Not a fan of Monk Fruit
I've reviewed a lot of pre-workout supplements over the years and I'm always amazed by how few of them want to admit that their primary boost is caffeine. The next question is how much caffeine is included, which they almost never acknowledge in light of the daily recommended amount (400 milligrams, in case you're wondering). Tattle gets props for listing the amount in the ingredients.<br /><br />130 mg for one scoop is a little more than one-fourth of what's healthy for you, so this is a significant boost -- not counting any tea or coffee or soda you drink during the day. I'm sensitive to caffeine so I only take a teaspoon and that's plenty of energy for me.<br /><br />The bigger problem is how dry it tastes. I'm guessing it's the "dash of Monk Fruit for a tart, berry flavor." I'm not a fan. Still, I mix it with the rest of my shake in the morning and although the taste was initially a shock I've gotten over it.
