which is a pretty small amount for a twelve ounce drink. The kick from it lasts an hour and a half- not bad, but definitely not worth its $2.50 price tag. Other ingredients include B vitamins, vitamin C, green tea, taurine, and ginger root extract. Notice here how I made no mention of the supposed "calorie burning" feature here; that is because there is no way to monitor that- and I am not confident my FitBit could track this.
