The Drink: FRS Antioxidant Health Chews
Website: www.healthyenergy.com
The Promise: Chew a couple of these taffy-like candies and you’ll get all-day energy from healthy antioxidants (with no crash.)
Ingredients: Sugar, corn syrup, quercetin, green tea extract, caffeine, sucralose, (and a few vitamins.)
Taste: These things are kind of funny since they’re like candy. The texture is pretty good, like taffy.
The flavors are a bit odd though. There is lemon lime, orange, and pomegranate blueberry. The lemon lime and orange candies taste like their respective flavors of sports drinks, in solid form. They’re not too bad, but definitely not candy.
The pomegranate blueberry is the saving grace, with its “not so typical” flavor that is actually fruity.
Conclusion: I have a hard time believing these are “health chews” after seeing the ingredients. The first ingredients are sugar and corn syrup, and then there is even artificial sweetener thrown in!
There are vitamins and antioxidants in there, but actual fruits are a better way to get your antioxidants.
The energy boost is there, but short-lived (maybe an hour or so.) You should stick with the actual FRS liquid drink if you go for that.
