One of the best purchases. Flavours is so good and yummy.

4.5/5
Using as a pre and post workout (mountainbike/windsurf) drink and seems to aid in energy and recovery. Pineapple flavour isn’t too strong just right!
5/5
This is the best powdered Amino on the market in my opinion. Have tried a few others and only stick with this now.

5/5
Love this product. Tastes great
5/5
I've tried this as I got a mini tub for free from SprintFit. I was not too sure but ended up really liking it. I've used it for those strong lifting days where I need an extra push and drank it bedore and during workout. The flavour is strong but not too sweet (which I really liked).
5/5
Delicious and cheaper then buying the individual cans love it
5/5
This really works. It gives me the energy I need to have an awesome gym workout, and the flavor tastes great, too!
4/5
The Amino Energy peach lemonade is unique ,you can taste the artificial lemonade and some what peach, I find that the lemonade overpowers the peach. But there is a wide range of flavours to choose from.
4/5

Classified as disabled and not currently moving body massively, I only take 1 third what others normaly would. Still this product adds energy to be able to do more than otherwise could or would ! Though grape is good, would like to try different flavour too next time

Love this stuff. Fruit fusion my favourite. Makes you feel buzzy but not itchy. It's great before and after a work out. Highly recommend.
5/5
Really affordable with the larger tub especially being we all use Aminos in our whanau (Myself, hubby & our 4 sons). Super quick delivery! Order one day, you're using it the next!
5/5
Awesome product, amazing flavour!
5/5
Have been using SprintFit for a few years now for my supplement (that are all great quality and efficient) and is still surprised, each time, at the quick turn around on deliveries, even now through COVID! Thanks guys and keep up the good work!
5/5
Excellent product and a great drink to use during gym workouts. Love the pineapple flavor.
5/5
This is my favourite Aminos, every other brand hasn't come close in terms of flavour and drinkability. The grape flavour is my all-time fave.
5/5
First time I'd tried any Optimum Nutrition product. Tasted great, mixed well and I really liked the little caffeine boost. Sprint Fit were super quick at getting it to me as well. Highly recommend.
4/5
I think that it is a very trusted supplement and I have recommended for people to shop with you and I have got a lot of good things said back and it has a good input for my sport
5/5
I was so torn between this or the one with the electrolytes as I don't usually have these but these were definitely a great choice! Love the flavour, so refreshing and gives me the energy boost I need while working out.
5/5
Tasty, good level of energy - not hard core at all. I bought it to flavour my creatine the caffeine was an added bonus
5/5
Watermelon flavour is delish!
5/5
Amazing product, tastes delicious (especially seen as I usually don't like watermelon flavoured products), helps me have enough energy to get through back to back workouts.
5/5
Fast response and delivery next day. Big help with their great service in lockdown. Thank you

Great tasting powder for a pre-workout. Gives me a great energy hit and no tiresome post-workout comedown!
4.5/5
Tastes pretty good! definitely easy to drink, some of the other flavours may be too sweet but this one is definitely a good balance! Unfortunately cannot taste the peach, but still yum. Similar to powerade Yellow flavour.

This is my favourite, feels great and I get the extra get up
4/5
Love this product! Swapped to aminos from pre-workout as I'm just getting back into gym and didn't want to overload by body, and I actually prefer this. Also helps me focus on uni work hahaha. My boyfriend loves it also, who is a professional hammer thrower and has swapped energy drinks out with this and says it works even better!
5/5
Love this brand of Pre-Workout I have tried quite a few flavours and Watermelon is definitely a fave, not too sickly sweet, easy to mix and to drink. Amazing energy boost, helps me to focus while instructing my fitness class and give it lots of energy
4/5
Wow this stuff wakes you up. I can feel the thermogenic effects of this for at least a couple of hours afterwards. It doesn't mix very well, though, so needs a really good stir. Very very tasty though, just like diluting orange juice :)
5/5
So yummy, helped my body and mind work
5/5
Ordered Green Apple flavour which is tasty although quite sweet. Arrived quickly. Happy with purchase
5/5
Great flavour, not too sweet. Gives a sustainable energy boost with no crash which is great
5/5
My favourite amino acid source! So far tried 3 flavours and they’re all so good - I will have one almost every day. Have noticed that my muscles don’t get as sore when I do drink these, and it’s a good source of caffeine for when I don’t take pre workout.
5/5
Great product not sickly sweet. Perfect Energy boost Peach Lemonade is my favorite flavor, nice and refreshing.. second best is Pineapple
5/5
Pros - great taste - just enough sweetness - gets me through the day without tiring me - love it!
5/5
Pretty awesome clean energy, gives me that extra push I need for my 5am workouts. The energy lasts most of the day with a few scoops.
5/5
This product is my favourite all day drink and workout aid for energy and hydration, pre-workout is too much for me so this has been an awesome substitute great flavours, good price.

4/5
Strawberry flavour is delicious but, strong so I use 1 scoop per litre. Love this for pre workout
5/5
Since finding Optimum Nutrition's Amino Energy product I have never ever looked at another BCAA product again. As a non-coffee drinker this is a perfect pick me up in the morning that is healthy and compliments my gym training. I cannot rave about this product enough and order it every month! The tub has a very generous serving size too!
5/5
Excellent product. Have noticed a big difference, and have recommended it to friends.
4.5/5
These Amino acids are fantastic before and after a workout. The fruit fusion is my favourite but the flavours are all good. I was ordering these at much greater expense from overseas so was thrilled to find them in NZ. Delivery is always prompt!
