Wanted to try an energy drink since I usually never drink them but didn’t want one with tons of sugar etc but also didn’t taste terrible. This would just be a once in a great while occasion.

    Zero sugar “energy drink”? Does that even exist?

    I’m thinking, “pasta water”. Like, save the water you cook pasta in (which tastes like… liquefied plain pasta aka not much of anything haha), add some zero-sugar flavoring (e.g. some of that Kool-Aid grape stuff you’re supposed to dump in bottles of water), and voila! Zero sugar energy drink that tastes like grape pasta *but actually gives you long-term energy from all those starches/complex carbohydrates 👍

      Most of the new ones have zero sugar. The sugary ones cause people to crash after using them, so the newer ones all have sucralose for sweetener.
