Amino Energy Powder, Orange, 9.5 Oz | Anytime Energy Powder with BCAAs, Amino Acids, Caffeine from Green Tea & Coffee Beans, Keto Friendly, Muscle Recovery Support

I’ve tried a lot of pre-workout powders and energy supplements, and Optimum Nutrition Amino Energy in the Orange Cooler flavor has become one of my absolute favorites. It delivers clean energy, tastes great, and includes key ingredients that support both focus and muscle recovery. TASTE & TEXTURE: The Orange Cooler flavor tastes just like a refreshing citrus drink—somewhere between orange soda and natural orange juice, without being too sweet or artificial. It mixes smoothly in water with no clumps or gritty texture. There’s no chalky or powdery residue left behind, even if you don’t use a blender bottle. SMELL: The scent is bright and natural. When you open the container, it smells like freshly peeled oranges—very inviting without being overpowering. PERFORMANCE: I use this both before workouts and during long workdays when I need a mental and physical boost. The combination of caffeine from green tea and green coffee extract gives a smooth, clean energy lift without any crash or jitters. It’s great for focus and endurance and doesn’t make me feel overstimulated. Because it’s keto-friendly and low-calorie, it fits into my nutrition plan without issues. INGREDIENTS: Each serving contains: • Micronized Amino Acids (including BCAAs) • 100 mg of caffeine from green tea and green coffee extract • No sugar • Just 10 calories per serving These ingredients support muscle recovery, energy, and focus. I also like that there are no unnecessary fillers. SIZE, SERVINGS & PACKAGING: You get 65 servings per container, which makes this a great value for the price. I usually use 1–2 scoops per day, so one tub lasts well over a month. The packaging is durable with a tight-sealing lid that keeps the powder fresh and dry. It’s compact enough to store in a gym bag or cabinet. MADE IN THE USA: It’s reassuring to know this is made in the USA by a trusted brand. Optimum Nutrition is well-known for quality, and this product lives up to that reputation. FINAL THOUGHTS: Whether you need energy before the gym, a mental boost in the afternoon, or amino acids for muscle support, this product does it all. Great taste, clean ingredients, and a long-lasting supply. I’ll definitely be repurchasing this. #AmazonFinds #OptimumNutrition #AminoEnergy #PreWorkout #EnergyPowder #BCAA #GreenTeaExtract #GreenCoffeeExtract #KetoFriendly #FitnessSupplements #MadeInUSA #WorkoutFuel #HealthSupport #GymEssentials

I’ve tried watermelon, pineapple, and sherbet, but orange is my absolute favorite flavor. It doesn’t make me jittery. This stuff is better than the energy drinks I’ve tried!

First, I am not a body builder, but I do workout hard and a lot. I have found this product helps with muscle recovery. This is due to many of the amino acids in the product which are part of the AMIN.O. ENERGY name. Here's the gist of the ingredients per serving size which is 2 small scoops (9 grams): Amino Acids: Taurine, Glutamine, Arginine, Leucine, Beta Alanine, Citrulline, Valine, and more... Energy Stuff: Caffeine, Green Tea Extract, Green Coffee Extract (Not all the amino acids are used for recovery. For example, arginine/citrulline are used for nitric oxide production -- the N.O. in the name.) I see a lot of reviews on the other flavors of this product saying it did not give the intense workout compared to some other products. I might surmise that it is because this is more of an "all purpose" product targeted to many sports. One thing it doesn't have is creatine which I consider a must-have as a pre-weight lifting supplement. So, if you use this as such, you should consider adding a creatine (or kre-alkalyn) supplement. I see it's main competitor as Scivation's Xtend, which is a very good product as well. The cost, the serving size, the recommended usage/doses, even the bottle are similarly shaped. One main difference is that Xtend is all recovery amino acids (10 grams) while the AMIN.O. ENERGY has less than half that amount because of the other "stuff". Because of that, the recovery benefits are not as good. So, the other stuff in AMIN.O. ENERGY makes it more all-purpose but less focused. If you are not weight lifting, then you probably don't want the creatine anyway. With the other "stuff", it makes a good (but not great) all-purpose * pre-exercise, * endurance, and * recovery supplement. If you lift weights and use another pre-workout drink (for example, I really like the Cytosport Fast Twitch which includes creatine and some of the other "stuff" as well), then many of the non-recovery amino acid ingredients are redundant. Also, the caffeine (100mg per serving) makes it less suitable for a late evening (after work) supplement. What I have found is that AMIN.O. ENERGY makes a great energy drink a couple times during the day. It also use it as an in-between recovery booster. Then, I use Xtend as a more focused recovery product when I workout (along with other more focused products). Another difference between this and Xtend is that this dissolves vastly more easily than Xtend. It is realistic to dissolve this in a glass of cold water in a couple minutes whereas Xtend will take 1 or 2 days. Dissolving Xtend in even hot water is not easy. So, this one is much easier to make a quick pick-me-up energy drink (at only 10 calories, too). Finally, I think the taste of the orange is really good. I have used full containers of all three flavors: orange, grape, and fruit, but this one is the best partly because the amino acids are a bit on the bitter side, and this hides it better than the other flavors. I also use this to mix with CytoSport's Fast Twitch lemonade which, by itself, tastes pretty fair and is caffeine-free. That gives me a good-tasting supercharged pre-workout drink. My only gripe (no star deductions) is that the price of this can vary wildly, so pay attention. You can also get it on other sites cheaper at times. The price is very volatile.

Doesn’t taste orange. But works fine for me.

Amino energy is a great product but has its pros and cons. First, there are a variety of flavors. The orange cooler is one of the better flavors in my opinion, along with watermelon. Fruit fusion and grape taste ok but to me those flavors get "old" pretty quick to my taste buds. I get almost instant energy out of this product. I've used several pre-workouts and although I wouldn't consider this a pre-workout, I use it for one. It gives me a great pep to my step and makes me well alert; hence why I use it for pre workouts as well as for during the day when I have that afternoon slump. I've also replaced drinking coffee with amino energy when I don't have time to make coffee. It really does give me more energy at the gym, but just like anything you take--after a while it tends to have no effect. I lay off the product for a couple weeks and begin taking it again. It's good to cycle off anyway. I am not a huge fan of all the artificial ingredients. You can tell the grape especially is a deep deep purple so I'd stay away from that if you're wanting less "artificial" or chemicals. The product I've noticed does become stale if you don't use it within a couple months of opening it...that's what I get for buying too many flavors at once to try! All in all - good product to keep you awake and alert and to use for a pre-workout. I don't crash on this like I have other caffeinated products. I do however have trouble sleeping at night if taken past 6pm (more than 2 scoops). If you're looking for a mild (not a knock you on your butt) type of product, this is for you!

One of my favorite things about it is the flavor—it’s GREAT. Not overly sweet or artificial, just really enjoyable to drink, which honestly makes me look forward to using it.

I have been using Optimum Nutrition Amino Energy for a few months now and I love it. It is a great pre-workout and energy booster that helps me get through my workouts and my day. It has a delicious fruit fusion flavor that mixes well with water and tastes refreshing. I like that it has green tea and green coffee extracts that provide natural caffeine and antioxidants. It also has BCAA and amino acids that support muscle recovery and endurance. It is keto friendly and has zero sugar, which means I can still take when I am intermittent fasting if I need a pick me up in the morning. I usually take two scoops before my workout and I feel energized and focused. It does not make me jittery or crash like some other pre-workouts. It also helps me with my appetite control and hydration. I sometimes take another scoop in the afternoon when I need a pick-me-up. I would highly recommend this product to anyone who is looking for a pre-workout and energy supplement that is natural, effective, and tasty. It is one of the best products I have tried from Optimum Nutrition and I will definitely buy it again.

It tastes good and doesn’t give me energy drink jitters but definitely gives me energy. I have noticed a definite improvement in recovery after starting to use this product. Way better than store bought energy drinks and hell of a lot cheaper.

Très bon produit très qualitatif, le goût à l'orange est assez bon, je le prend pendant ma séance, très agréable à boire et apporte les nutriments dont le corps à besoins pour la séance et récupération

Ik schreef over de voordelen van het product dat ik kocht

Para más energía, esta bien. Sabroso también.

Good stuff, not as good as a pre workout but helps you stay focused!

ON products tend to be on the pricier side but this is still great value. Useful for training or leisure purposes, not too sweet either.
