Acutefruit (a product of the Monarch Beverage Company) has made an excellent contribution to the energy drink market with their 100% juice (along with 220mg of caffeine, and other energizing ingredients) strawberry and guava offering. Agreed, the primary ingredients apple and grape juices, but it tastes like strawberry (not sure where the guava comes in, but since I'm on the fence about guava flavor, I'm just as happy it's not a distinctive construct of the flavor). In addition, Acutefruit's strawberry guava also has enough calories to constitute a meal replacement. At 120 per serving (240 per can), this drink swings at your waistline with more ferocity than your average "sugary" energy drinks. Comparisons of per ml calories and carbs with notoriously "bad for you" energy drinks like Monster and Red Bull have Acutefruit coming out the waistline-expanding heavy-hitter.
With all that apple, you might expect this drink to be loaded with fiber, but don't stop taking your Metamucil so fast grandpa. I didn't see fiber content listed on the can at all, nor was my time on/in the can increased or decreased at all. I wouldn't mind having a little fiber in this can, improper fiber intake can lead to hard stool requiring a forceful "BM", possibly causing an anal fissure. Which brings me to the point at hand, rectal bleeding. Rectal bleeding is a laughing matter, but it can also be deadly. And while often people use death in relation to something funny, like when I repeat what you just said, preceded by "Your mom", and you respond with"Stop, you're killing me". The "you're killing" me part is only a small percentage of the validity of that statement. Meanwhile, the potential fatality probability associated with rectal bleeding is far higher. So, in summation, rectal bleeding is equal parts funny and deadly. While most online articles about the topic focus on the blood loss, I have to also be concerned with bacteria that may be going into the bloodstream. Something akin to TSS, which I'm intimately familiar with from the hours laboriously fecal-making and reading product packaging, in the process of passing something akin in density and size to the Hope Diamond.
Acutefruit offers a good deal of energy, not only from having as much sugar as about 5 servings of maple syrup, but from the caffeine content of about 3 cups of coffee. I'm fueled and ready to forcefully dispense a hemafeculent projectile into toiletal orbit.
I think Acutefruit Strawberry Guava is an excellent value, with MSRPs ranging from $2-2.79, we're reviewing it at the $2 price point (which is what it can be acquired for from their website). So, the cons: Acutefruit doesn't have any fiber to reduce the risk of rectal bleeding. The pros: Acutefruit taste great, is energizing, affordable and doesn't appear to cause rectal bleeding.

AcuteFruit Strawberry Guava tastes like it should. It lives up to the name Strawberry Guava, with a very fruity blend. While typing out the ingredient list, I did find it odd that after filtered water comes apple juice concentrate and white grape juice concentrate. I guess if they just used strawberry juice, it would be a bit over powering and they would have to rename the drink to RAWBERRY! The only downside that I can find with the taste of the drink is there's a bit of a bitter aftertaste from the caffeine. It's not so bad that it really detracts from the over all taste, but I figured it wouldn't hurt to mention it. The fact that it's not carbonated is very good for this drink. It goes down smooth and is easy to drink in a hurry if you need to. It's a good drink to relax with after a day out in the sun.
Xtreme Energy ShotThe energy gained from AcuteFruit Strawberry Guava is pretty decent. I had to look up one of the ingredients in their energy package, Rooibos. Apparently, Rooibos is a tea that is grown in South Africa. It is used in South Africa to treat the following ailments: infantile colic, allergies, asthma and dermatological problems. So if you suffer from any of these ailments, take a swig of AcuteFruit Strawberry Guava and your problems will cease to be (results may vary). Anywho, back to the energy! It's got enough caffeine kick to keep you awake and the ginkgo biloba and other ingredients will help keep your mind sharp as well.
The price of AcuteFruit is very solid as well. You can get a twelve pack from their store for $24 with free shipping! Two dollars is a great deal for this refreshing beverage. You can also sleep well at night knowing that the Monarch Beverage Company is involved with CarbonFund.org and are a certified Carbon-Free company.
