This time Alani Nu teams up with Whitney Simmons for this Blue Slush Energy Drink. The flavor is from before except the can gets a complete makeover along with some minor ingredient changes. However, this flavor tastes like everything besides a slushie. Sure, it has the name slush in it but just doesn’t really taste like one. Regardless of that, the flavor is still tasting great and feels good when you drink it.

Blue Slush Energy Drink

It tastes like blue raspberries with a touch of vanilla but in a very salty taste. You could really grasp the salt and almost feels like you are swimming in the salty waters with the sharks. Well, maybe not exactly there with the sharks but has that summer tone of taste. You can also feel the gas in this beverage as it is pretty strong.

Before & After

Ingredients wise the old Blue Slush had Gum Acacia and the new can doesn’t. Other than that everything else in the ingredients are the same. However, some differences in the nutritional facts. For example, before it was 170 Sodium and now it is 180. Old can has calcium of 1.2mg which the new one doesn’t mention anything about it. The old can also has potassium of 20mg and the new can doesn’t mention anything of it. Just to mention old can has 4g of total carbohydrate while the new one has 3g. Everything else pretty much the same.

I tried both and they both tasted pretty much the same to me. However, I tried them in separate days and not together.

Caffeine & Sweets 

  • Drink has 200mg of caffeine which is just above and beyond what I would recommend. I really suggest not passing 160mg caffeine when it comes to energy drinks. This way it’s better to feel safe rather than sorry. However, of course everyone’s ratio can vary depending on the lifestyle circumstances.
  • Erythritol, Sucralose & Acesulfame Potassium which are the 3 sweeteners I don’t trust. At the same time, I don’t trust sugar either, but I would recommend natural sweeteners like monk fruit or stevia leaf extract.

Overall 

I absolutely love the can makeover, and the taste is just amazing. However, it passes 160mg caffeine and has artificial sweeteners along with preservatives. Great taste which I also would prefer in size 16 Fl Oz instead of 12 just to enjoy it more. This beverage reminded me of Kim Kardashian’s KIMADE by Alani Nu.
