While I'm not a protein shake kinda guy — I usually walk right past them at the gym — I have to admit that Oh Yeah! Chocolate Milkshake was a delightful experience that surprised me. If you are looking for a tasty ready-to-drink nutritional option, I'd put this flavor into consideration.

Jones GABA Fuji Apple is a unique combination of both fruit juice and tea. The flavor was subtle at times, bold at others. The apple taste complimented the tea surprisingly well, producing a beverage that wasn't only refreshing, but also had the potential for various functional benefits.

Drank is a functional beverage that claims to produce a calming effect through the unique inclusion of melatonin, valerian root, and rose hips. With a light grape flavor and overtly sweet taste, the concept is unique. Unfortunately, I personally didn't experience the relaxing influence that the can proclaimed, however your mileage may vary.

Looking for a "vacation in a bottle"? ViB Chill-N claims to deliver that via a lightly carbonated, pomegranate sparkling beverage. The taste is actually quite fruity and good, only hampered by the inclusion of artificial sweeteners mixed along with cane sugar. Overall, a solid taste, but I worry that the confusing marketing approach and below-par packaging design may hurt its chances.

Tava is basically a fruit-flavored soft drink from Pepsi, marketed as a nutrient-enhanced sparkling beverage. The branding and design position it as a drink ideal for those living a health/wellness lifestyle, and the "0 calories, 0 sugar, 0 caffeine" seems to support that. For a diet drink sweetened with aspertame and Ace-K, the Mediterranean Fiesta flavor actually wasn't too bad!

Underneath the marketing hype of "Diet Coke with vitamins," this beverage review reveals that Diet Coke Plus is actually an entirely different formulation. The use of sweeteners similar to Coke Zero makes it better than original Diet Coke.
