Scrap scoop
Great product, but I’ll probably find something else now. They have to figure out this scoop thing… make the tube smaller? Anything… it’s extremely frustrating

Remove Red Dye 40
Grape is my favorite. I prefer it over coffee in the AM, however, Red Dye 40 needs to be removed. The cans don’t have it, neither should the powder. And like the other comments the smaller scoop is a pain.

We appreciate your honest feedback for Red 40 and prioritize designing formulas with the best ingredients in mind. Please rest assured we’ve shared your feedback with our internal teams!

Miss Lemon Lime

I love this
I love drinking this in the morning in replace of my morning coffee. Doesn't give me the jitters or prickly skin like some do. Watermelon and Blueberry Lemonade are great. Strawberry tastes very artificial

I would buy again
Accidentally ordered watermelon but was surprised on how much I liked the flavor. My only hope is you would add more flavors from the 30 serving amino energy to the 65 servings amino energy.

This Stuff is Great
I don't use this as a workout tool but as a replacement for coffee. Add it to a bit of water and it hydrates and gives energy. Take is great too!

Amazing product
I started taking this because I had to get through back-to-back cross country and swim practices several days a week. The energy boost was amazing and surprised me when I got through 5 miles of hills without a problem. (I use 2 scoops in 10 ounces about 30 minutes before an activity).

Good stuff
[This review was collected as part of a promotion.] If you're wanting to remove caffeine from your diet this is a great caffeine alternative. Tastes good, helps with muscle recovery, and great energy.

Awesome
[This review was collected as part of a promotion.] I loved this drink. This flavor is refreshing! Also a great value for the number of servings you get. This is all I drink. I have hair loss due to Lupus, and I believe some of my hair growing back. I will definitely keep purchasing.

Great Taste, Sustainable Energy
[This review was collected as part of a promotion.] I'm not a fan of these kinds of supplements; usually they taste horrible. I have to say, I was very skeptical of the watermelon flavor, but while it is incredibly sweet, it tastes much like a watermelon Jolly Rancher, which is not a bad thing. I got a little boost from drinking Optimum Nutrition Essential Amino Energy Watermelon, and I didn't crash afterwards. All good things. This isn't a product I'd buy or consume regularly, but when I'm in the height of training, I would definitely consider this product over others.
