Pure LYFT, Clean Caffeine, All Natural Orange Vegan Pre Workout Energy Drink Powder (6 Sticks)

First, I have to say that I love this product! I don't drink coffee. Never have. Instead, I had a terrible addition to energy drinks for years. I could easily drink 4-6 cans a day at one point and I was jittery and angry and my skin was always flushed with hives. Bad, bad, bad. I found PureLyft one morning at a bookstore coffee shop while on vacation in 2017 and I stirred it into my tea. From that point forward I've used PureLyft instead of energy drinks. I enjoy one stick in the morning and that's it! The caffeine kick is not jittery or jarring. No palpitations. It's not a rocket lift-off, but more like an enjoyable entrance to a good day. The best part? No more energy drinks!!!The taste? Well, it tastes like a tiny hint of aspirin. It's not unpleasant or overpowering. In fact, if it bothered me I would try the flavored sticks, but that barely-there flavor isn't a deterrent.I truly do like this product and I often whip one out of my purse to share with friends and colleagues as a "must try" product. So why not 5+ stars with balloons and confetti? I must have gotten a bad batch this last time because some sticks do not have the normal amount of powder in them. Yes, I pop the cap and peel the sticker. Yes, I stir the stick into hot tea that would easily dissolve any clumping from humidity. This morning I got another one that was a little low, so I used a thin wire to try to poke the product out of the stick. Nothing. The next stick was fine, and indeed most are, but this last batch had maybe 1 out of 7 or 8 sticks with little to no product.Am I going to stop buying PureLyft? No. I really do like the product and I will stand by it. Will I bump up the stars with the next batch that's perfect again? Yes. I'm just disappointed in the last 24-pack I bought. :-(

LYFT Energy Sticks are a novel way to deliver a caffeine boost. While the advertisement claims that each stick contains 120 mg of caffeine ( 30 mg less than a tall Caffe Americano at Starbucks or 95 mg less than a small Dunkin Donuts brewed coffee), I don't feel as jittery with the LYFT as I do from Starbucks and Dunkin Donuts. This might be due to the difference in the caffeine source (LYFT claims their caffeine comes from a "green coffee extract" along with some added vitamins) or possibly the stick does not deliver the entire 120 mg of caffeine. The directions instruct you to stir the stick in a drink for 10 seconds, but after 30 seconds there was still substance contained in the stick. Maybe the substance dissolves better in hot liquids than in cold. In any case, I did get a gentle jolt without feeling jittery. For people who don't like the taste of a cup of coffee or who want to avoid energy drinks or who want the convenience of not having to carry around a container of coffee, LYFT is a good alternative with a pleasant if not nearly undetectable Stevia after-taste. Four stars because the contents of the stick do not entirely dissolve.

I first picked up a few stir sticks of pureLYFT at the liquor store and I'm thrilled to now find it on Amazon. I drink coffee in the morning and often needed another cup in the afternoon. I also drank Diet Coke throughout the day. I have tried to wean myself off and stick to water and/or seltzer but I ended up with a caffeine headache and I also missed the flavor. pureLYFT is the solution to both those problems! I stir it into water or plain seltzer and I have an energizing drink that doesn't make me jittery or feel like I just ingested a cup full of chemicals. I ordered the mixed berry flavor and it was sweet but did not taste fake, which is so often the case. We have also used pureLYFT as a cocktail mixers. It's a great way to add flavor and a burst of energy to drinks without a sugar hangover and empty calories. My sister-in-law uses the sugar free version of a popular energy drink to mix with her vodka. She saw me using pureLYFT and asked about it so I gave her a stick. Now she's hooked too. I love the packaging because it's sleek and easy to throw into my bag. I also love the versatility of pureLYFT because I can use it first thing in the morning, throughout the day and/or while entertaining. It will be great during the summer months when I'm outside at sporting events and in need of a nap!

These have NO FLAVOR! I did not realize that before I bought them. When they say add to any drink, they mean not water. It would probably work well with a BCAA drink or something. Mixing it with just water gives it a very metallic taste with a hint of orange or lemon or whatever flavor. It says stevia in the ingredients but there is zero sweetness. I do love the packaging though. Putting the powder inside a stir stick is ingenious. While I love that they have put together a clean caffeine, I wish they'd leave the synthetic vitamins out. I'm pretty picky about getting my vitamins from whole food sources and don't want lab created vitamins added.

Honestly, this product was super disappointing.For the taste, it claims to have a clean taste and with different flavors. Honestly, I could barely taste a hint of the specific flavors that I tried. In addition, the taste was only clean in that it tasted almost like water, with a weird bitter aftertaste. If it doesn't taste like much, at least don't make it bitter.The only thing going for this product is probably the product packaging itself. The aesthetics is amazing. Each drink powder comes in it's own premium looking plastic casing, wrapped in a plastic packet. Honestly, because of the look, I was expecting more.Honestly, it feels like the price paid for the product was more for the amazing packaging, rather than the product.
