Why use a Pre-Workout Drink?
Maybe you’ve heard about pre-workout supplements or Beachbody Energize before but don’t really know how it works, or maybe you’ve seen that pink magic I drink on my Instagram. Either way, you’re curious! Why is everyone into pre-workout?
Pre-workout supplements are designed to give the body and brain a “boost” prior to a workout. Let’s be real. We’ve all felt sluggish before a workout or have had a hard time getting into the workout mood. But not everything that gives you energy is good for you. There are so many energy drinks on the market that are filled with sugar. And no one wants a sugar crash after doing a hard workout.
Seriously, I used to roll my eyes toward workout supplements. I just didn’t see their value. But when I started working out 4-6 days a week, I sometimes needed help getting past those sluggish moments. Especially when I felt crunched for time and just needed to get a good workout done quickly.

I’ve tried a TON of pre-workouts thanks to getting a bunch of free samples from a local sports nutrition store. I’m not going to list them because to be quite honest, they were all terrible. Like had to spit one out kind of terrible. And the sweetness! Every single one was as sweet as Kool-Aid.
After tasting what pre-workout supplements were available in stores, I decided to give Beachbody Energize a try. And again, if you follow my Instagram, you know I became obsessed!

How Does Energize Work
Think of coffee but without the caffeine crash.
The two important ingredients in Energize, beta-alanine and quercetin, work to delay muscle fatigue brought on by exercise. It doesn’t matter what type of exercise you’re doing, Energize will keep your muscles going strong throughout your workout. The energy boost comes from a low-does of caffeine derived from green tea.
How To Use Beachbody Energize
For best results, Energize should be consumed 30 minutes before your workout. But personally, both my husband and I use Energize instead of energy drinks whenever we feel that we need a pick-me-up. I also tend to use Beachbody Energize throughout my workout, especially if I’m doing a 45+ minute workout.
What Does It Taste Like?
Energize comes in two flavors, Lemon and Fruit Punch. And they are both addictively delicious.
For starters, the drink has a light sweetness which is amazing compared to all the other overly sweet pre-workouts on the market. The lemon especially is a delicious combination of sweet and tart.
The fruit punch flavor is what is always found in my cupboard. Seriously, I always have Energize on-hand. It tastes exactly as fruit punch should and is lightly sweet. Honestly, I have yet to meet anyone who doesn’t love the Energize flavors.
Why Are They Yellow?
So when I got my first tub of Energize I remember opening and going, “That is yellow“. And for a few minutes, I questioned their “no artificial ingredients” claim. But a quick google search gave me my answer which I will share with you. Turns out quercetin (that ingredient mentioned above) is naturally a very bright yellow.
What about the fruit punch?
It looks yellow in the container but turns a delicious pink once mixed with water. Again, the yellow comes from the quercetin and is 100% natural.
