The flavors are really good and the caffeine amount is perfect for me at 160mg. It's a great alternative to regular energy drinks like monster, bang, and rockstar. I definitely recommend these to anyone looking for a good alternative to normal energy drinks.

First off, I am sensitive to most energy drinks these days (i.e., monster, rockstar, bang, reign, etc.), and most of those have given me bad anxiety or panic attacks likely due to the ingredients and high level of caffeine (300mg). I was hesitant to want to try ZOA as i assumed it would be like any other energy drink I've had.

My findings:
Caffeine: it's perfectly tolerable for me. The green tea coffee and green tea extract total out with "natural caffeine" at 160mg. The caffeine in here appears to be naturally sourced which metabolizes differently then normal lab (synthetic) produced high content caffeine like other major brands (which usually causes jitters, shakes, anxiety etc.) The synthetic caffeine also tends to give you a faster caffeine rush vs the more natural caffeine which is why you experience a crash.

I've found it to be a perfect mid-day pick-me-up, a perfect pre workout or even a good post workout to get you back on your feet after being tired. Best of all, i don't experience a "crash" like I do on many other energy drinks. I don't get the shakes, "rush" or crazy side effects I've felt with other energy drinks. This seems to be just the perfect amount of ingredients to be tolerable and also doesn't include the things like ginseng, taurine and other junk. Zoa has the good balance of vitamins, the camu camu and turmeric extract.

Sugar: if you want to keep it simple then get the sugar version with normal sugar and it will keep you fuller, but then yes there is the sugar aspect to it. I prefer to stick to the artificial sweeteners and I'm personally okay with sucrolose but yes ace-k has been linked to its issues (cancer, Brian function, etc.). Personally if you are drinking energy drinks in the first place you can't expect to have every ingredient be healthy anyway - i don't think that's reasonable with any energy drink. But the taste from the regular sugar and artificial sweeteners are great. I have nothing bad to say about them. It's not stevia or monk fruit but at the end of the day they are all just sweetners.

Flavors: I'd rank them in this order: Pineapple Coconut, Tropical Punch, Orange, White Peach, Super Berry. I don't care for original or lemon lime. But the first five"¦ absolutely love them (I'm sure my picture of my fridge speaks for itself lol). Flavors are delicious and taste just as they are described. Some don't like the flavor likely due to the sweetners, but they taste even better with regular sugar version.

Overall, ZOA is awesome IMO. Definitely recommend trying it if you've been hesitant.

I like this brand and enjoyed the cranberry flavor. Everyone who I let try them also enjoyed this flavor and some of them had never had Zoa before. The citrus comes through with out it being overpowering. I was a little upset that every single can was severely damaged but they were drinkable

Use this drink for a quick pick me up in the afternoon. It's very refreshing and have to say delicious 😋

These are excellent energy drinks that taste great and leave me focused for several hours after consuming one. I typically prefer larger energy drinks, but these 12oz cans are more than enough to both enjoy the experience in addition to still getting the perfect energy boost. The caffeine in these gives the drinks a slight coffee-like aftertaste from the more natural ingredients, but the flavors themselves are largely unimpacted and are very potent and flavorful. Within minutes of finishing a can I feel much more awake and focused and I have found myself better able to stay attentive to my work and projects afterwards. For me, the effects generally last about 3-4 hours at max before it wears off. Overall, this is an excellent variety pack if you are interested in great tasting energy drinks that will keep you awake for traveling, working, exercising or any other use. I highly recommend them.
