Syzmo Prickly Pear is an organic energy drink that reviews say tastes good and delivers a strong energy boost. A 12-ounce can has a little more caffeine than an average cup of coffee; there's no refined sugar, but it still contains 42 grams of sugar from fruit juice and blue agave. Most reviewers like the taste, even at 144 calories per can. Several reviewers appreciate that this is a natural product, but it's expensive and harder to find in stores than other energy drinks.
We found detailed reviews for Syzmo Prickly Pear on blogs that focus on rating energy drinks, where bloggers compare its taste and energy kick with the competition. We also found good reviews at BevNet.com, where the writeup focuses more on taste and packaging than assessing the energy boost.
