MATI Plant-Powered Sparkling Organic Energy Drink, Variety 6 Pack, 12 Fl Oz

As a regularly consumer of Monster's Zero Ultra offerings, this energy drink was quite a departure. The lack of additional sweeteners is immediately evident, as the herbal flavor from what I presume is the Guayusa hits strong and hard, as does that of the lime juice. The cherry and blueberry-pomegranate flavors are the sweetest of the bunch, which makes sense considering they contain nearly twice as much juice as the other flavors (62 percent and 58 percent, respectively.)The caffeine content is on par with a can from the aforementioned industry juggernaut, albeit without the amplifiers such as Taurine and Guarana, with their questionable health effects. The result is a gentle, caffeine buzz and alertness levels equitable to a couple cups of coffee.For those who are more health-conscious but aren't fans of coffee, and don't mind a strong, unsweetened herbal tea-like flavor, MATI Energy does the trick!

If you enjoy Runa Energy or if you enjoy the taste of sparkling non-alcoholic beer, than this is for you. Says naturally sweetened but we tasted no sweetness at all. Very tangy. This is our first negative review for a product as we felt we needed to make sure others were warned about the taste. We had read the positive reviews on this product thus went ahead and bought it hoping it's be as great as it was reviews to be. Nope! Not good! Actually sour tasting. We tried the tasters package (6 flavors) hoping one would turn out good but none were drinkable. Oh and it goes bad if you leave it open in the refrigerator overnight.

Two stars because I like the product when I bought in a store. Arrived with 2 of the 6 cans busted and leaked all over the other cans. The 4 cans that were still sort of drinkable were covered in dried gunky product. Came with a coupon that had expired 5 months ago.

These were pretty good. I was caught off guard by the taste, but it's a good change from those gas station / convenience store brand name energy drinks that taste completely fake or full of sugar.These tasted like brewed tea with light carbonation. The flavors were a bit weird but the drink size is small, so it isn't a big deal. I tried the 6 flavor variety pack. They pretty much all had a similar taste. I would buy it again.In regards to energy, you do feel it start 3/4 through finishing the drink & it lasts a while, slowly fading. No crash though as with other ones like Monster, Rockstar, Amp, Red Bull etc.Give the variety pack a try. It's worth it.

For the sample pack and sale I say give it a try but def not for me. The low calorie flavors are like seltzer with no sweet taste and a bad after taste. The others are ok enough but not great. The energy effect is not as good as red bull or redbull knock offs. However, everyone has a different opinion and preference with energy drinks. Some people hate red bull, others like nos or monster etc. Mati also claims all natural, no chemicals, so if thats important to you they got that. So I say at the sale price for the sample pack, try it.

Finally an energy drink I can feel good about drinking! First, the ingredients - nothing artificial, no added sugar, no sweeteners, all natural. I'm amazed at how simple and clean the ingredients are.Second, the taste. I'll be honest, the tea taste threw me a little at first (tried the Citrus first). By the end of a can I didn't even really taste the tea anymore, just the citrus. Refreshing, nice and tart, and no weird sweetener aftertaste like something like Bai.Third, the function. I thought it worked pretty well! Didn't feel "cracked out" - I just felt awake and focused. And I guess it has a bunch of antioxidants so that's a nice plus.Definitely hooked, Cherry is my favorite so far.

I really wanted to like these in support of the young lady who started these up and as a natural, healthy energy drink alternative. However I just can't. They taste awful, and I have pretty adventurous taste buds and am pretty tolerant of "health food" tastes. They are a bit more palatable if you add some stevia to sweeten, but overall, not a pleasure to drink at all. I tried all the flavors.

This natural energy drink helps me get through the afternoon and it tastes good. I never was a fan of energy drinks because I am concerned about what I put into my body. I was living on coffee all day which affected my sleep at night. This doesn’t affect my sleep And I drink one mid day. I have more energy in the afternoon to get through work and go workout. I used to be so tired by mid-day. Thanks for creating such a great drink.
