Blast as an energy drink or a preworkout supp?
Is Blast more designed as an energy drink replacement or a preworkout supp? Either way when I see it for $32 for 75 "servings"...let's be generous to Red Bull and say $.50 per serving for Blast, and I see a can of red bull for $2+ I wonder why I'd ever by Red Bull...unless of course I want a bunch of sugar or aspartame instead of the hydrating goodness of Poseidon.
I'm not a huge fan of stims in general but like them once in a while on a weekend night when going out drinking with the buddies or something..or if I need that pick me up when I just don't feel like working out but I know I should. BTW, what's the shelf life on an open container of Blast? Can I keep it for a few months and just use it once in a while? I'm probably tossing this and Poseidon on my next order and hoping to do it soon to get in on some more free clumpy Poseidon I just don't use stims or energy drinks very often so 75 servings might last me a while.

Both.

For just a good overall energy boost, 1sc works perfectly. For more of a stim effect shoot for 2sc pre-wo. The protocol works great. As for the shelf life, as long as it's stored properly your set.

Thanks for the interest Ninja, looking forward to hearing your feedback when you have a chance to try them out buddy.

Exactly...

Keep us posted Ninja! The free clumpy Poseidon offer is still good on Nutra Planet and I think you'll love BLAST/Poseidon combo!

I have some on it's way finally (ya, I'm a slacker, but I don't judge you for your problems do I? hahaha jk) anyways, I heard rumors of adding crystal light... is there another alternative if I don't care for the taste?

Poseidon and Blast will mix instantly in any beverage of your choice. Now BLAST is citrus flavored, but Poseidon is unflavored and will mix with anything without causing a change in the way it tastes.

Thanks for your interest and Keep us posted!

Crystal light is great, as would be any other drink mix(that's the beauty of a neutral powder product). Propel, Instant Lipton Ice Tea mix, all taste like themselves with Poseidon and/or Blast.

Splenda now makes flavored packets to add to water. They have a Lemon and Raspberry now. They go great with Swell, but I haven't tried it with BLAST because I already like the citrus flavor.

Ooooh, haven't heard about that. Thanks for the heads up, I'll have to be on the look out for it now.

Well between the good results from the free samples of Poseidon and Swell in my last NP order and the free clumpy Poseidon offer going on I just submitted another order to NP which included a large Poseidon and Blast. I'm excited! I'm curious to see how Blast compares to the other sugar filled energy drinks out there.
