ZOA Energy Sugar Free Energy Drinks With Electrolytes For Hydration, Lemon Lime - 12 Fl Oz (12-Pack)

ZOA is a solid 5 stars. I've gone through so many different fizzy drinks trying to find a healthier alternative to soda and everything is either really underwhelming (sugar free fruity mineral water) or insanely overkill and loaded with crazy supplements (monster energy type drinks). There are also a lot of goofy new age options that try to add various herbs and supplements which seem completely unnecessary. ZOA has just the right amount of stuff though. Some essential vitamins & minerals, caffeine and a sweet taste that's as punchy as real sugar but without the artificial sweetener aftertaste. That's what I really like about this drink - the taste is just really soda-like. The cherry limeade tastes a lot like coke and the wild orange one a lot like Fanta. I do kinda wish there was a caffeine free option. Sometimes I want a fizzy drink close to bedtime but don't want to be all energized. Still, as an energy drink, it hits all the right spots. I usually get the variety packs, because I haven't found a flavor yet that I dislike. My favorites are the apple one, pineapple colada, fruit punch, cherry limeade and mango. The grape one tastes like grape flavored candy/soda from your childhood days. Another favorite of mine that comes close to this one is NOCCO, but those are harder to come by in terms of availability on Amazon.

First off, I just want to say that I don't usually go out of my way to post reviews about anything but if I feel like it's something that deserves more recognition then I will go out of my way to do it. I like to go in depth with my reviews so I don't leave out any details so if that's the kind of review you're looking for, then this is for you :) MY BACKSTORY: Basically, my first job was picking up a lot more hours than usual so I hopped on the "energy drink" train and started going through a bunch of clean, zero energy waters, teas, etc. from a bunch of brands. At some point, I had to pick up a 2nd job to help support my family in which I was working from 7am to 3pm and then heading over to my other job from 4pm to 11pm (For 3 months: 6 out of the 7 days). One of my coworkers was bringing some of his own energy drinks and he had eventually put me on the more popular energy drink brands. We would buy in bulk from different brands so it's safe to say that we've drank a LOT and that we're pretty acclimated with energy drinks. We did maintain the caffeine by watering it down and eating properly unlike most people*** I personally bought through Amazon just because I personally like the fast shipping aspect from Amazon. I would say that I pretty much drank from most brands that Amazon had to offer and tried every flavor. I was on the search to find the perfect one for me and that's when I found ZOA. MY ZOA REVIEW: As I was looking for healthier alternatives with better flavors and no crash, I finally stowed upon ZOA. I started off with buying the variety pack and the going off to buy everything that the site had to offer. After several months, I have to say that this is by far the best drink I've ever had in terms of value, flavor, vitamins and having no crash. That 160mg of caffeine/can size is perfect as its not too much and not too little, compared to most brands that have 200mg with no vitamins in them. I was pretty skeptical at first seeing that Dwayne was one of the cofounders, as seeing other celebrities drinks didn't turn out so well but I was proven wrong! ZOA is simply my favorite energy drink now with that perfect amount of 160mg of caffeine, the vitamins it offers, the price range of $20+ for a pack and all the great flavors it has to offer! My personal favorite is the tropical punch! If you took the time to read this, thank you!

If you are going to need energy but not the sugar or weight gain this product is for you great flavor and will help give you a lift

Had to try these out because of the hype around them. The flavor isn’t bad, as I can taste the cranberry, and it was enjoyable. However, it is definitely not my favorite flavor that this brand carries. My favorite one would have to be the mango splash. Overall not a bad price, but wouldn’t buy them unless on sale.

Good flavor, no weird after taste, not overly carbonated like other energy drinks. 10 calories, 2g carbs and zero sugar is hard to beat. No jitters. Focus is increased. Good value.

Out of all the energy drinks, zoa is my favorite in terms of taste. I like the fruit punch the best. Great way to get some caffeine for the day.

I am a shop-a-holic, I saw this zero sugar energy drink and thought i would give it a try. I was leary, concerned with the higher than I would pay for a canned drink. And with the fact I could not try just one before I bought the whole 12 pack. Trust me when I say, WOW! Pleasantly surprised, its delicious, light, loaded with vitamins, chained Amino Acids, which promotes muscle strength, less fatigue, i absolutely love this stuff!!

ZOA Wild Orange Energy Drink presents itself as a bright interlude in the otherwise monotonous landscape of daily exertions. Its citrus tang is immediate, sharp, and seemingly designed to awaken the senses from their habitual stupor. One cannot deny the efficacy of the caffeine-driven stimulation; alertness arrives as if by mechanistic inevitability, a jolt that cuts through torpor like a clinical instrument. Yet, the pleasure it offers is tempered by an underlying artificiality. The sweetness is insistent, masking the subtler qualities of the orange, while the energy surge is ephemeral, leaving one to confront a subsequent, almost disorienting lull. In this way, the drink embodies a paradox: vitality delivered with a mechanical hand, fleeting in its triumph, and tinged with a subtle disquiet. Three stars are warranted—for its capacity to awaken, yes—but also for the reminder that stimulation, untempered by nuance or balance, is never wholly satisfying. In its brightness, one senses both promise and limitation.
