Zizzazz is targeting the growing niche of convenient, enjoy-it-anywhere-you-are powders that can be either added to water/another beverage or eaten straight. Zizzazz also brings together low calories with a proprietary vitamin blend, delivering the benefits of health and wellness to the energy powder. Zizzazz also contained something called rhodiola rosea extract, an ingredient we've never heard of before seeing it in Zizzazz.
The package is quite basic (how much can do with a packet that measures approximately 1" wide by 5" high?) featuring the Zizzazz logo, what appears to be fireworks, and nutritional information.
We found the flavor to be one of the better powdered energy drinks we've reviewed. We tried the cherry lime drink and tasted quite a bit of cherry and little to no lime. We expected an artificial sweetener aftertaste, but it never presented itself. The cherry lime beverage is quite sweet and reminded us of the Kool-Aid we made for ourselves when our Mom's were not looking. Overall, a tasty treat.
The energy bump left a little to be desired. Yes, felt a slight buzz that lasted for a couple of hours, but nothing too dramatic. True to their claims, we did not experience a crash later, either.

I am an avid energy drinker and have been for a few years now and I am a creature of habit for the most part and Amped was my drink..I stress was..I was initially given several of these sticks at my local gym in riverside, ca. and they just sat in my center console for a week.
I was running late one morning and didn't have time to get my morning "fix" of Amped I poured a Palm Mango Zizzazz into a cold glass of water and drank it on my way to work. I was very surprised and delighted by the taste and how much energy it gave me and quick too. The energy wave lasted at least 4 hours(and I am 6-4 250lbs)so I am hear to combat the article said about the lack of energy it provides.
I have since abandoned my buddy amped and am a daily drinker of Zizzazz. Way more punch than any of the canned drinks I have tried(and I have tried a lot in 4 years) and the best part is like they advertise...no crash..that's what I'm talking about..
I diagree with your rating. there is nothing on the market that gives me an energy boost. There is now, zizzazz works great. I agree with josh martin, this stuff works great and tastes great. You do not feel nervous, it works the majority of the day, and YOU DO NOT CRASH! My rating is a 9.75
Maybe you shoul try 1+1/2 or even 2 aday. Then you will see.
