Newcomers to the world of energy drinks are coming thick and fast, and have done so for the last few years, and the trend is showing no signs of slowing down; in fact, the entries in the space appear to be getting more advanced and competitive. One of the latest to take on the energy drink category is Key, created by a pair of former executives from the beverage behemoth Cocoa-Cola, and while caffeine is one of its main ingredients, there is an intriguing twist to this one.
The all-new KEY energy drink relies on natural caffeine from green tea to provide its respectable 80mg of caffeine per can. Alongside that, the brand has theanine for a smoother energy effect as well as Avela ketones that claim to raise BHB levels in the body to experience the benefits of being in a state of ketosis. Avela goes on to further promote its star ingredient, mentioning some of those benefits, such as improved physical endurance, enhanced mental clarity, and better energy.
KEY energy drink comes with 11.5g of Avela’s ketones in one of its slim and sleek 12oz cans, which combines with the 80mg of natural caffeine to provide what sounds like a rather unique and intriguing energizing experience. There isn’t any sugar in the recently released beverage, but thanks to the ketones, there are some calories at 79 a drink, and that goes for all three of KEY’s fruit-filled flavors with Ginger Lime, Pineapple Passionfruit, and Grapefruit Peach.
The blend of ketones and caffeine in an energy drink isn’t new; in fact, it was something the innovator of Bang, Jack Owoc, put out into the market many years ago with the canned Meltdown drink featuring ketones, electrolytes, caffeine, and another stimulant in TeaCrine. If you’d like to give the product a try, you can grab a pack of 12 cans straight from drinkkey.com at $41.39 in your choice of flavor, or spend a bit more at $44.99 to get the variety pack and try the whole family.
