Hooah! Fruit Punch Energy Drink Review

Hooah Soldier Fuel Fruit Punch is the marine energy drink of choice. Okay I don't know if that is true, but I do know that Hooah is the marine battle cry and I have been watching Generation Kill on HBO so I am ready to try the other flavor of Hooah after trying Lemon Lime several months ago. I have to say that after watching Generation Kill I have even greater respect for the marines. Those guys are tough as nails, go into nasty situations, and still keep a great attitude about things. If Hooah Energy Drink can help me keep that kind of an outlook on life than it will be money well spent.

Hooah Fruit Punch Energy Drink is a non-carbonated beverage just like the lemon lime flavor of Hooah. The flavor is almost instantly recognizable as a slightly thinner version of Hawaiian Punch. The punch flavor comes across not as a tropical mix, but as a melding of lots of cherry with minimal orange, grape, and pineapple. This is a drink that has a very rich finish to it and a thick nature. It's a solid flavor, although not spectacular.

Hooah Energy Drink's main premise is to give long-term energy with no spike and no crash. It performed as promised with no spike and no crash, but didn't really give me a boost either. I think Hooah just needs to stop calling itself an energy drink. What this drink really is, is a long-term calorie replacement drink. In a calorie replacement drink you want to make sure you don't get jittery or a massive sugar rush that elevates your blood sugars and then turns to fat. What you want is something that slowly keeps your blood sugars stable and therefore keeps you humming at maximum efficiency. I believe that Hooah does that through its patented formula of maltodextrin, dextrose, fructose, citric acid, Vitamin C, and sucralose. Hooah Fruit Punch has 160 calories, and 41 carbs, but the interesting thing is that of those carbs only 12 grams are sugar which prevents the spike and crash. I can see how having that stable supply of energy calories would be important and think Hooah stands up fine on that front.
