I had a chance to review Celsius®, Your Calorie Reducing Drink™, which bills itself as a "negative calorie drink." The company has done clinical studies that drinking Celsius before exercise boosts metabolism, increasing the amount of calories burned. It does this with their special blend of ingredients called MetaPlus®, which combines ingredients such as green tea, ginger, calcium, caffeine, guarana, and vitamins B and C.
Celsius comes in eight flavors: Apple Orchard Blend; Sparking Orange, Wild Berry, and Cola; and Non-Carbonated Green Tea Raspberry Acai, Lemon Iced Tea, Strawberry Kiwi, and Outrageous Orange. You can also get "on-the-go" packets to mix with water anywhere.
While I can't speak to the calorie-reducing effects (i didn't conduct my own studies), I can say that they sent me a white paper with the clinical studies; you can also check out the science behind Celsius® on their website. I can, however, let you know how I felt about the taste.
I'm not a big fan of carbonated drinks in general, and I really don't like cola. My husband tried the cola drink, and it was fine - every cola has a little bit different taste, so if you're expecting your favorite brand, it probably won't match up, but if you just think of it as a different cola, you'll be fine. I was most worried about the green tea flavor, since I also don't like tea, but with the raspberry acai flavors, I had no problem drinking that. The other flavors were good, especially strawberry kiwi. What I really liked is that there are no artificial flavors, colors, or preservatives, and no sugar either.
If you're interested in trying it out, you can find it at a variety of stores, including Cub, Costco, Meijer, Publix, Winn Dixie, and more. Use the store locator to find a location near you.
Disclosure: I received samples of Celsius® to facilitate this review.
