Energy Drink

Breakdown

5 ingredients to avoid

Prime Energy Drink scores 15/100 on Tallow — our avoid band. That number comes from what is on the label: the ingredients, how processed it is, and what it is packaged in. It is not a verdict on your diet — Tallow does not weigh calories, portion size or how often you eat it, so a high score means the ingredients are clean, not that the food is unlimited.

Prime Energy Drink lists 16 ingredients, starting with Carbonated Water, Citric Acid, Dipotassium Phosphate, Magnesium Citrate and Caffeine. Ingredients are listed in descending order by weight, so the first few make up most of what you are eating.

At 15/100 Prime Energy Drink scores worse than most energy drinks we have scored. A higher-scoring option in energy drinks is Clean Simple Eats Energy + Focus Energy Drink, Lava Tropic, 12 fl oz at 39/100.
