You like orange crush? Great you will like SoBe Essential Orange. Wait so if it tastes like orange crush whats up with the high rating, there are a bunch of orange flavored energy drinks on the market? Well basically a couple things. I have become a huge fan of Yerba Mate and this is one of the larger companies that are starting to incorporate that into their drinks. Also I am a big fan of the energy drink juice hybrids, while this drink doesn't quite fall in that category, it does have 30% juice in there (Orange, Grape, Pear) which taste great. So with the Guarana and Yerba Mate in this drink you have a drink that gives a good boost of energy, but also lasts a long time with almost no crash. That is a big plus in my book. Some of the energy drinks just keep upping the caffeine content but that can make you feel like crap, stomach issues, and has you crash hard with a caffeine addiction head ache the next day. I like the route SoBe is going with this Essentials line, I hope they add some additional flavors. So a pretty big boost, again my biggest complaint it that by the end I am a bit sweetened out, these are sweet beverages. Anyways essentially these drinks are both pretty high on my list so if you like Orange or Berry I highly recommend picking one up and giving it a shot instead of your standard energy drink, variety man its the spice of life.
