Level up your workout with the top 5 energy drinks you will love.

Picture this: it’s 6.00am and you’re keen to get a session in before work but can’t seem to find the motivation to train in the morning. You consider a coffee but you’re local Starbucks isn’t open yet and, to be honest, even a double shot isn’t going to cut it when it comes to getting your butt out of the door.

Then you remember the can in your gym bag recommend by the Gymfluencers team – packed with vitamins and caffeine. Put some spring back into your step and start working towards those summer shreds with our top 5 energy drinks!

Top 5 Energy Drinks

Nocco BCAA

Caffeine content: 180 mg/can
Notable inclusions: BCAAs, B vitamin complex (inc. niacin, B6, folic acid, biotin and B12) and vitamin D
Best flavour?: Miami Strawberry or Limón Del Sol

Unless you’ve been living under a rock, you’ve likely heard of Nocco’s BCAA-fuelled energy drinks. It’s hardly surprising that the brand has become such an icon in the fitness beverage space, given its stellar formula and innovative flavours. From the thirst-quenching ‘Caribbean’ to refreshing ‘Ice Soda’ we’re spoilt for choice and it’s hard to choose our favourite drink. However, ‘Strawberry Miami’ and ‘Limón del Sol’ are firm favourites among fans so if you’re stuck, maybe try those first?

GHOST Energy

Caffeine content: 200 mg/can
Notable inclusions: Acetyl-l-carnitine, taurine, alpha-GPC, AstraGin and NeuroFactor
Best flavour?: Tropical Mango

Another classic when it comes to energy drinks, GHOST’s offering doesn’t leave anything on the table when it comes to flavouring. Just like their bestselling protein powders, incredible taste is where these drinks shine and we can’t quite believe they’re sugar-free! The formula of these drinks is epic too combining less standard stims, such as NeuroFactor and alpha-GPC, with more standard ones, including taurine, acetyl-L-carnitine and – of course – caffeine.

3D Energy

Caffeine content: 190 mg/can
Notable inclusions: Vitamins B6, B12 and D
Best flavour?: ‘Blue’

3D Energy had to make our top 5 energy drinks list, the brain child of popular fitness influencer, Christian Guzman, has been making waves in the US and is now beginning to do the same in the UK as it makes its way onto our shores. Topping the list in terms of caffeine content this colourful line packs a punch with a full 200 mg! The flavours are colour-themed and include red, white, purple, green and the extra-tasty blue. The cans were also created with your stomach in mind (you’ll thank us intra-workout) as their only half as carbonated as your standard drink.

Command Energy, Myprotein

Caffeine content: 180 mg/can
Notable inclusions: Zinc, B vitamin complex, vitamin A, D, taurine, lutein and Lion’s Mane
Best flavour?: Sour Apple

One for the gym goers as well as the gamers, Myprotein’s command cans help you make the most of every session. Designed help you maintain focus and concentration through a controlled release of energy, they not only provide a huge 180 mg of caffeine per can but also lion’s mane mushroom (a natural nootropic which boosts cognitive function) and vitamin B6 (which improves energy metabolism). Flavours on offer include blue raspberry, sour apple, grape and citrus.

Grenade Energy

Caffeine content: 155 mg/can
Notable inclusions: Electrolytes, B Vitamins, BCAAs, Taurine and N-Acetyl Tyrosine
Best flavour?: Cherry bomb

A fairly recent addition to the energy drink market, Grenade’s new line up is just as delicious as their popular protein bar range. Containing BCAAs, electrolytes and vitamins these cans have been created with health in mind, alongside the standard caffeine hit to provide much needed energy. The variants have pretty cool names too, including ‘Berried Alive’ and ‘Sun of a Beach’, but our favourite of all is ‘Cherry bomb’ which tastes exactly like fizzy cherry drink.
