G Fuel, won't kill you: an unboxing

Because of my allergies & everything else, I have to be 
(or I'm supposed to be.....)
 very careful about what I eat & drink.
But, I 'm finding in my old age that I need a 
little bit of something
 in the morning to get up & running.
  & of course there is a lengthy list of traditional morning bev that are on the No-No list 
& for the most part I choose to ignore it,
 fall off the wagon & feel like death.

Sometimes, I try to get on the wagon
 & go for the current fad coffee replacement 
& those have  tried to kill me too......

After trying one of those well know peppy drink mixes this summer & feeling like my heart was going to beat out of my chest, both from caffeine & price, I decided there had to be a better way! 

So, I did what I do.

I googled.

I amazon-ed. 

I read reviews. 

& I found.......



It's funny to me that after all these months, after finally liking all their social media, the G in G Fuel, stands for GAMER! 

If you know me, you know I fairly well loathe video gaming  It's a bad word.

So, I'm going to dwell in my ignorance 
& pretend the G stands for GREAT.

The short version of a long story that gets us to the point: my most recent amazon order got lifted off my porch. I was sad. 
I emailed GFuel, because amazon was being 
shady about fixing stuff. 
& they sent me a replacement order, & some groovy samples! 


It comes in a boring brown box.



with boring brown paper.

There are no frills, & this is clearly not marketed to girly-girls.
No floofed sparkly tissue to be seen.
I do like that all the packaging is super 100% recyclable 
& not wax/paperboard.





These 40 serving tubs retail for about $35, which if you do the math is less than $1/serving.

(you can make a custom sample box to try flavors, 
or have handy single serves)

I couldn't get a good picture, but the included scoop has a built in funnel so you don't spill it everywhere if you are adding to a bottle of H2O.

What I enjoy the most, besides their excellent customer service, is the taste! 

We can all agree that sometimes "supplements" can be chalky & have a horrible after taste.
OF the 5 flavors I've tried, 
I'd have to say I agree with the reviews 
that compare the taste to Jolly Ranchers.
They offer a wide variety of delicious & popular favorites- some caffeinated & some not.
There is something for everyone. 

& I am super excited that the artificial sweeteners used don't give me a raging headache.
