  • Bold, candy-like flavors

  • Inconsistent flavor quality

Prime earns mixed reviews: many find the hydration drinks effective after workouts and appreciate bold flavors like Ice Pop, Meta Moon, Blue Raspberry, and Strawberry Watermelon, while others say the brand is overrated, overly sweet, and sometimes leaves a weird or artificial aftertaste. Reviews also note strong flavor intensity and attractive packaging as positives, but call out cloying sweetness, inconsistent taste across flavors, and confusion between hydration and higher-caffeine options as key drawbacks.

  • Prime hydration worked great for me. I ended up buying a whole case. I found them to be really hydrating and enjoyed the flavor. I like that they contain strawberry banana which is a good source of electrolytes. The packaging was nice too, the price wasn’t bad. I like having these on hand on a hot day or whenever I need hydration.

  • I recently tried Prime Drink out of curiosity, and I have to say, it’s better than I expected. The flavor I had—Blue Raspberry—was super bold and sweet, almost like a candy. It’s definitely not subtle, but if you like strong, fruity drinks, it hits the spot. I like that it has electrolytes and is low in calories, which makes it a decent option after a workout or just to stay hydrated. That said, it is a bit sweet for my taste if I’m not super thirsty. Overall, I’d drink it again, but maybe not every day.

  • I tried a hydration drink for the first time. I'm not sure what I thought it would be, but I wasn't expecting such a heavy flavor. It was sooo sweet. I mean, it would be amazing for someone who didn't like the flavor of water and preferred sodas, but for me? So super sweet.

  • Prime is a fantastic sports drink option for hydration. I love the flavors and the fact that the taste is not as heavy as some other sports drinks. My favorite flavor is the bomb pop flavor. It literally reminds me of a Bomb Pop treat but is obviously a much healthier option and helps with hydration.

  • A celebrity drink has no business actually being this good. I am shocked at how Prime’s hydration drinks and hydration packets are as effective and tasty as they are. I have no plans to try the energy drink, but I wouldn't be surprised if they were drinkable too. Blue raspberry, lemon lime, lemonade, ice pop, glow berry, and meta moon are outstanding drink options. The hydration packets i have really enjoyed are ice pop, blue raspberry, lemonade, and strawberry.

    Are all electrolyte brands the same? I tried 7 brands to find out.

  • A simple mineral water tripple the volume for £1.50 keeps you hydrated and healthy without any sweeteners and powdered coconut. Prime tastes and smells like liquid plastic. Bottle isn't sustainable and the design is ugly. No thoughts behind anything. The taste is disgusting. And all of this you get only for £2 a bottle. I respected KSI, don't take me wrong, but this product is a monstrous fail, a cheap 90's gym drink sold overpriced for generating money and it tastes really bad. I guess this fits the description of the founders? I'm sure they could do better, will definitely not buy Prime again.

  • PRIME HYDRATION! Primo in my book! I struggle to get all my water in every day. Prime makes it easy! Low sugar, gluten and dairy free, caffeine free. My cramping at night has stopped completely! I love the bottles and the hydration sticks. They taste yummy! My faves are Strawberry Watermelon and Meta Moon! I buy these by the case now!

  • Just too flavorful like the flavors are good but then they are turned up to 180 and it makes it gross. A pass from me

  • I picked up two bottle of Prime on sale in the grocery store today. So far I tried the Strawberry Watermelon prime hydration flavor. It's not bad for a coconut water-based electrolyte drink but the first few sips had an odd aftertaste but I didn't mind it after a while and finished the bottle. Not too bad but I don't know if I would buy it again.

  • Prime drinks are just not for me. The flavors are overly sweet, and they don’t feel as refreshing as I’d hoped. I also didn’t really enjoy the aftertaste. While I can see the appeal for some, it just didn’t hit the mark in terms of taste and overall experience for me. Definitely won’t be reaching for it again.

  • Pretty sure this drink does the opposite of hydrating. The amount of caffeine exceeds the limits most people can handle. Weird taste.

  • I did not like the flavor and it is expensive buying one bottle for not a satisfying taste

  • The blue flavor is really bad tasting. But the pink one was okay. I like the packaging. But the drinks aren’t very good.

  • not sure what everyone loves, but my boyfriend is a fan. they really taste like powdered koolaid that someone didn't mix all the way, a bit powdery in the taste and super concentrated with flavor. I see why kids and parents get duped into getting a big caffeine drink without even thinking, so may be misleading for some.

  • Enjoyable hydration!

    I really like that Prime contains coconut water for superior hydration. Love the fruit punch flavor!
