Hey everyone, Caffeine Man here and today
we're going to be going over part two of my
healthier energy drink series.
What's this healthier energy drink? It's
called Celsius and trust me, it's healthy.
It's, like, won awards and stuff, so you
know it's got to be good. Plus if you
like these healthier energy drink videos
that I've been doing, leave me comments
down below and I'll continue to bring
you a few more healthier energy drinks.
But, if not, you'll have to find the
healthier energy drinks on your own.
INTRO:  C  *THUD*   M *THUD*

Hello again everyone, thank you so much
for joining me today. Today we are on to
part 2 of my healthier energy drink
series. Part 1 seemed to go OK and, you know,
I had some comments, but it could have
just been the product that I reviewed so
I decided to give it one more try and
this time it's with Celsius. I got a good
feeling about this one. It's won awards,
there's been studies backing how good it
is, plus a few people even requested me
to do a video on it. But once again,
definitely leave me some comments down
below because if it doesn't go well,
I'm moving on to other stuff.  Also, if you
want to stay informed on all things
caffeine related, hit the subscribe
button. I post new videos every Tuesday
night. So first off, I'm gonna tell you a
little bit about this drink, then I'll
give you a little history about the
company Celsius.
After that I'm gonna go through the
ingredients that make it special and for
the grand finale,
I have several flavors that I'm gonna
try out, but not all 14 of them. Also, to
make it easier for you guys to find out
the information you're most interested
in, check out the description box down
below. I'm gonna put a time stamp for
each section, that way the people that
want the taste test can go right to the
taste test and the people that wanted to
know more about the company, can go about the
company. Let's jump right in to this
healthier and energy drink. And hopefully
they're not too mad that I'm calling them a
healthy energy drink because they
declare themselves as a fitness drink.
Excuse me, could you tell me where the
fitness drink section is?
So what makes it a fitness drink? According to their
website it's a thermogenic drink. As a
thermogenic, it's Meta-Plus propriety
blend accelerates metabolism, increasing
your body's ability to burn fat and
calories. They say there are only two
ways that the body burns fat. Through
increased heart rate and/or increased
body temperature, thermogenesis.
When you drink Celsius and exercise,
you're doing both, helping accelerate the
burn, thus faster results.
If you check out the Celsius website you'll also find six University published studies that have
been done on Celsius by us accredited scientific research facilities.
And honestly, I just repeated that, like, seven times.
These studies all show
positive results, reinforcing it as a fitness drink.
I'm still calling it an energy drink.
So a little bit about the company history. In June of 2005, Celsius released it's first three flavors: Cola,
lemon-lime, and ginger ale. They came in a
glass bottle, you know before cans were
popular, then in 2007 they released two
new flavors, orange and wild berry.
They also released two non-carbonated
versions *YAY* Raspberry Acai and Peach Mango,
two of my favorite flavors in general.
What else did they do in 2007? They switched
over to cans, because it became popular.
And probably cheaper.
Over the next decade they had a bunch of universities
do studies on their drinks and they won
a bunch of awards for health, taste and
innovation. They also began releasing a
lot more flavors. As of 2019, they have 14
different flavors, 4 on-the-go powder
versions and 7 of the newly released
Celsius Heat. And Celsius Heat, it's like
their super workout energy drin...
fitness drink.
The heat has 300 milligrams of caffeine. Sound familiar?
And 2000 milligrams of l-citrulline
plus a bunch of other stuff. But this review
is for Celsius, not Celsius Heat so
you'll have to wait your turn Celsius
Heat.
So what flavors are there and what's in this drink? For the Originals line, 6 out of the 8 are sparkling
beverages. That makes 2 non-carbonated
ones, which I'm very excited to try out.
They also have 6 other flavors that
are made with Stevia, since the original
line uses sucralose and for some reason
there's a bunch of people that go crazy
over sucralose. Oh! lt's evil! So they made
some was Stevia as well. 3 of
them are sparkling, 3 of them are not.
And I don't actually have any of the
Stevia ones to try out, just the
Originals.
And what's the nutrition facts panel have to say? Well, it's crazy all over the place. It's got over a hundred
percent daily value on a whole bunch of
the stuff. I mean, it's just super healthy
with everything that's in it. I mean, here,
just look at that. Look at all those numbers right there.
I'm gonna put that picture right there and feel free to pause the video to read all those numbers.
Oh, I'll wait.
So as you can see lots of good stuff. We all know that vitamin C is good for you
and when it comes to vitamin B, yeah it's
good that they're all over 100%,
but you're probably just
gonna pee out anything over the 100%,
unless you're deficient in
vitamin B. But it's still good to have,
especially if you're working out. But
besides all that stuff, what makes this
extra healthy is the Meta-Plus
proprietary blend. This blend has a full
whopping 1.81 grams of this proprietary
blend. This blend has green tea extract
in it. Green tea itself is the second
healthiest drink on the planet, falling
short to first place which is actually
water. It is full of antioxidants and EGCG's.
What are EGCG's? EGCG's are
amazing! And if you want to learn more
about them, feel free to check out my tea
talk series. I did a full series where I
go over all the health benefits of tea,
including green tea and ECGC's. For the
sake of this video, and fitness drink,
scientists have proven that it boosts
your metabolism, which allows you to
effectively burn more calories and store less fat.
It also has ginger extract,
which is super good for you.
Plus Taurine. Taurine has been known to help
with heart health. It works as an
antioxidant helping stimulate the
muscles to offer better performance for athletes.
it also uses guarana extract.
What's guarana extract. Guarana extract is found in the
Amazon rainforest, guarana provides a
natural source of caffeine but unlike
most guarana drinks, Celsius uses the
seeds instead of the roots, which contain
twice the amount of caffeine as your
average coffee bean.
That stuff. That stuff has been known to boost energy,
lessens sleepiness, and increase
alertness and reaction time. Studies have
also shown that "that stuff" positively
impacts human mental performance and
mood when used in combination with Taurine
and caffeine, which Celsius also has. Taurine
also does some other good science-y
natural stuff in your body as well, but
that's good for now.
You know what I like about this drink?
You know what I like about this drink!!!
This can has 200 mgs of caffeine! That's right, this 12 ounce can has 200 mgs.
How does that compare? A
normal Red Bull 12oz can has 114mgs
so this is considerably more.
How does it compare to all the other
energy drinks? Given that there are so
many different energy drinks with
different sizes, 8 oz, 12oz, 16oz and higher, the best way to measure is caffeine content is by how many milligrams per ounce.
No matter what the size, Red Bull and
Monster come in around 10mgs per ounce.
Bang and Reign come in at about 19mgs per ounce.
Celsius comes in just around 17 milligrams per ounce, so
you're gonna be able to feel the
caffeine because it's very similar to
Bang and Reign. Even though it's only 200mgs
and they are 300mgs, it's 200mgs
in a 12oz can as opposed
to a 16oz can, which is why I always
measure it by milligrams per ounce. Now,
let's taste them.
For the sparkling flavors, I'm going to review 4 of them today and those include grape rush, orange, wild
berry and watermelon. For the non-sparkling versions, I'm going to do the
raspberry acai and the peach mango. So
let's start off with a sparkling one the grape rush.
oh wow! That's pretty good. I
normally don't like sparkling beverages
so I'm trying to put my bias to the side,
but you know what, this is a lightly
sparkling beverage. Do they even say that?
I don't even see that on here but usually companies like to advertise that they're lightly sparkling and this is
lightly sparkling. I can barely taste any
of that sparkling flavor and the grape
it's really good. I mean, it reminds me of,
like, a grape juice. But keep in mind
these drinks don't have any sugar in
them. They use sucralose, but they put the
perfect amount of sucrose in here so
that it's not too sweet. But it's got a
really great grape flavor. I mean, I
usually don't like grape, but this is good.
I'm having some more.
Not too much! I'm having 5 more.
Next up is the sparkling orange.
Yeah, that was pretty good too.
It didn't hit me like the grape hit me.
The grape had a strong grape flavor. This
is a little bit of a lighter orange
flavor. You definitely get the orange out
of it and it also has that light
sparkling flavor, which I wouldn't even
say as a sparkling flavor. These are not your
typical sparkling beverages. It's similar
to the grape in that it's not too sweet, so the
amount of sucrose that they put in is
pretty low. So for all you sucralose
freaks, there's not much in here. But it
still tastes good.
I'm not sure which one to try next. They all look so good.
Next is the wild berry.
Okay, that one's pretty good too. Once
again, I'm not gonna harp on the fact
that these are lightly sparkling. I'm
gonna put that to the side so I have to
keep repeating myself. They seem like
they're all lightly sparkling, so let's
focus on the flavor. This berry flavor is
a light berry flavor. It's got a hint of
raspberry, it's got a hint of blueberry,
and I think the raspberry is just a
little bit stronger. Its got a little bit of
sweetness to it. So far the strongest
flavor has been the grape, the least
strongest has been the orange and this
one falls right in between the two. I
mean, this is great, it's a healthy energy
drin....uh, fitness drink.
Last one for the sparkling is the watermelon.
I saved it for last because who doesn't
like watermelon? It's gotta be good!
Actually, I really don't like it. You
don't hear me say that too much of my
videos, I mean unless you watch me drink
the 5-hour energy. That stuff tastes
disgusting, but it works! As for this, I'm
not sure if it's because I had the other
three flavors and they were a little
bit stronger, so I'm gonna give it a
minute and then try it out again.
All right let's try it again.
Nope! Still don't like it.
It doesn't taste like watermelon to me.
I get a hint of aftertaste of melon but
what's hitting me is that sparkling
flavor that I don't like. It seems to be
a little more pronounced in this drink,
maybe because watermelon is usually a
lighter flavor and they were trying to
keep it not that sweet like the other
drinks as well. I think it needs to be a
little bit sweeter to help overpower
that sparkling flavor. Now, if we're gonna
be unbiased and say I'm pushing the
sparkling flavor to the side and just
tasting the watermelon... I don't taste
much melon in here, so on to the next one.
Next up is the raspberry acai, non-carbonated.
Hmmmm, I'm not a huge fan of this one
either for some reason. It's not very
sweet and the raspberry flavor is a
little bit low. Maybe the acai is a
little bit too high, because usually when
I have a blueberry acai I can usually
taste more blueberry, or anything with
acai, I can usually taste the other
flavor more than the acai. But if you
like the flavor of acai you're gonna
have a little bit more acai in here, then
the raspberry. Also if I didn't say
it, it's not really that sweet. So I tend
to pick up one of the other ones for a
little bit more sucralose for a little
more sweetness. If you don't like sweet,
you may like this one.
And the last one on the list is the peach mango, non-carbonated
Come on Celsius, let's finish strong!
Alright, alright. They redeemed themselves
with their peach mango. This is pretty
good. In comparing to all the rest I
still like the grapes the best, which is
weird, because I normally don't like
grape, but they did a great job with it.
This peach mango is probably my second
favorite out of all six of them. It's got
a decent peach flavor, a decent mango
flavor,
not to sound biased, everyone knows that
I like peach mango the best out of
most energy drinks, I usually tend to
gravitate towards the peach mango, so I
am gravitating towards this peach mango
as well. But the sweetness isn't too much,
but it's got just the right amount of
sweetness and it balances off that peach
and mango flavor. The fact that it's not
carbonated also makes me a fan of it.
Another plus to these drinks was that I
was able to find them in the store.
Sometimes, when it comes to these
healthier energy drinks, you can't always
find them in the store. They actually
sell these at Shaw's, 7-eleven,  Seasons.
That's the convenience store attached to
the big Shell stations. So having a
healthy energy drink that's readily
available is always a plus. If you
can't find these in a store near you,
I'll include a link down below so you
can find them at Amazon to have them
shipped your house directly.
So there you have it. Those are the six flavors that I have. They were a little bit hit or miss but
I'm sure you're gonna be able to find
something that you like and because
they're so healthy I say try out one
until you find one that you like. I know
I'm gonna be adding some of those to my
regular mix. Also makes me wonder if I
should try the Celsius Heat faster too.
So many reviews .... so little time.
