We all need caffeine, energy and brain power before hitting our biggest workouts but with all the brands out there which are the top 3 energy drinks? We have taste tested and tried dozens of different brands and hundreds of flavours and we can now finally reveal the ones you need to buy and try.
Energy supplements come in many forms now including drinks, powders and gummies! The main one is of course the cans which now take up some serious shelf space in supermarkets and health stores. Catchy branding, influencer marketing and major sports sponsorships have also boosted this part of the industry significantly over the past 2-3 years.
Red Bull allegedly sell over 7.5Billion cans per year and hold just a small share of the overall market. It’s a major industry that keeps on growing. We have also seen new brands burst onto the scene like IKÓ Drinks who offer a never before heard mix of natural ingredients which include Mate that promises to deliver all of the ups and none of the downs.
Ingredients in popular energy drinks includes carbonated water, taurine, citric acid, caffeine plus a host of vitamins and minerals. Many new brands are offering healthier alternatives with more natural ingredients and even ones created solely from plant power.

Monster
What would a Top 3 Energy Drinks list be without mentioning the kings of it Monster! Monster energy are the most popular energy drink brand thanks to their giant 500ml cans, affordable prices, flavour range and well it’s just a really good, tasty drink.
With over 80 different flavours available we need to be honest and say that we have not tasted them all and their original flavour is disgusting we are personal fans of their watermelon, zero ultra, ultra blue and mango loco. These 3 flavours beat almost all other brands out there with the stand out white zero ultra can being our go to.
Ultra aka the white monster is sugar and calories free which definitely provides a much better alternative to the full sugar, high calorie options out there. It’s a light refreshing citrus taste which is ideal for pre and intra workouts. It’s perfectly carbonate so it doesn’t fill you full of air and ruin your big gym sessions.
Monster ultra is filled with vitamins b6 and b12 along with a host of other goodness. This is definitely a drink that will provide you with energy!
Lucozade
Finally on our Top 3 Energy Drinks list is the originators Lucozade who have provided us with the once heavily sugared drinks but have now become the most popular sporting drink which you will often see drank during football matches and tennis events.
Lucozade how now split their offerings into Lucozade Energy and Lucozade Sports. Energy being the more sugary fizzy drink and sports being the ultra light hydration drink which is ideal for during the sport itself. You can even find both of these in zero sugar versions.
With over 30 flavours when it comes to the energy side we would recommend the Pink Lemonade flavour for the most refreshing and delicious drink of your day and on the sports side our go to is the basic orange which is so easy to drink and doesn’t fill you full of gas.
