eBoost - Energize & Revitalize!

The folks behind eBoost don't promote their energy beverage powder as a diet drink. But I'll be damned if it isn't. Imagine if you will a swankier version of Emergen-C with the kick of Red Bull, and perhaps a kick in the ass from that bull and you've got eBoost.

Me and two co-workers gave the stuff a go this morning. I am so not a morning person. I don't drink a lot of coffee, it gets cold on my desk before I can normally get a full cup down. I do, though, drink a lot of diet sodas. So knowing this morning I'd be giving the eBoost a test run, I gave myself a small allotment of caffeine just to ensure I would not get an evil caffeine headache. I'd say for the course of the day I have had the equivalent of one Diet Coke.

My co-worker used an eBoost powdered packet, and followed the directions to a T. She used 8 oz of water, and just did not like the taste. Please note she is a very picky vegan, and I was only able to coerce her into even trying the stuff because it contains no sugar. I tried to goad her into adding more water, but she wasn't having it. The other co-worker pocketed hers. Me, well I used a tablet, and mixed probably about 16 oz of water and ice, because I'm a rule breaker. It took a while to dissolve, but the diluted amount of the eBoost, which is effervescent tasted good to me. A mild orange taste, and with the ice was very refreshing.

Trust me, the dilution didn't affect the power of this stuff.

It is packed with various vitamins, heavy on the Bs, minerals, plus some herbal extracts, and Taurine, the stuff that puts the Red in Redbull. It does have a hefty dose of sodium, but so do most diet sodas. This stuff was obvious designed to recover from a hangover. I wasn't hungover, but I was sluggish.

Anyway, I was the office champ today, I was energized, but not jittery. It didn't even dawn on me until I go home that I had eaten very little today. Normally I am a big snacker. I took it around 10am, and it is about 8pm now and I still feel pretty good. Not wired, but not exhausted like I normally am after a busy day.

So back to the diet thing. Even though they're not hawking this stuff as a diet drink, I think it could be a good booster, no pun intended, to any diet regimen. Give it a go. It can be purchased at various boutiques, hotels and from their website, eBoost.com

PS. Next time I tie one on, I'm going for my eBoost vs. a greasy biscuit and a soda!
