Sugar Free Energy Drink Chart
Are you an energy fiend that loves the kick, but hates the carbs?
If so, we thought we would put together a chart that outlines the popular sugar free energy drinks and what is used as an artificial sweetener so you know what to look for when you are peering into the cooler for a sugar free energy drink. This chart does not include energy shots as they are almost always sugar free anyway.

Conclusions
As you see, most sugar free energy drinks use the standard artificial sweeteners with the exception being Guru who is marketing some natural low calorie sweeteners. Sucralose a.k.a. “Splenda” has been getting some bad press lately, so who knows if that will cause other companies to go the more natural route as well if consumers begin shunning sucralose the way they did aspartame and saccharin which were previously used in sugar free energy drinks.

You forgot the whole Xyience Xenergy line.
You also forgot Redline, and Spike Shooter, the King of all sugar free drinks
You left out Fixx, unless they went out of business then you didnt forget anything and Fixx will always be king in my book for Sugar free energy azz kicking.
Hey thanks for the great suggestions, they were added except for Fixx as they only make shots now.
What about Bawls Exxtra?
Bawls added.
As someone who is allergic to sweeteners, I really appreciate you making this list. Now I know the only sugar free energy drink I can handle will be this Guru Lite. Although I’ve never seen that sold anywhere.
I like that you list the sweeteners. I’m the kind of guy who doesn’t eat or drink refined sugars or artificial sweeteners and it’s really helpful to have a list like this. Way to go!
