The best energy drink is Zipfizz. There, I said it. On a second thought, I have to retract this statement, because I have not tried that many energy drinks.

The best energy drink is not a drink at all, but a combination of a healthy diet and an exercise. However, there are days, when even the most rigid diet and exercise regime could fail to provide the energy you need to get you through a day.

When this day comes, the best energy drink is the one that works for you. I usually do not recommend using energy drinks, because there are some alternatives: you can take a power nap, have some espresso or just do nothing.

There is another reason not to use energy drinks – many drinks often claim to be the best energy drink out there, but they are not. They contain too much sugar and caffeine, this combination usually delivers a jittery energy boost, followed by a sudden energy crash.

That is why I like Zipfizz. It has very little caffeine (100 mgs), and a good mix of vitamins and antioxidants. Instead of sugar, they use Xylitol – a healthy, natural sugar substitute similar to Erythritol.

The effects are energizing, but smooth; there is no crash or jitters.

In addition, its size and packaging is convenient when traveling, or on a go. I now keep a few of these in my gym bag and in a car.

Zipfizz is available from Amazon, but it could be cheaper if you buy directly from Zipfizz, or from your local store.
