Uh.......no
Sorry Optimum, I tried a sample of your grape Amino Energy and it tasted like burnt plastic and tires. I didn't even mix the the full amount in my water. Can't imagine how much worse it would be at full strength.

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!

Good flavor
[This review was collected as part of a promotion.] My husband was a big fan of this drink mix. It has good ingredients and the powder mixes really well. He said the strawberry flavor tastes really good too.

It works...
The taste overall isn’t too horrible (it’s not amazing obviously, it’s preworkout), but the caffeine doesn’t kick in for a hot second. When it does, the feeling is either way too overwhelming (feels like you’re gonna have a heart attack) or underwhelming (barely any effect).

Tasty and effective
[This review was collected as part of a promotion.] Actually works and doesn't taste as bad as many of the hydration powders. I recommend adding to a soda or other fizzy drink. It's a great afternoon pick me up.

Tasted a little artificial for me
[This review was collected as part of a promotion.] I got this free in exchange for an honest review. I was excited to try this out after my workout to help keep me going with energy for my day. It was easy to scoop and mix up in my shaker bottle. I will say it had a slight aftertaste that I didn’t really care for. I’ll continue using it because of all the great stuff that’s in it, but the flavor is not my favorite.

Liked it
It tasted good enough to drink and it works if you want a boost of energy without jitters or a crash. It gets you going to be productive and motivated. Also noticed it allowed me to exercise longer than I normally would when I take it a bit before I start exercising

Tasty and Effective
[This review was collected as part of a promotion.] ON Amino Energy Powder in Juicy Strawberry is a tasty and effective way to boost energy and support muscle recovery. It's a great option for those looking for a pre-workout supplement or an afternoon pick-me-up. The flavor is enjoyable, it mixes well, and it provides a clean energy boost without the jitters. The powder dissolves easily in water with minimal stirring. There's no clumping or residue left at the bottom of the shaker. I find it's a great pre-workout drink or afternoon pick-me-up.

Tastes Great !
[This review was collected as part of a promotion.] Dissolves well with vigorous stirring and tastes amazing! I use one scoop instead of two to get my day going instead of coffee. It’s a healthier alternative as coffee can be toxic with pesticides and molds. Two scoops before a workout. Can be added to a smoothie as well

Tasty energy!
[This review was collected as part of a promotion.] I like the taste of this powder. It’s a little messy to find the little scoop, but glad one was included. The recommended two scoop serving did not make me feel overly jittery. I had this instead of my coffee some mornings and felt it worked!

Energy without the crash
[This review was collected as part of a promotion.] Optimum Nutrition Essential Amino Energy is a versatile supplement that has quickly become a staple in my daily routine. It seamlessly blends with my favorite strawberry and banana smoothie, enhancing the flavor without overpowering it. The absence of sugar makes it a guilt-free addition to any diet, which is a significant plus for those watching their intake. The caffeine, derived from natural sources, provides a smooth and sustained energy boost without the jitters often associated with synthetic alternatives. In addition to the energy benefits, this supplement also supports muscle recovery with its blend of amino acids. The packaging is convenient and easy to use, ensuring I can get my dose whether I’m at home or on the go. I appreciate that it doesn’t clump and mixes thoroughly, creating a smooth drink every time. Overall, Optimum Nutrition Essential Amin.o Energy has proven to be a reliable and effective supplement that complements a healthy lifestyle.
