Pros and cons
Sparkling Energy Drink – Crisp Apple (12 oz, 12-Pack)
- 180 mg caffeine per can is a well-studied, effective dose for alertness
- 10 calories, 0 g sugar and no artificial colors or aspartame
- L-theanine alongside caffeine is a combination with supportive research for calm focus
- Buyers and creators consistently describe the flavor as sparkling apple cider rather than candy-sweet
- Full ingredient list published, with no proprietary blend named on the can
- Amounts of L-theanine, taurine, ginseng and prebiotic fiber are not disclosed anywhere on the label
- Nutrition panel shows 0 g dietary fiber despite the prebiotic marketing
- Sweetened with sucralose, which some drinkers taste as an aftertaste
- Seasonal limited edition, so stock and pricing fluctuate; 180 mg caffeine is a lot for sensitive drinkers
Mushroom Coffee
- Only 48 mg caffeine per medium-roast cup, about half a regular coffee
- USDA Organic, vegan, gluten-free and no sugar
- Prebiotic fibers (acacia, inulin, tapioca) add a little fiber
- Large, mostly satisfied buyer base (4.6 stars from 6,700+ TikTok Shop reviews)
- About 2 g of six mushrooms per serving, with undisclosed individual amounts far below studied doses
- About $1.50 per cup, several times the cost of regular coffee
- Human evidence for mushroom benefits on energy and focus is weak
- No published third-party contaminant testing found
Our verdicts
Sparkling Energy Drink – Crisp Apple (12 oz, 12-Pack)
As an energy drink this does the one thing that matters: 180 mg of caffeine with L-theanine for a smoother lift, at 10 calories and no sugar. The supporting cast — prebiotic fiber, ginseng, apple cider vinegar — is present in undisclosed and probably token amounts, so treat the gut-health and metabolism messaging as marketing rather than a reason to buy. Worth it if you like the cider-style flavor and want a zero-sugar caffeine hit; skip it if you are caffeine-sensitive or avoid sucralose.

Mushroom Coffee
RYZE is a pleasant, lower-caffeine coffee alternative, and that alone may justify it for jittery coffee drinkers. As a functional product it is overhyped: the undisclosed six-mushroom blend is too small and too diluted to expect the benefits its marketing implies, and you pay a steep premium per cup.
