cleaner caffeine hit, some flavors better than others
Flavor Name: Variety Pack, Size: 12 Fl Oz (Pack of 12)
Been going through this variety pack for a few weeks now and it's become a solid pre-workout alternative. 180mg caffeine from natural sources hits noticeably cleaner than the usual energy drinks — no jittery spike and crash. The sparkling texture is satisfying without being overly carbonated.
Flavor-wise the variety pack is hit or miss. A couple of the flavors are genuinely good, a couple I'd skip if buying singles. The zero sugar formula doesn't have that artificial sweetener aftertaste that ruins a lot of "healthy" energy drinks, which I appreciate.
The price is a bit higher than standard energy drinks but you're paying for the cleaner ingredient list. If you care about what's in your drinks, it's worth it.

The best ever!
Flavor Name: Variety Pack, Size: 12 Fl Oz (Pack of 12)
I lost my taste for coffee so I ended up trying several different energy drinks. Most of them are very, very unhealthy. However, I found this one “Bloom“. It is refreshing and has enough caffeine to keep me happy. The flavor is great except that I wish they would not use sucralose. It is not necessary.

Almost tastes like chocolate milk!
Flavor Name: Chocolate, Size: 11.5 Fl Oz (Pack of 12)
I usually dislike protein drinks. But I need It, and this one actually almost tastes like chocolate milk. I’ve tried the other flavors of this brand, and for me, this is the least protein tasting one. Banana came close.

The Gold Standard: Premier Protein Chocolate Shake
Flavor Name: Chocolate, Size: 11.5 Fl Oz (Pack of 12)
The Premier Protein Chocolate Shake is, in my opinion, the benchmark for ready-to-drink protein shakes. Whether you're a serious athlete, a busy professional, or someone trying to hit daily protein goals, this shake delivers on taste, convenience, and macros.
Taste & Texture (Surprisingly Good)
Let's be honest: most shelf-stable protein shakes taste like chalky chemicals. This is where Premier Protein shines. The Chocolate flavor is rich, creamy, and surprisingly satisfying without being overly sweet. It tastes like a genuine, albeit light, chocolate milk. Crucially, the texture is smooth and velvety; there is virtually no grittiness or unpleasant artificial aftertaste. I genuinely look forward to drinking these, which is half the battle with supplements. They are best enjoyed ice-cold!
Unbeatable Nutritional Profile
The macros are what make this shake truly exceptional:
30g of High-Quality Protein: Perfect for post-workout recovery, satisfying hunger between meals, or boosting the protein content of coffee/recipes.
1g Sugar & 5g Carbs: This low-carb, low-sugar profile makes it ideal for nearly any diet, including keto and low-glycemic plans.
160 Calories: A great way to add significant protein without excessive calories.
Verdict & Best Uses
I always keep a case of these shakes stocked. They are a true time-saver for fast breakfast additions, quick muscle fuel after the gym, or a guilt-free late-night snack. If you are struggling to find a convenient, affordable, and high-protein option that actually tastes good, look no further. This product is a staple.
