      Pros

      • Bcaa
      • Energy

      Cons

      • none

      Best Uses

      • Beforeafter Workout
      • Mid day
      • Morning

      The watermelon flavor is classic jolly rancher. Better tasting Bcaa drink than most I have tried, and the Caffeine comes from green tea. The energy boost you get is more natural and natural feeling. No Jitters. I drink this first thing in the morning. With me, they have a customer for life.

      Tastes Great and Works

      By Fit Foodie

      from New York

      See all my reviews

      Pros

      • Good price
      • Great taste
      • Mixes well

      Cons

        Best Uses

        • Pre-Workout

        I actually went into the store to buy another product I had researched but the guy working there suggested Amino Energy instead. He said most women like it because it's not extreme but still produces results. He was right! The taste of the watermelon is like drinking a Jolly Rancher and the energy I got was just enough but not too much that I felt overpowered by it. I onlt take about 3 scoops which is towards to minimun serving but it works for me. It have great workouts and love this product.
        It didn't get 5 stars but nothing is absolutely perfect =]

        from NY

        See all my reviews

        Pros

        • Give Me Energy
        • Mixes easily

        • Poor taste

        Best Uses

        • Pre workout

        I've been drinking the amino energy for a long time so when I saw the new flavor I decided to try it, well to be honest I just don't like it as much as the orange which is what i will go back to once I finish this jar.

        A Pre-Workout w/out the Jitters

        By Paul

        from St. Matthews/Louisville, KY

        Pros

        • Great taste
        • No jitters

        Cons

          Best Uses

            I take Amino Energy 30 minutes before my workouts and it gives me that needed extra energy boost with out that jittery feeling I got from all the other pre-workout powders I tried in the past, and this flavor tastes really good.
