Go to coffee replacement!
With only 100mg of natural caffeine, no sugar, and 5 calories I can fast in the am and get the pick me up I need. Also adds some digestive assistance and electrolytes so it's great for the afternoon slump and doesn't make me feel over caffeinated. Both strawberry and grape are yummy too.

Amino Energy
Great product!! My son is the reason for the purchase and he definitely feels it helps with recovery. He usually drinks this product before he hits the court, and it has helped keep his endurance up and he doesn't feel so sore after a 2-3 hour work out. He has also consumed it after a work out and it seems to help with recovery.
