I used to have so much energy all the time. I never even understood why people drank caffeine, let alone why there was such a market for it. But then college came, along with an autoimmune disorder, and I found myself scraping for energy. Fortunately, I found that energy in energy drinks. So, from a girl who has to drink them on the daily, here are the best ones there are.
Rockstar: Marshmallow
At number one, we have 300 mg of caffeine that tastes exactly like a marshmallow, but with no sugar. Heaven in a can.
Bang: Candy Apple Crisp
If you like artificial green apple, like the new green skittles, this is perfect. It's tangy and sweet, but with no sugar. However, this 300 mg drink falls short of Rockstar's Marshmallow because I don't recommend drinking it for more than two days in a row.
Rockstar: Tangerine Mango Guava Strawberry
These flavors remind me a smoothie, which I love, but the caffeine is lacking a little at only 240 mg. Don't get me wrong, that's fine, but somedays, you just need that 60 mg more.
Bang: Birthday Cake Bash
Why does this taste like I'm drinking birthday cake? As the first energy drink I ever had, it holds a special place in my tastebuds. It's 300 mg of caffeine, and it's great for celebrations when you're gluten free and can't eat the cake!
Bang: Pina Colada
I'm convinced you could alcohol to this and sell it as a 4-Loko type of the classic cocktail. Also 300 mg of caffeine, 10/10 would recommend.
Rockstar: Cotton Candy
At 300 mg of caffeine, this drink doesn't take like cotton candy, but it tastes really dang good. I use this one to replace marshmallow when I need something sweet, but not fruity.
Bang: Cherry Blade Lemonade
It's almost like cherry lemonade, but a little too artificial. This 300 mg of caffeine drink is the start of the less than perfect (but still great) energy drinks.
Bang: Purple Guava Pear
I love this 300 mg drink, as long as I don't have it with anything else. For example, it tastes disgusting when I drink it along with cereal, but it's amazing on its own.
Bang: Black Vanilla Cherry
This tastes exactly like Dr. Pepper with less fizz and way more caffeine. If you love Dr. Pepper as much as I do, this 300 mg drink will hit the spot.
Bang: Rainbow Unicorn
I don't know what this 300 mg of caffeine drink tastes like, but I was surprisingly pleased when I tried it. My boyfriend, however, hated it, so this might just be a me thing.
Honorary Mention -Rockstar: Whopped and Blended Strawberry
This is easily the best tasting of every drink I listed, but it missed my main list because it has only 100 mg of caffeine, and 64 g of sugar, making it the most problematic of all my favorite flavors.
