GURU Organic Energy Drink, Lite, Natural Caffeine, 8.4 Fl Oz, 24 Pack

I love guru

My husband and I are in a serious, committed relationship -- with GURU. We are absolutely love it. (Ok, we're straight up in love with each other, too ... highly recommend falling in love with your best friend ... 33 years and still going strong.) We discovered GURU years ago, and are thrilled to see a great product AND a great company, succeed like this. I am overly sensitive to regular coffee. Coffee gives me the jitters ... the kind that make me want to chew on paperclips. But GURU'S caffeine is buffered with all the good stuff in the green tea. It revs me up in a MUCH smoother way. I don't know how to describe the flavor -- kind of a tropical punch? Carbonated, but not overly so. (It somehow retains a fair amount of carbonation if I happen to leave a can open overnight.) But the BEST part? It got my husband off the typical energy drinks (which are loaded with nasty ingredients). As the can says, "...crafting Guru with natural organics .... 100% Crap Free." That does it all for us!

Excellent stuff! No jitters with just the right amount of energy. The cost is a factor, so I wait for sales.

If you're anything like me, you have a busy life, and getting 8+ hours of sleep every night just doesn't happen. You need something to get through your day, and the proliferation of mass-market energy drinks has led you to chugging one, two, three or even more in a day! Not good! I know my own Bed Rull (clever!) drinking was getting out-of-control, and it was having a serious impact on both my health and my wallet. In my desperation for a source of healthier, more cost and eco friendly energy, I turned to my local natural grocery store and found this: GURU Lite. Made with Stevia instead of all those "let's all wait for the news story about the horrible health impacts" artificial sweeteners, and containing only ingredients you can actually pronounce (sparking water, lemon juice, cane juice, guarana seed, luo han gua juice, steevia, echinacea, ginko, ginseng)it sounded pretty promising. But what about the energy? Well it works, I took my first sip, went "oh well, crap, doesn't work" and then 2 minutes later I was awake! No jitters, no "surge-o-epic caffeine" - just awake. It's refreshing, if you're used to the "wired wired wired wired zing zoom bzzzzz crash!" of normal energy drinks, get ready for one that actually just makes you feel like yourself. Not wired, not tired, not cranky, not crazy, just a couple extra hours of focus as YOU! But what about the flavor? GURU Lite is best described as "not bad", I like it room temperature, you may prefer it chilled. Unlike those commercial heart-attacks-in-a-can, GURU focused on health over sugar-load, so expect a slightly lemony, earthy herbal taste. It is not by an means bad tasting, but it's not like liquid candy, it's a simple, natural flavor that doesn't overwhelm or make you want to chug twenty of them. You drink this for the health and energy, and the taste is secondary. I don't want you to think "oh it tastes bad..." because it doesn't, it's just the taste is definitely not the focus, it's not a soda, it's more like a glass of water - you drink it because you're thirsty, and this, you drink because you are tired and want to be awake. What about the cost? Well, Amazon has the best deal around. I chose the subscribe-and-save option and came home to find a box, wrapped in a clear plastic wrap to protect against rain, two days later. Inside was my case of GURU (which looks exactly like the picture). I found with GURU not only am I drinking fewer of them than I did with Bed Rull, but I'm able to sleep better and of course I'm ending each month with tons of cash in my pocket that is no longer being spent on over-priced, junk-laden commercial "energy". And the best part? I have all the energy I want at hand in a far, far healthier package. Give it a shot today, you will be pleasantly surprised.

I'd given up on finding a clean energy drink when came across these on Amazon. I bought because ingredients and didn't expect taste to be much. It doesn't taste like soda but it's good clean energy and tastes ok though not amazing but better than I expected. If can get at price point of my original purchase I'll buy more but at prices since then I can't justify the expense. If clean ingredients matter to you I'd give them a try.

SHIPPING REVIEW, NOT PRODUCT. Product is great. Guru I've had on subscribe and save for a while. Whoever has been doing their SHIPPING HAS BEEN HORRID. Placing guru in a large box, unsecured so cans spill out, box gets smashed etc. Before this, it was just 24, almost all heavily dented cans that were loose, not in product packaging, and it looked like the supplier had chosen the worst cans on purpose. I don't know who Amazon has been using to fulfill these orders recently(east coast), but I cancelled my subscribe and save because the shipping was so terrible.

In brief, it's mid February 2022 and just received my replacement 24x 8.4 oz can delivery. The one's received a couple weeks ago were unfortunately already expired last month : ( sorry to be one of those critical shoppers when it comes to a drinkable product. But a quick update: the newly received free replacement are good to go and are already benefiting my daily enduring healthy performance levels in my day to day work and life. (note: I don't drink coffee, thank you, merci) ! Please understand that I didn't take the effort and time to post this negative feedback because I don't like this product. I'm in fact a repeat satisfied customer. Just providing a heads up to fellow fans or potential new buyers of this product to indeed check the bottom of the can for the date, prior to consuming as normal. So please disregard the below comment made from a couple weeks ago ... Note: I've requested a replacement delivery which is now 'being processed' and upon receiving the replacement 24 can delivery and checking the date, I'll revise this review accordingly -- hopefully to the upside!

Amazing taste and very effective! I bought this energy drink for my girlfriend. She's vegan and this her favorite pre-workout energy drink. I tried it for the Lite for first time and fell in love! I work late nights at the office sometimes and this kept me going. GURU Lite is very tasty and refreshing, especially on a hot day. Unlike most Stevia sweetened drinks, the taste is well balanced with no bitter aftertaste. There's a nice lemony flavor and the carbonation is on-point. I don't usually drink energy drinks, but this one is an exception to the rule. It's organic, low calorie, non-GMO and contains ingredients that I can actually trust. Another big bonus I noticed is that I did not experience a crash afterwards. I read that this has to do with the fact that they use naturally-occurring caffeine from Green Tea and Guarana. I don't know why you would drink any other energy drink than this. Definitely loading up on these again soon!
