Optimum Nutrition's Amino Energy + Electrolytes is one of my personal favorite energy drinks / pre-workouts we carry. These crisp refreshing drinks come in a variety of tasty flavors, have 0 sugar, and only 5 calories per can. The 100mg of Caffeine is perfect for an afternoon pick me up, or some energy prior to working out, without being over the top. Plus on top of the energy you get BCAAs and Electrolytes for endurance, hydration, and muscle recovery. Amino Energy also helps to reduce if not completely alleviate post workout soreness.Â
Just pop the top and enjoy, no messy powders, and no mixing.Â
