Disclosure: This review is brought to you via a Campaign with Fit Approach and Pure LYFT. I was provided with product samples free of charge in exchange for my honest review – and that is what this is – I never review something I don’t honestly like!
Oh caffeine. I bow to those of you who find a way to live without a little caffeine now and again. While I’m certainly not a big coffee drinker there are days when that caffeine boost is certainly necessary. Especially as a fitness instructor who teaches classes morning, (after)noon and night. Sometimes a girl just needs something to help her get through the day!
I’m not a big green tea drinker (in fact, I need to mix it with an herbal tea just to make the taste palatable) so coffee tends to be my caffeine of choice, so when the chance came up to try Pure LYFT, an energy stick you can add to water for an added caffeine “jolt” I was game to give it a try.
From their website:
LYFT® Energy Stir Sticks are a zero calorie, “Clean Caffeine”™ energy product infused with all natural caffeine derived from green coffee bean extract with vitamins A and B complex that can be used with any beverage to provide a sophisticated energy experience with a clean taste.
While they clearly indicate you can use it with any beverage, I decided to go old school and add my samples to water to see if it really does taste “clean”. Using them is super easy, you get your drink of choice, peel off the outside label to expose the product inside
pop it into your glass and stir for 10 seconds (cue action shot 😉 )
and then drink!
easy. peasy. And guess what? You really can’t taste it at all. In fact, if I hadn’t seen the substance dissolve while I was stirring it I wouldn’t believe there was anything in there! The caffeine in one LYFT stick is equivalent to the amount in one large coffee, and since I’m actually awake right now after waking up feeling like the living dead I think that is probably accurate 😉
These would be so awesome to carry in your purse for when you are on the go! You feel a mid-afternoon slump coming on, you can pop one out and mix it with water to get a clean jolt of energy!
Don’t believe me? Well I just so happened to notice that PureLYFT is offering a 2-pack sample to everyone (US addresses only) who signs up for the email newsletter! If you visit their Facebook page you can see how to request your samples if the first link doesn’t work for you. Enjoy!
