I recently tried Tru Energy Seltzer in the Orange Mango flavor and it has quickly earned a spot in my holiday survival lineup. With a never-ending to-do list this time of year, a refreshing natural caffeine boost is a must. At only 10 calories per can plus green tea and B-vitamins, I was excited to crack it open. The fruity citrus taste is bright without being overly sweet. I especially enjoy the crisp sparkle and this beverage is definitely best served cold. It gives me that extra pep in my step without the jitters. And with just 2 grams of sugar, it’s not a dealbreaker in the slightest. Although a little pricy, this enhanced sparkling beverage is perfect for keeping the holiday magic and energy flowing. I will now have to try the other varieties available.

The **Tru Orange Mango Seltzer** is an absolute game-changer in the world of functional beverages, brilliantly combining exceptional flavor with clean energy delivery. The taste profile is a pure tropical delight: you get a bright, zesty burst of orange that is perfectly complemented by the smooth, authentic sweetness of ripe mango. It tastes like a clean, crisp, and slightly tart tropical juice blend, but remarkably manages this with zero sugar, only 10 calories, and no artificial sweeteners. It avoids the common chemical aftertaste found in other diet or energy drinks, making it genuinely refreshing and easy to enjoy any time of day. Beyond the fantastic flavor, what truly makes this seltzer stand out is the functional boost it provides. The combination of 100mg of natural caffeine (sourced from green tea extract) and B vitamins delivers a **smooth, consistent energy lift** without the typical jitters or abrupt crash associated with traditional energy drinks. It's the perfect solution for powering through a midday slump, fueling a pre-workout session, or simply replacing sugary sodas with a much healthier, delicious, and effective option. If you are searching for a functional sparkling drink that is both delicious and delivers clean energy, the Tru Orange Mango Seltzer is a five-star winner.

I’ve been looking for a cleaner alternative to coffee and heavy energy drinks, and these Tru drinks really fit the bill . I usually get tired after lunch, but drinking one of these with lunch helps me wake up and get moving without the jitters, or a crash later on. I think the B vitamins really help with my energy. The drinks are lightly carbonated and taste like real juice with a bit of a sparkle. I love that it’s sweetened with natural stevia so the drink is low calorie. I've been looking to expand my stevia intake from just Zevia, and this is a great inclusion, as it tastes less like a chemically soda and more like a juice. I got the orange mango flavor this time, and it was good blend, not too citrusy and definitely you can taste the mango flavor. I intend to try some more flavors in the future

Tru Energy Seltzer is a standout! It has surpassed my skeptical view of seltzers. The Orange Mango flavor is exceptionally well-executed, its not a sickly sweet off putting fake mango or orange flavor. Its more natural and offers a perfect balance of flavor and carbonation without being overly sweet. I genuinely enjoy the taste, placing it above most other energy drinks on the market. I love that the energy is natural, providing sustained focus and no sugary crash like the typical energy drink does. This was definitively a purchase worth making. Based on the superior taste, clean energy delivery, and compatibility with dietary sensitivities, I plan to explore and purchase other flavors in the Tru Energy Seltzer line.

I recently picked up the new Orange Mango Sparkling Energy Drink, and honestly, it’s a game-changer. I'm usually wary of fruit-flavored energy drinks, which often taste artificial, but this one hits the flavor balance absolutely perfectly. From the first sip, you get a burst of sweet, ripe mango followed by a sharp, zesty finish of natural orange—it’s like liquid sunshine. The sparkling quality is just right, providing a crisp, effervescent texture that makes it incredibly refreshing without being overly carbonated or foamy. It truly feels premium. As for the energy, it delivered a clean, steady lift. There were no jitters, no sudden crash, just a smooth wave of focus and motivation that powered me through my mid-afternoon slump. It’s light, vibrant, and genuinely delicious. If you're looking for a tropical escape in a can that also provides effective, clean energy, look no further. This is my new favorite pick-me-up! Highly recommend!

This has a really refreshing flavor that I will be ordering again. It's not too tart. The orange, mango, and green tea combination creates a hint of a grapefruit taste. It was a perfect pick-me-up for the afternoon slump as I noticed a definite energy boost. This is good on its own, but would also be a nice addition to a mixed drink.

Maybe I got a bad batch but one of the biggest issues I had with this energy seltzer was that it lacked carbonation. There was a little carbonation, but it was mostly flat Other than the issue with a lack of carbonation, the drink itself was reminiscent of cold fruit flavored water. I could taste the mild bitterness of the orange and the mild sweetness of the mango. The 100mg of caffeine gave me quite a bit of energy and no crash afterwards. Overall, the drink was good and effective, but my main issue was the lack of carbonation

I’m usually not a fan of juice mixed with seltzer/sparkling water, but this wasn’t bad at all. The quality was more juice than seltzer so you don’t get much of a fizz which I do enjoy. Not sugary at all and barely an aftertaste. However, it gets the job done! I didn’t have a jittery feeling or have a quick crash like I usually do with energy drinks. It gave me enough energy throughout the day without feeling hyper all day. Would buy again
