Sport Beans Assorted Energy Jelly Belly Jelly Bean Review

In addition to featuring the Lemon Lime and Fruit Punch flavors, this assorted bunch of jelly beans also contains Berry and Orange, two varieties not yet reviewed. I will consume the entire packaging for sake of the kick, but only the two new flavors will be examined for taste. The packaging is quite a step above the former versions, bright bursts of yellow looking great on the predominately black bag.

Berry is up first, a disgustingly pungent taste too tart and too busy for its own good. It is not of any one fruit in particular, although you get flaming nuances blue, black, rasp and cranberry, all far too loud for the tiny beans. It is however, enjoyably sweet, grainy and appropriately candy-esque with the tartness quickly withering into a much more congenial confectionery. Then there was orange, its smooth shell shattering without much persuasion. Your mouth is flashed with the forceful flavors of orange, sour with honesty with scintillating soda sweetness. Tangerine provides decent depth as the dominate ebbs, a real treat in a bag of disappointment.

Each pouch sports vitamin C, a few of the B ones, electrolytes, and carbohydrates. There is no caffeine unfortunately, and will perk you up only on a sugar rush. To end, do not buy this mix tape of jelly beans; buy the Orange and Fruit Punch varieties if any at all.

Sport Beans Fruit Punch Quick Energy Review

Although appropriately colored for breast cancer support, the pink is an ugly choice for this busy packaging. A vibrant red would be much more stimulating, as "fruit punch" is not what the satchel says at first glance.

The gritty texture releases a rather surprisingly deep cocktail of fruits, namely orange, lime, lemon, and passion fruit. Some mango and cranberry notes are additionally present, all with a biting edge of realism and wholly believable tartness. They are tasted contiguously and evenly, with each distinctly present in every piece. The blend is sweet like any good punch is, never cloying with no traces of the functional ingredients contained. Overall, this is a major improvement over the disappointing Lemon-Lime variety.

Without caffeine, the energy is derived from B and C vitamins, electrolytes, and carbohydrates. There is no kick and definitely was not what my body wanted first thing in the morning. All in all, Sport Beans Fruit Punch will impress candy connoisseurs before impressing energy enthusiasts.

Sport Beans Lemon-Lime Quick Energy Review

By appealing to those who view "energy" as carbohydrates and not caffeine, the packaging is appropriate, if predictable. There is a bit too much green however, and while there is quite a bit of text, everything reads well.

Fourteen jelly beans is not enough at first glance, something any candy connoisseur would agree with. But then you pop a few in your mouth, and their grainy texture and fruitless flavor will have you wishing there were even less! The two accused citruses appear without verve and with little sourness, instead favoring a sickly sweetness that is too much, especially while exercising. They are dehydrating and leave you wondering how these adorn the quality "Jelly Belly" brand.

There is no caffeine, but there are some B and C vitamins, electrolytes, and carbohydrates. It does nothing and has no noticeable effect for those under abuse from the gym. In the end, with doubtful quantities of vitamins and electrolytes, you are better off with a few real jelly beans at a better price.
