Upbeat Protein Hydration 6 Pack

These taste nice and fulfill my protein needs

I really like the nutritional values of this drink. As someone who recently started a serious gym routine, I find the amount of BCAAs that this drinks offer while maintaining a 0g sugar value to be stunning. It is perfect for an average intake of BCAAs either before or after a workout, or even without a workout. It also is packed with good selection of vitamins.However, when trying both flavours, I didn't like the zesty orange one. The mixed berry is amazing, but the zesty orange has a chemical aftertaste which I couldn't get used to. I ended up finishing the mixed berry flavour in a matter of three days, but I couldn't tolerate the zesty orange one.

The box had a funny smell the bottle was hard to open the smell was coming from the plastic.

I've tried the other multipack of these with three flavours - 2 x tropical and 2 of the berry and orange, of which there are three of each in this pack - and to be honest, I missed the tropical flavour just a bit. That's not to take anything away from the multipack on offer here, as they're both lovely, zesty flavours and really palatable and refreshing (not always a given with clear protein drinks). For some reason, this 2-flavour pack is a tiny bit cheaper than the 3-flavour one - not much, but maybe worth forgoing the lovely tropical flavour for if you want to save some pennies!Nutritionally, they're great - under a hundred cals each and a decent 10g wham-bam of protein to boot. Pricewise, of course these are a little more expensive than making your own up from a mix, but the convenience of the format makes them great to have handy in the cupboard for when you're really rushed (or feeling lazy). The bottles are sturdy little things too, and make for good reusable ones to refill with water at the gym.A great little sports drink - will definitely use the brand again and will be watching out for additional fruity flavours. Thumbs up.

These bottles are half a litre, so they are quite big; I think that there is more than enough for 2 people to have a drink out of one bottle, or to keep one bottle with you for drinks for yourself throughout the day. For me, for my evening drink to take my pills and not drink too much so I don't have to get up in the night, there is enough for 3 evenings. Luckily, the bottle is conducive to being resealed and keeping in the fridge if you don't drink it all.To me, the orange one tastes like a thick orange cordial, there's no fizz to it at all, but it is quite refreshing. I normally prefer my cordial more watered down than this, so I may even end up diluting and making it spread even further.I initially thought that this was quite expensive for 6 bottles but on seeing the larger size of them and tasting the quality of the drink, I don't think that it is particularly expensive for a special treat, especially since it is suitable for the whole family.

This is a nice idea whereby a juice drink has lots of good stuff in it and low sugar. Plenty of protein, plenty of BCAAs etc etc.However for me I just can’t drink it. The flavour is just not nice on either.The orange is very very tart and while some people might love that, I don’t enjoy it. The berries one is very dry too. Sounds so weird saying that a drink is dry but it’s such a strange sensation.Sadly for me the flavour puts me off and I haven’t been able to finish a full bottle of either.However taste is subjective so you might love it and it you do, it’s got plenty of good stuff in it.

of all the two flavors, I liked the zesty orange more. It does not taste too sweet or sugary even though these are zero-sugar drinks. The mixed berry tasted too sweet for my liking and I really disliked it.good idea to put protein isolate into vitamin-rich, soda-like drinks.However, these are not for me. I am not a big fan of colored drinks like these.Overall, the drinks did not taste natural, but rather artificial, and the aftertaste was like mixing water with these juice-like powdered substances.Some may find it is value for money, i don't regard these protein drinks as value for money just yet.
