Rookie Wellness

 Wake: Natural Energy and Metabolism Support

I am always looking for a cleaner way to get my morning boost, I enjoy tea and matcha usually. I don't usually use pre workouts or energy drinks because they either taste like a chemical experiment or leave me feeling jittery and anxious. So, I was intrigued to try the Rookie Wellness Wake and their focus on adaptogens and natural ingredients. I tried the flavor Strawberry Fields and was genuinely impressed. The name "Strawberry Fields" perfectly captures the taste. It's not a candy-like, artificial strawberry flavor. Instead, it is a refreshing light and authentically fruity taste. It felt like drinking a cold-pressed juice rather than an energy supplement. I mixed it with 12 ounces of cold water, and it dissolved without any gritty texture, leaving a beautiful, clear pink hue. The real test, of course, was the effect. I was looking for sustainable energy without crashing, and that's exactly what I got. The blend of adaptogens, which are cordyceps and rhodiola, gave me a smooth, focused energy that lasted for hours. I felt alert and clear headed, and able to tackle my to do list without the mid-morning slump. There was no intense tingling sensation or an uncomfortable spike in my heart rate, just a gentle, effective lift. Product was received as part of an educational promotion.

Okay, so I didn't expect this little packet to change my whole morning routine, but here we are. I've been a two-coffee-before-lunch kind of guy for years. Legal work, front desk chaos, brain fog, it's a lot. But Rookie Wake? This stuff had me feeling sharp, focused, and weirdly chill… without the caffeine crash or jittery nonsense. I drink it first thing in the morning, and boom, no coffee cravings. I haven't touched a cup in a week. That's wild. At work, I'm more alert than I ever was with coffee, and I don't feel like I need a nap by 2 p.m. Honestly, it's kind of magic. If you're trying to kick the coffee habit but still want to feel like a superhero at your desk, Wake might be your new best friend.

A little goes a long way with these strawberry fields water additives! They're very flavorful and fragrant, to the point I could smell them before I even opened them. They dissolve easily into a glass of water, and come in single serving packets, which is very convenient, particularly for travel.It's nice how it contains valuable B vitamins, including Thiamin, Riboflavin, Vitamin B6, Vitamin B12, and Pantothenic Acid, but in small enough quantities to make it safe. I have heard it can help anxiety for some people. I do find myself a bit more relaxed after drinking this, but I'm uncertain whether it's placebo or not. I also like that they contain green tea as the form of caffeine for the nutritional benefits it contains. On the note of sweetness, these make an extremely strong flavored drink if you mixed at the recommended ration, so I refer to mix it in around 16 - 18 oz of water, rather than the recommended 12 oz. However, this really comes down to personal preference. I really like the flavor of these; It reminds me of strawberry candy, and has a nice balance between sweet and tart. They're more affordable than pre-mixed beverages with similar nutritional benefits, but still a bit out of my price range for regular use. The pleasant flavor and high-quality ingredients do help to offset this some, however.As an occasional tasty flavoring to put in my water that's also good for my health, I'd say these are pretty nice. I'm someone who definitely doesn't drink enough water, so anything that encourages me to drink more is very appreciated. It's always a nice bonus when a water flavoring provides nutritional benefits at the same time, and this does that.

The Rookie Wellness 'Wake' satchets have been a life saver for me. I had recently stopped energy drink consumption, and I was needing something to give me a boost in the morning, which is when I got the option to try Wake by Rookie Wellness, what impressed me most was a few things. One being that the flavour is really good, it has a sweetness and as well as a slight tang. I also added a satchet to some sparkling mineral water a couple times and it was excellent. If you are a fan of energy drinks, or if you are like me and quitting energy drinks then this is the perfect addition to help you get a boost of energy without ingredients which aren't good for your health. Secondly, there is no crash, absolutely none. By the time 3:00pm rolled around I still had energy and didn't feel the drag of the day. I always anticipate that crash and was impressed that I didn't feel groggy, I didn't feel heavy with tiredness. Thirdly, I didn't experience any bloating whatsoever. Both energy drinks and coffee tends to give me a bit of bloating, unsure why but they do. I felt great not just energy wise but my body felt great as well. I will be purchasing this in the future for myself. I hope I can get the product in tubs! I received this product as part of an educational program.
