Monster: Rehab - Protean

I'm not quite sure if Ive ever been this excited to review a drink. Before I open the can Ill tell you why. When I reviewed the first rehab I said what a genius idea this was because why do people mainly need energy? For working out/playing sports/exorcising, and that's why it was so smart to make a low calorie uncarbonated monster that's refreshing and has electrolytes like Gatorade. But I said the only thing its missing is protein. If they made rehab with protein it would be the most revolutionary drink in the world. And here it is!

Taste- I was told by my friend Nick that it tastes like a beauty salon and by that I didn't know what to expect. It does, it reminds me of licking make up because it looks like it would tastes good but it doesn't. It even has not a chalky pallet but a bitter one that numbs your mouth as an after taste and gets worse as you drink. You can without a doubt tell its low calorie this time and its supposedly a tea but you would never guess its made with white and black tea. I expected a little less because of the protein and I was going to give it a break but they could have added even more without making it taste like a candle or some lipstick.

RATING- 5/10

Buzz- Now the bad taste doesn't even matter. We now have 3200 mgs, almost as much as original with all the rehab ingredients plus yerba mate in the blend and 15gs non soy protein! I really wish they would have added more protein. For me when I go to the gym I usually drink 150gs (which is way too much, you should have about 65gs in one sitting) 200 mgs ginseng. 1000 mgs taurine and 100% of all your B vitamins.

Monster: Rehab - Rojo tea

Round 2 of rehab. I like monsters new warning. It says max 1 can every 4 hours with the limit of 3 per day. But how come they sell BFC's with twice the amount of liquid. I wonder what those say now.

Taste- I really am a fan of exotic tea, mainly because I like trying different kinds, kind of like energy drinks or anything else in my life. It has a very smooth texture and kind of thick. Not as refreshing as any of the others but it goes very well with the tea and even cranberry juice. Bit of a stronger flavor too with no sign of being low calorie. You are flawless once again monster.

RATING-10/10

Buzz- The differences in this rehab blend are no green tea or prickely pear but we have rooibos tea, a South African tea with high flavonols, flavones and flavanones. It can help with nervous tension, alergies, digestive problems and even acne. All together we have 3000 mgs glucose, black tea, rooibos tea, maltidextrin, caffeine, coconut water, quercetin, l-carnitine, inositol, glucuronolactone, gaurana, goji berry and acia berry. 200 mgs ginseng. 1000 mgs taurine and 100% of all your B vitamins.

Monster: Rehab - Green tea

I'm so excited to try these new rehabs. As you can tell to your left the original rehab was my favorite energy with the highest overall rating.

Taste- We start with green tea. Knowing monster its already made amazing. Then we add some coconut water. Brilliant idea. And then some acia berry and goji berry. I know this is probably mainly water with artificial sugar and some pineapple juice with some green tea solids. But the concept is healthy and perfect for the new era of energy drinks. I just love where monster and rockstar are going. But anyways its awesome, its just as good as the original but even more refreshing. It tastes just like it has all those ingredients mentioned (at the forefront) and once again just ten calories. Big up monster and I know you nailed the other two.

RATING-10/10

Buzz- Okay so compared to original rehab we have an added ingredient, prickly pear extract other wise know as fruit from a cactus and a great antioxidant but they brought down the blend from 3227.5 mgs to 3000. That's stinks because it will hurt the score and wont give it a perfect rating. All together we have 3000 mgs glucose, black tea, green tea, maltidextrin, caffeine, coconut water prickly pear, quercetin, l-carnitine, inositol, glucuronolactone, gaurana, goji berry and acia berry. I see now theyre starting to add things that wont even give you energy. 200 mgs ginseng. 1000 mgs taurine and 100% of all your B vitamins.

Slap:frost-low cal by Nolan

Now if this isn't cool,I don't know what is.(pun intended)

Taste-At first I just thought it was a nasty sugar free red bull clone,but then it hit me a cool rush,kind of like the coolness you get from a strong peppermint but not minty,very cool.It builds and the feeling gets stronger as you drink.I have to give it major points for being unique,and this defiantly beats stoked wind chill.

RATING-9/10

Buzz-There 9.0 blend which contains3,826 mgs of isomaltulose,taurine,maltidextrin,caffeine,niacin,gaurana,pyridoxine hydrochloride(B3) and cyanocobalamin(B12).Also 50% RDA vitamin.B3,B6 and B12.

FRS:low cal orange by Nolan



I was missing this flavor for a long time but then the energy drink outlet came to my need,these drinks are a healthy natural alternative sponsored by lance armstrong.To bad most of them taste like snot.

Taste-I'm drinking it right now and when you think closely about it,it tastes like thick orange juice with a little sugar free taste.But you wouldn't guess that it tastes like orange juice even tho it says it does,until you think about it.

RATING-4/10

Buzz-1,614 mgs vit.a,2 gs fiber,163 mgs vit.c,79 mgs vit.e,2 mgs thiamin,2 mgs riboflavin,26 mgs niacin,3 mgs vit.b6,8 mgs vit.b12,325 mgss quercetin,85 mgs catechins(energy from green tea leaves) and 48 mgs caffeine.Healthy and it shure did take away my dreariness.

180: Blue - Low Calorie review by Nick


You can actually spin this can 180 degrees on the y-axis and the label is still face up. I'm not sure why they would name this drink 180...maybe for energy around the clock, idk.

Taste
- Low calorie drinks taste way better than sugar free drinks. So, I'm glad they choose to make the low cal instead of another crappy sugar free drink. It tastes just like original (which tastes like red grape & acai juice), except with that taste that a lo-cal drink has, which i can't really describe very well.
RATING - 7/10

Buzz - WOW....WOW....How do they expect this drink to give you any energy? I mean really, this drink ONLY contains vitamin B6 & B12 and an unknown amount of guarana. They really should of added more stuff; this is one of the weakest drinks I've ever had.
