Taste Test: Zola Energy Drink

A friend kept raving about this new energy drink that he's super into; Zola. So I headed over to Sprouts in Burbank to grab some to try out. I tasted Acai Berry.

First impressions: light and fruity, bubby, with none of that taurine taste you get with most energy drinks. Energy level afterward was good but mellow, like drinking a cup of coffee vs slamming a Monster. It has 120 mg caffeine in it, but it's also made with coconut water, so you're getting some necessary hydration that you might be missing out on when you drink other things.

I tend to overwork and binge my deadlines, and drink usually a monster every morning. Being able to switch off to products like this one or Kinin is something I'm working on this year, to give my body a break.

I'll do a followup post later after I've had them all!
