Advocare has launched Spark Energy Drink with two new products to the energy market, an energy packet and energy shot. I decided to put the energy powder under the microscope first. I grabbed a standard water bottle and dumped the entire packet into the bottle, shaking it for about 1 minute.

It's easiest in a water bottle because you can shake to your heart's content to make sure nothing sits in the bottom. First problem with the taste is that you can still feel the tiny grains as you begin consuming the supplement.

Tasting the powder from these concoctions has always been a pet peeve of mine so I find myself continually shaking the bottle. Spark Energy drink's actual TASTE wasn't too bad. It wasn't an overpowering orange and contained only the slightest hint of a medicinal taste.

This packet comes packed with nutrients and has 120mgs of caffeine that should've provided a boost for hours. Unfortunately while I did feel a kick, it lasted only 30-35 minutes. I'm gonna go out on a limb and say most people are looking for a little more.

Another obvious drawback is that you can't purchase this in stores. Advocare is a multi level marketing company that doesn't feature in-store product. How they got Drew Brees to sponsor this product (besides the obvious) I will never know.

Bottom Line- A convenient little packet that provides less kick then a 6 year old girl playing soccer with average taste at BEST, leaves Spark Energy Drink with a poor 6 out of 10 rating.
