Has anyone who has drank Monster tried this and how are they alike and different?

Also wanted to add what might be obvious, but might not. Monster (at least all of the flavors that I have tried) are carbonated and basically similar to soda. This is not carbonated and is much more like drinking juice. I find the Strawberry Banana OK tasting. Doesn't really taste like Strawberry or Banana, but also doesn't taste like vegetable juice either. I strongly prefer a soda energy drink, I just tried this because it was juice - but a closer examination shows that it is only 50% juice, so not as healthy as one might think. I will keep looking.

3 weeks ago this was 12.84$ form Amazon. I believe these sellers are gouging.

Why are these hard to get now? They are always on back order.

I don't know why but they were a lot cheaper too. I want to reorder but before I was paying about 50 cents a can and now they are over a dollar a can. Supply and demand. I suppose they became popular and everyone started buying, so prices went up and it's hard to get them. I guess I'll make at home smoothie??

How much caffiene per can?

It contains green tree extract with natural caffeine. I don't see where it lists the exact amount. The label shows 20% B12 and 20% B6. It doesn't give you the jitters like a one hour energy shot. I just don't feel sleepy after drinking. I love these drinks. I've become somewhat of an addict because I'm always tired. I usually drink one can in the morning and another can in the afternoon.

Refreshing Boost in a Can!

I’ve been on the hunt for an energy drink that doesn’t taste like battery acid or leave me crashing hard, and V8 Energy Black Cherry hits the spot perfectly! The black cherry flavor is bold and fruity without being overly sweet—it’s like a sophisticated twist on cherry soda mixed with a hint of veggie goodness from the V8 base. It gives me a steady energy lift from the green tea extract and B vitamins, keeping me focused

A new favorite energy drink

I am so grateful to be able to buy this on Amazon as it is difficult to find in local stores. You’ve gotta have a V8! I have enjoyed their varied drinks over the years. This particular one doesn’t disappoint. It’s a small can and pretty tasty. I find it healthy and the cherry flavor is quite nice. I like the size of the can-it is easy to stick into a fanny pack, purse or backpack. If you are a V8 fan and happen to love cherry juice, I hope you give this one a try. You won’t be disappointed.

Tasted good.

Taste great. Give you energy but not the boost like a soda does. They are a value for your money.

Perfect combo of flavor and energy without the calories

This is my go to morning drink. It has a nice flavor, not overly sweet and just enough caffeine to get my day jump started but doesn't have a drop off that you get from other energy drinks. I love that it is natural and only has about 50 calories. Highly recommend.

Refreshing Alternative to Soda

Non-carbonated, refreshing drink. I’m trying to cut back on drinking soda, and these V8 drinks are a great alternative. The caffeine content is moderately low, there are a number of flavor choices, as well as sugar free options. The vitamins do not alter the taste or leave an unpleasant aftertaste.
