It’s good to see that energy drink brands have become a little more health-conscious over the decades. We’ve had no sugar variations for a long time, but most of the promotional or new flavours have still been full of sugar.

The V Refresh Range has brought me back into trying their products after not buying any for decades (I prefer Red Bull). With a great range of interesting flavours, such as Pineapple & Watermelon and Green Apple Lemonade, these flavours are fun and interesting and might be something someone wants to drink, not just to gain energy from.

V Refresh Watermelon & Pineapple

I tried this one first. There is a strong pineapple flavour here; I can’t really taste the watermelon itself, but you can tell it’s not purely a pineapple-flavoured drink. It is very nice, and if it were a regular soft drink, I’d have no problem drinking more than 250ml of it at a time, such as from a larger bottle and into a glass with a meal. I recommend this flavour of V to anyone looking for something low in calories with zero sugar to help keep their focus and energy up.
