I love Pure Joy! I am not a fan of the ultra-sweet, chemicall-y taste of conventional energy drinks (Alani nu, Celsius, Red Bull, etc). Since pure joy is made with only real ingredients, the flavor is mellow yet fresh. I also appreciate how these drinks don’t overload you with caffeine - 120mg is the perfect amount. Overall I would recommend trying!
I was able to get 4 of these for free to sample for my review. I really have enjoyed the Unwind/Calm versions. They don't make you drowsy or anything like that, just an overall mellow feel thanks to ashwagandha. I really have enjoyed all of the flavors, but Raspberry Rose is my favorite. And only 40 calories!
I received a sample 4-pack to try, and I really enjoyed them! The flavors were delicious, and I loved that they were truly *lightly* carbonated- just the right amount of fizz for me. The handwritten note was such a thoughtful touch!
My favorite of the four was the Blueberry Lavender, and overall, I really liked the calming effect of the Unwind flavors. That said, I also appreciated the Uplift variants for their smooth, balanced energy. No spikes or crashes, just a steady boost.
Overall, I wouldn't purchase these online, as $83 for a 12-pack ($75 plus $8 shipping) is just too steep for me personally and the shipping cost seems like a lot for a 4-pack as well. However, if I came across the Blueberry Lavender at a café or grocery store, I’d absolutely pick one up again. It's a fantastic cocktail alternative!
Finally, functional drinks that taste as amazing as they make you feel!
My personal favorite is the Blueberry Lavender Unwind formula. It has such a unique flavor that gently helps me relax—perfect as a delicious alcohol alternative.
