Zipfizz Review
Zipfizz vs. Nuun
Zipfizz, makers of the “healthy energy drink,” sent me their five flavors to review a little while ago. I was curious to try them and see how they compared to one of my favorite electrolyte drinks, Nuun. But, as it turns out, these two drink mixes are entirely different animals: Nuun is an electrolyte and carbohydrate drink meant for rehydrating and pre-hydrating. Zipfizz is an energy drink that also delivers a dose of vitamins. Zipfizz isn’t something I would take while on a long run, for example, while Nuun is.
Zipfizz Instead of Coffee
I used Zipfizz as a replacement for my morning coffee (with bad-for-you creamer), and that was great! I could see eliminating coffee altogether with this product. It gave me the little caffeine buzz I like in the morning with some healthy vitamins, and it tasted refreshing. Perfect for a summer morning drive into work.
I am not a fan of Rock Star or 5-Hour Energy or any of those trendy energy drinks. Frankly, they scare me. But I feel Zipfizz is geared more toward good health.
Zipfizz Flavors
Zipfizz powder comes in a handy little tube. You pour it into 16-20 ounces of water and then shake it up. Zipfizz is lightly fizzy, not nearly as much as a can of soda. I don’t care for carbonated drinks and this was okay. My favorite flavors were the citrus ones: Orange Soda, Citrus and Pink Lemonade. Grape tasted a little too close to a grape Flintstone vitamin – but some people love that flavor, so…

Also interesting thing about Zipfizz, it keeps you from getting sick! A girlfriend of mine and I did a test and took two zipfizz a day, one in the morning and one in the evening for a month during the winter. While everyone around us were getting sick, we never did! True story!
