About this episode

The episode features a taste test of seven popular energy drinks, discussing their ingredients and effects.

Energy drinks aren't what they used to be. While some are still packed with sugar and sky-high caffeine, others are bringing more to the table with electrolytes, green tea and functional ingredients. This week on FUELED, Carrigan Chauvin, Kenny Lopez, and I crack open seven popular energy drinks to see which ones deliver, and which ones fall flat. Tune in for our honest taste test, what to look for on the label and how to get the biggest boost without the biggest crash.
