It’s not often that I stumble across a new brand of energy drink randomly, but the other day I was in the gym and, panic, I had forgotten my morning survival liquid! Without time to get to a shop and with the start of the work day looming I rushed to the vending machines at the gym. They have one type of energy, “Moose Juice”.
I am a sucker for Berry flavour because I’m still searching
for the replacement for Relentless Berry (I won’t ever forget you) and that
leads me to the review.
The first thing I realise is that it’s zero sugar (about
15 kcal) which was, I suppose, to be expected given that I bought it at a gym.
As I have discussed in previous reviews low cal sugar free energy drinks have
taken a surprising leap forward with Monster Ultra so I don’t expect them to
taste crap anymore. I was not disappointed.
This drink tastes quite a bit like Rockstar Pure Zero Guava
which is not a bad thing. It’s quite sherbet-y which is what I associate with
American energy drinks however they appear to be UK based (I couldn’t find any
confirmation either way). Although they do tell you how much is in the can in
fluid ounces and you don’t get any Moose’s in the UK. I guess that doesn’t
matter.
I guess I’m a little confused by their marketing strategy, I
don’t really associate a Moose with energy and if someone said “Moose Juice” I
would just think about little Nicky trying to turn Coke into Moose piss.
However, the company also makes protein shakes and I suppose a moose is quite a
hench animal.
Apparently this doesn’t contain any Aspartame, a chemical
which apparently isn’t good for you; you can see I take my research into these
things very seriously. This is a sweetener which I usually notice on the ingredients
of nearly all diet drinks and some non-diet ones. For those of us with concerns
about our health, this might be a consideration, but if your too concerned you
really shouldn’t be drinking energy drinks at all….
Summarise!
I really like this drink, it seems like it’s probably better
for you than most, and at least you won’t put on weight from drinking it. I
like the berry flavour and if they start selling this in the shops I will
definitely buy it again.
