Okay, so I've been on this weird journey trying to find a decent caffeine source that doesn't make me feel like I'm poisoning myself. Enter True Lemon Energy packets - these little lifesavers have become my daily ritual!

The blackberry pomegranate flavor is legit delicious. It's like summer in a packet, but with 120mg of caffeine (from green tea!) to keep me from turning into a zombie at 3pm. Zero calories? Check. No artificial crap? Double check.

Pro tip: The stevia aftertaste is real, but I combat it by using way more water than recommended (like 26oz instead of 16oz) and adding an extra lemon packet. Game changer!

Mixing can be tricky - invest in a blender bottle unless you enjoy drinking powdery clumps. Worth the extra step though when you consider you're getting clean energy without the sugar crash or weird chemicals.

Price-wise, they're not the cheapest, but when I compare to what I used to spend on fancy bottled energy drinks? Total bargain. Plus my kids steal the non-caffeinated versions from me, so bonus points for being family-approved!
