![]() Poon notes that many energy drinks contain a lot of added sugar, which tacks on unnecessary calories and if consumed regularly can contribute to chronic illness. That high sugar content in Red Bull is one reason consumers should be wary of energy drinks, says celebrity chef, certified nutritionist and Reiki master Serena Poon, when I asked her. Red Bull’s original flavor is sweetened with regular sugar, while Celsius is sweetened with a blend of artificial sweeteners like stevia, erythritol and sucralose. Right off the bat, the most glaring difference is in the sugar content. ![]() Our drinks contain no sugar, no aspartame, no high fructose corn syrup, and no artificial preservatives, colors, or flavors.” Celsius also describes itself as a healthy energy drink, writing on its site, “CELSIUS stands out against other brands because it’s made with healthier ingredients such as ginger, guarana, green tea and 7 essential vitamins. The clean, white can features illustrations of the fruits supposedly in the flavors, and the brand has aligned itself with an army of ultra-fit, ultra-beautiful influencers whose job it is to make consumers believe that if the drank Celsius too, they might get one step closer to looking like said influencers. What sets Celsius apart from the pack, from my perspective, is its branding. I’m partial to the orange flavor, but I’ve since tried-and liked-the kiwi guava and raspberry acai as well. Celsius, on the other hand, is delicious. Now, I’ve choked down a Red Bull or two in my day, and while the flavor doesn’t grate on me as much as it does on others, I’m fully aware of the fact that it tastes like battery acid. Upsettingly susceptible to celebrity suggestion, I headed to my nearest CVS and picked up two flavors: sparkling orange and watermelon. At that point I had seen Celsius in a handful of TikTok videos, but I wasn’t super aware of the brand.
