Optimum Nutrition Naturally Flavored Essential Amino Energy, Simply Raspberry Lemonade, Preworkout and Essential Amino Acids with Green Tea and Green Coffee Extract, 25 Servings

Yes the taste is watered-down, but perfectly pleasant and very tolerable (think flavored water) - I don't care about super sweet drinks or coloring, I just want an effective product without dangerous additives like Sucralose and FD&C coloring and artificial flavoring. The price point is great compared to other products.As far as how effective it is as a pre-workout or morning energy supplement, I'm still testing it out, but the energy boost is definitely there, yet I could use something "safe" that also promote muscle endurance for lifting. That said, it has a very subtly noticed but effective energy/focus boost that I can live with.I cannot believe supplement manufacturers put Sucralose and FD&C food coloring in their "health products" - Stevia is the way to go and ON has figured it out. I will continue to purchase this product as a pre-workout/morning supplement once or twice a day. Unlike other amino energy drink mixes, this does not upset my stomach or taste "toxic."I wish people would pay more attention to what's in supplements, same with food, look at labels closely, compare ingredients, look at the "other" section of the label most importantly - if you want to be healthy, ingesting cancer-causing, toxic chemical additives is the last thing you want to do, and this is one of the few products at a reasonable price point that does not include them.Thumbs up to ON man - I don't use any of their other supplements, but now I am going to check out what else they have that's just as safe.

Great ingredients. Taste is a little sour but no worse than most preworkouts. I love the fact that there is no junk in it...that's what sold me and I will buy again.

I am a long time drinker of the Amino Energy grape flavor, by the same company. I thought I would try a new flavor, as I like the taste of raspberry lemonade drinks...but this is bad. I am going to have to figure out how to power thru the can since I dont want to waste it. But since they only fill them half full, hopefully it won't take too long.

I tried to buy this flavor after being a loyal user of grape, & occasionally strawberry, amino energy for a couple years. I hate the artificial dyes in those, but love the flavor & it really boosts my workouts. I knew from other reviews that the more natural options of amino energy would not taste as good, but this is pretty rough. Still the same great energy & I will make myself finish the canister, but I’m afraid I’m going back to grape, bad ingredients & all. I would love a natural option that tastes good. Or at least decent. Either way amino energy makes a huge difference in my workouts.

The taste is not amazing but I like especially for being free of artifical sweeteners. Great energy with without jitters. My fav so far.

I have been using ON's strawberry lime ino energy powder for a few years now, and get it on subscribe and save. I've also tried a couple of other flavors (watermelon and fruit punch) in the past. However, I ran out early this month, so decided to try a different flavor in the interim.The Simply Raspberry lemonade flavor is TERRIBLE. It doesn't really taste like either, just a super artificial, chalky taste. I plan to try and return it, but just wanted to warn you - avoid!

I've always been a fan of the O.N. Naturally Flavored protein shakes. Thought I would give this a try. Anything I'm ingesting large or frequent amounts of I try to stay away from the artificial sweeteners. I have not tried the regular Amino Energy, which I suspect by other reviews tastes better. I don't mind the taste of this, and it's perfect for a pre-workout boost without the severity of a true pre-workout drink. I almost didn't but this because of all the negative reviews concerning the flavor - but I'm glad I did and will buy it again.Worth noting - at the time of this review it was the only reasonably priced naturally flavored amino drink I could find.

I bought the Tangerine flavor and it was decent - a little sweet, but definitely more tasty than the raspberry lemonade. It tasted so bad that I thought something must be wrong with it. It was seriously awful. I like the Tangerine and will likely continue to buy it. I wanted to try the raspberry lemonade as something new but it made me think twice about trying new flavors.
