TENZING Natural Energy Raspberry & Yuzu 12 x 330ml

I’ve tried quite a few energy drinks over the years, but Tenzing really stands out. It gives me a clean, steady boost without the jittery feeling or crash afterward. I love that it’s made with natural ingredients like green tea and Himalayan rock salt—it actually feels good for you, not like you're just chugging chemicals.The taste is light, slightly citrusy, and not overly sweet, which I appreciate. It’s also vegan and low in calories, which fits well with my lifestyle. I’ve even started using it before workouts or long hikes, and it gives me the stamina without feeling heavy.Also, major props to Tenzing for their sustainability efforts—fully recyclable cans and carbon labeling are a huge win in my book.Highly recommend if you want an energy drink that’s healthier, tastier, and better for the planet! not to badly priced either i like the look of the design

This review explores the benefits, ingredients, and overall effectiveness of healthy energy drinks, as well as some standout brands that have earned their place in this evolving category.Ingredients MatterThe hallmark of a healthy energy drink lies in its ingredients.

I'm sat here currently ordering my next batch of this energy drink. I originally came across this drink in a store, and for a long time before (and I still do) I bought the 4 pack in person, but let me just check how many times I've ordered this online...8 times since 2022. There we go.Now, as this is an energy drink I'm not going to say why YOU should order it, because I kinda don't really like energy drinks as a "thing" because they're very unhealthy. BUT I will say why I keep buying this stuff.So, I used to drink other energy drinks way back - 10 years ago now. Not all the time, but I was in university and well...if you've been to uni, you'll get it. I didn't love them at the time, but I would drink Redbull and Relentless when needed. I tried Monster once...never again - that stuff is lethal. I remember the other brands would fill me with energy and make my heart race, but Monster made me twitchy and heightened all my worst habits. I'd probably end up in hospital now if I had a Monster. Maybe a Relentless too. Which brings me to why began drinking Tenzing...In 2017 (I think, going back a while now) I started to develop a heart arrythmia. It's benign - fine! Won't kill me. But it did effect my quality of life. At that time, it only happened a few times. It started when I was working nights and after I'd developed, after many years of wishful thinking, a taste for coffee. I was working nights, and had just got into the hang of making cool froth designs on my coffee, when it started.It happened whilst I was on shift. My work had to call 111 for advice as to what to do and I was quickly referred to a hospital (I wasn't taken in as it wasn't an emergency - but it certainly felt like it). This sorta continued for a while after, as I still drank coffee and absolutely loads of cola. Maybe a few weeks. It would happen and completely ruin my day. I began to realise caffeine was causing this. So I quit! I was working nights and I quit! I didn't drink anything caffeinated for 4-5 years after. Gosh...felt longer than that. But the arrythmia went away and I forgot about it.In 2020, it came back. Most likely due to the stress of the pandemic. I was so upset as it came back worse than ever and I wasn't drinking caffeine anymore. Cut to today, and I still get it, but I'm far better at dealing with it now and I understand it's normal, everyone gets it just some of us feel them whilst others don't. Even so, for a long time I wanted to drink caffeine again, but of course, I didn't want to trigger my heart and caffeine is a trigger. I was so scared to drink caffeine. But then I came across this drink...I actually don't think I realised it had as much caffeine in it as it does when I bought it - I don't think I even thought it was an energy drink. I just saw natural caffeine and thought it would be a safe alternative - a bit like those drinks that are cram full vitamins and exotic ingredients, claiming they'll give you a natural boost. And guess what, it was safe. Had no issues! I then discovered it was an energy drink and was gobsmacked. This really helped my confidence.But that would also explain why I was slowly becoming addicted to the thing. So, that's my word of caution, this stuff is addictive. I make a conscious effort not to buy it too often. I got to a point where I felt I couldn't focus without it, which obviously wasn't true. I limit myself to 1 a day when I have it. I think if I have it for long periods of time it can aggravate my heart a little, but I can't say that for sure as that could be chance as, like I said, this is my new normal now.The flavour is delicious! Just the flavour alone puts me in the right frame of mind. And there's something about fizzy drinks that just wakes up the senses. It's a low sugar drink (in comparison to other sodas/energy drinks), as most of it is sweetener.It's just really satisfying.The one con is that this stuff is expensive. Especially if you buy the smaller packs in person. It's cheaper (most of the time) to buy it here. Sometimes though there's no difference in price as the price fluctuates.So to summarise:- Energy drinks aren't good for you. But if you're going to drink one, drink this one.

As an energy drink fan (maybe too much!), I realised that my daily Monster habit might be overkill and decided to try a slightly healthier option. I’m not entirely sure how much better TENZING is in terms of health, but its focus on natural, plant-based ingredients already feels like a step up from the chemical-heavy vibe of many mainstream energy drinks that feel like they've been sourced at the local toxic waste plant.The taste is refreshing, especially when chilled, and while it doesn’t give the instant jolt you’d get from Monster or Red Bull, it has the steady, smooth energy lift of a good coffee. If you’re looking for a gentler, more natural way to start your day, TENZING is definitely worth a try!
