From morning lectures to late-night study sessions, caffeine runs college life.

But while some people turn to coffee, I’ve found CELSIUS gives the same boost – with cleaner ingredients and better results for the body.

I’ve tried just about every energy drink on the shelf – from Red Bull to Bang Energy – but I’ve settled that CELSIUS is the healthiest, cleanest option out there.One major difference between CELSIUS and coffee is where its caffeine comes from.

CELSIUS uses ingredients like guarana seed, green tea, and ginger to provide energy, while coffee’s only source is the bean itself. A can of CELSIUS usually has about 200 milligrams of caffeine, compared to around 95 milligrams in a regular cup of black coffee.

For anyone who needs a stronger and longer-lasting lift, CELSIUS gives you more to work with, according to a 2025 Wellbeing with Grace article.

It is recommended that a person drink no more than two 12 oz cans of CELSIUS a day, according to the company’s “Essential Facts” webpage. 

The typical caffeine content for a 12-oz energy drink is 41-246 milligrams, according to a FDA webpage.

I can only handle one can of CELSIUS because while it gives me the boost I need, too much caffeine starts to feel overwhelming. 

When I drink coffee, the energy boost feels slow to kick in – and it doesn’t last long.

After an hour or two, I usually hit a wall or start feeling that mid-day crash that sends me reaching for another cup.

CELSIUS helps me feel more alert and focused without that heavy, jittery feeling coffee sometimes brings.

The University of Oklahoma conducted a Metabolic Response Study and key findings are that sedentary men drinking Celsius before moderate exercise yielded significant improvements in body composition, according to celsius webpage.

Let me be honest, nobody wants to sip on something that tastes like chemicals in a lab, and that’s what makes Celsius different.

The flavor actually hits right – clean, crisp, and not overly sweet like most energy drinks. 

There’s no weird aftertaste, just a refreshing fizz that feels light and natural.

My personal favorite is Arctic Vibe – it’s cool, smooth, and easily the best-tasting energy drink I’ve had.

As a coach, Celsius has helped me stay sharp and energized through long practices and games.

It gives me that extra focus I need to keep up with my athletes and set the tone for the team. 

I have a tradition that I always drink a can of Celsius before every game because game days always make them taste good. 

The main reason why I prefer to drink CELSIUS is because I don’t like the taste of coffee. 

One of the side effects of drinking too much caffeine is increased heart rate, according to the FDA webpage.

Not to mention a single can costs $2.79 in stores like CVS, but this is less expensive than a cup of coffee. 

In California, the average cost for a regular cup of coffee costs $3.88, according to a Yahoo! Finance article.

I am the kind of person that has experienced a few mid-afternoon crashes, and CELSIUS gives me that quick energy boost that lasts me the rest of the day. 

I’m not here to tell anyone to give up their go-to coffee or Red Bull, but over time, I’ve learned that what you put in your body matters, and Celsius just feels cleaner, lighter, and better for me.
