Definitely tastes like what I imagine peach should taste like but missing that slight acidic bite. This doesn’t taste too artificial and that makes it kind of cool. It’s easily one of my favorite fruits, and one of my favorite artificially replicated fruits. But I still think they deserve a shout out, so I’m including my top three flavors here.Ĭelsius Peach Vibe: I’m a sucker for peach-flavored stuff. They’re just not very fun, you know? They’re ol’ dependable. I think I’ve tried every flavor of Celsius available at this point and my general take is they’re very good. They come in a ton of flavors and have 200 milligrams of caffeine, which are two qualities of an energy drink I highly respect. You can easily find Celsius just about anywhere at this point. That has nothing to do with the rankings but I just think it’s a fun fact everyone should know. This is Jonah Hill’s favorite energy drink. You Really Can’t Go Wrong With Celsius Even if It’s Not the Best So there is, of course, a small wish list of drinks I want to try, but there are also a lot of flavors I have, and I’m ranking them here based on whether or not they actually taste like the thing they’re supposed to be. I just pick them up at random gas stations and at my second home, The Vitamin Shoppe. Now, listen, I don’t go out of my way to buy these things online. Every time going into it wondering, are the Instagram bros who influenced me into this right about it? Does it actually taste like the thing it purports to be? When I started to see the range of flavors - sometimes odd, sometimes familiar - I thought, “You know, it would be a nice little treat to try a new one before lifting every day.” And so, here I am, doing exactly that nearly every single day. They came up on the Instagram Reels algorithm over and over again, and as it was, I had already been thinking about using a pre-workout supplement with caffeine for months because I lift after work, 11 to 12 whole hours after my day starts. One of the most commonly reviewed products are ready-to-drink energy drinks, probably because the market for them has absolutely exploded in the last few years. And eventually, videos of them reviewing products. Videos of them discussing their meathead-ass macronutrient breakdown. Videos of them discussing the benefits of certain exercises. Videos of them giving advice for form and technique. And when my coach, who I trust with my life at this point, suggested I start using creatine every day because “it’s actually the most studied supplement in the world” and has proven benefits for building strength, I listened.īut then out of nowhere - probably because I’m in the middle of a bunch of major shifts in my life currently - I started to watch a lot of different kinds of videos produced by meatheads in the sport and in the supplement industry. So doing meathead shit like mixing whey protein with my cold brew in the morning and slamming down a Quest protein bar as a mid-afternoon snack or eating greek yogurt (with various mix-ins) as a “dessert” in the evening just makes sense in terms of time management. When you’re building muscle, there’s an equation you have to follow to ensure you’re eating enough protein for the day. Some meathead lifestyle necessities didn’t follow that pattern simply because some things do make life a lot easier. I usually have a process: I find out about said new thing, I think about it for a month or so, and then I make a decision. Not because I didn’t think these people don’t know what they’re talking about but mostly because I’m not easily influenced into introducing costly habits to my lifestyle.
