GURU Fruit Punch Organic Energy Drinks, Clean Energy Drink with Plant Based Natural Caffeine from Green Tea + Focus with L Theanine, Gluten Free and Vegan, 140MG Caffeine, 12oz (Pack of 12)

I do enjoy this energy drink. Compared to other energy drinks this flavor is great with no aftertaste and the ingredients are natural. One to two are pretty sufficient to keep you alert for the day. I do feel as if it keeps my cravings for sweets in check and I have lost some weight while drinking these, perhaps due to the green tea. I only gave it four stars because I feel as if they can be slightly overpriced. I have tried several of the other flavors and the tropic punch is my favorite and the runner up would be the Yerba Mate.** update- I really enjoy this flavor (Peach Mango)and buying the smaller pack works out a tad better.

Love these flavors! Caffeine content just right for me. I only drink half a can a day and it supplies enough energy to get me going on days I don’t have time to make coffee

If you're anything like me, you have a busy life, and getting 8+ hours of sleep every night just doesn't happen. You need something to get through your day, and the proliferation of mass-market energy drinks has led you to chugging one, two, three or even more in a day! Not good! I know my own Bed Rull (clever!) drinking was getting out-of-control, and it was having a serious impact on both my health and my wallet. In my desperation for a source of healthier, more cost and eco friendly energy, I turned to my local natural grocery store and found this: GURU Lite.Made with Stevia instead of all those "let's all wait for the news story about the horrible health impacts" artificial sweeteners, and containing only ingredients you can actually pronounce (sparking water, lemon juice, cane juice, guarana seed, luo han gua juice, steevia, echinacea, ginko, ginseng)it sounded pretty promising. But what about the energy? Well it works, I took my first sip, went "oh well, crap, doesn't work" and then 2 minutes later I was awake! No jitters, no "surge-o-epic caffeine" - just awake. It's refreshing, if you're used to the "wired wired wired wired zing zoom bzzzzz crash!" of normal energy drinks, get ready for one that actually just makes you feel like yourself. Not wired, not tired, not cranky, not crazy, just a couple extra hours of focus as YOU!But what about the flavor? GURU Lite is best described as "not bad", I like it room temperature, you may prefer it chilled. Unlike those commercial heart-attacks-in-a-can, GURU focused on health over sugar-load, so expect a slightly lemony, earthy herbal taste. It is not by an means bad tasting, but it's not like liquid candy, it's a simple, natural flavor that doesn't overwhelm or make you want to chug twenty of them. You drink this for the health and energy, and the taste is secondary. I don't want you to think "oh it tastes bad..." because it doesn't, it's just the taste is definitely not the focus, it's not a soda, it's more like a glass of water - you drink it because you're thirsty, and this, you drink because you are tired and want to be awake.What about the cost? Well, Amazon has the best deal around. I chose the subscribe-and-save option and came home to find a box, wrapped in a clear plastic wrap to protect against rain, two days later. Inside was my case of GURU (which looks exactly like the picture). I found with GURU not only am I drinking fewer of them than I did with Bed Rull, but I'm able to sleep better and of course I'm ending each month with tons of cash in my pocket that is no longer being spent on over-priced, junk-laden commercial "energy".And the best part? I have all the energy I want at hand in a far, far healthier package. Give it a shot today, you will be pleasantly surprised.

I don’t typically like sparkling drinks. They are hard to drink. They tend to make me feel bloated, and usually they taste terrible because they’re meant to be on the lighter side, calorie wise. For example, Celsius sparkling drinks. I LOVE the non carbonates drinks they make! But the sparkling/carbonation side of them make them hard to enjoy, and the taste is not as good as their non carbonated drinks. If you’ve tried them, you know what I mean.These drinks are also sparkling, but somehow they aren’t as “carbonated” feeling and tasting! Impressive! They have a perfect balance for that effect. Makes it easier to chug when I’m in a hurry.Was also worried about the taste! I’ve never tasted Yerba mate, so I was expecting a very strong earthy taste. It mostly taste like a delicate mint taste with a mild “artificial” sweetening aftertaste and a hint of tea.Seriously impressed. Usually when you see all these healthier ingredients you know it’s good for you, or better for you anyways, but you know it’s probably not going to taste very good. One example of a “lighter” drink such as this one, or similar anyways as far as the use of “better ingredients” in the product, is the jocko willink energy drink. In the ingredients list, you will see things that will make you feel better about drinking the product. But it doesn’t taste good at all.This drink has great ingredients and balanced use of them to give it just enough taste and carbonation, to enjoy. I’m amazed with this product and will buy two more of these cases. I regret not getting the variety packs at sams when they did carry them, because I want to try the other flavors. Give these a shot if you so t mins a light tasting, light carbonation effect energy drink

I wish I had tried a single can from the store before buying 2 cases of Guru. My family likes trying different brands for a change of pace from our regular favorites, and have never actually hated an energy drink before as a result!After trying each of the cans from the variety packs we realized that all of them not only had what tasted like it's too sweet, stevia obviously, we all agreed it's like they all have a strong cough medicine aftertaste. Very odd. My wife decided that she was going to finish the rest of the cans, but my daughter and I just couldn't handle them. Take this review as you like but we won't be buying this again.

I mix it with water before my workout to avoid dehydration! Moderate caffeine content!

Showed up with at least three cans broken. Not eligible for return so this is all I can do.

This drink is very smooth. The peach-mango flavor is my favorite. It's absolutely delicious! The caffeine release is slow and steady without any noticeable crash. My energy level was consistent from morning into late afternoon. No garbage additives is another plus. A great drink. I almost forgot, the price is much better than competitors... 👍
