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.
