"The "classic root beer aroma" hit immediately upon cracking open the can. Once tasted, it revealed notes of "licorice, molasses, and cinnamon," all hallmarks of traditional root beer. It struck a delicate balance of sweet and creamy with just the right level of carbonation. With 15 grams of protein and zero sugar, you get a functional drink without the dreaded artificial aftertaste - making it the perfect option if you're trying to cut back on sugar but still want a refreshing, fizzy soda fix."

"Across all the protein sodas our taste tester sampled, feedback was generally positive - except for Bucked Up Peach Mango, which missed the mark with an artificial aftertaste and overly sweet profile. Don't Quit!'s lineup, on the other hand, consistently delivered on what a protein soda should be. Each competitor had one or two flaws that knocked them down a peg, whether it was being too sweet, leaning more like an energy drink than a soda, or tasting too artificial."

Protein sodas present a sweet, fizzy alternative to protein shakes and bars for quick meals or post-workout. Don't Quit! Root Beer combines classic root beer aromas with licorice, molasses, and cinnamon notes, and balances sweet and creamy textures with appropriate carbonation. The product supplies 15 grams of protein and zero sugar while avoiding an artificial aftertaste. Competing protein sodas frequently suffer from excessive sweetness, artificial flavors, or an energy-drink profile. Some competitors offer higher protein counts but compromise on authentic soda flavor. Protein-fortified beverages are becoming more common across retail shelves.
