As ever, Bloom's refreshing bubbly beverage shares the benefits of caffeine derived from green coffee bean extract, plus mood and metabolism support. Flavor also remains a constant, with the small-format cans available in fan-favorite, low-calorie natural energy drink flavors like lush Strawberry Watermelon, and bold and citrusy Raspberry Lemon. Now, depending on their needs, Bloom customers can choose their own zero-sugar energy adventure: a classic, slim, full-sized 12-ounce can with 180 milligrams of caffeine or a [pocket-sized 7.5-ounce can](https://www.trendhunter.com/trends/c4-performance-energy-shots) with 100 milligrams of caffeine. ## Trend Insights (Trend Hunter) - Score: 7.9/10 - Popularity: 79% | Activity: 86% | Freshness: 71% - Audience gender: 10% men, 90% women - Primary generations: Millennial - Top markets: North America ## Categories [Trend Hunter](https://www.trendhunter.com/trends) > [Lifestyle](https://www.trendhunter.com/lifestyle) > [Drinking](https://www.trendhunter.com/drinking) ## Key Themes ### What Makes This Trend Stand Out - **Portion-controlled Energy Shots:** Smaller single-serve energy formats enable more precise dosing and expanded consumption occasions beyond traditional cans, creating room for tailored micro-dosing beverage options. - **Natural Caffeine Formulations:** Products that rely on green coffee bean extract and plant-based caffeine sources open pathways for cleaner-label claims and differentiated sensory profiles within the functional beverage category. - **Flavor-forward Functional Beverages:** Bold, fruit-forward flavoring combined with functional benefits positions drinks to compete on taste as much as efficacy, encouraging experimentation with novel flavor–function pairings. ### Sectors Adopting This - **Beverage Manufacturing:** A shift toward smaller, high-margin SKUs and alternative caffeine sources pressures production lines to adopt flexible packaging and ingredient sourcing strategies. - **Retail Convenience Channels:** Demand for pocket-sized energy options alters merchandising footprints and could redefine impulse purchase dynamics at checkout and grab-and-go shelving. - **Health and Wellness Supplements:** The crossover between low-calorie, mood- and metabolism-supporting beverages and supplements suggests opportunities for hybrid products that blur category boundaries. ## Related on Trend Hunter - [Patriotic Celebration Energy Drinks](https://www.trendhunter.com/trends/america-250-monster-energy-drinks.md) - [Japanese Lime Energy Drinks](https://www.trendhunter.com/trends/summer-edition-citrus-zest.md) - [Tropical Strawberry Energy Drinks](https://www.trendhunter.com/trends/sunkissed-strawberry-red-bull-infusion.md) - [Fast-Absorbing Caffeine Products](https://www.trendhunter.com/trends/sunii-energy-gum.md) - [Athlete-Approved Beverage Ads](https://www.trendhunter.com/trends/accelerator-active-energy1.md) - [Soccer-Themed Energy Drinks](https://www.trendhunter.com/trends/electric-vibe.md) - [Refreshing Summer-Ready Beverage Expansions](https://www.trendhunter.com/trends/energy-refresher.md) - [Equity-Focused Energy Drink Campaigns](https://www.trendhunter.com/trends/kind-of-energy.md) - [Energy Drink Concert Campaigns](https://www.trendhunter.com/trends/monster-energy-and-morgan-wallen.md)
