Bloom and Celsius both offer fruity energy drinks marketed as zero sugar, but they aren’t identical. The biggest difference in the standard cans is caffeine: the information provided for this draft lists Bloom Sparkling Energy at 180 mg per can and standard CELSIUS and CELSIUS Vibe at 200 mg. Bloom’s smaller 7.5-ounce can is listed at 100 mg, while CELSIUS Essentials is listed at 270 mg. Product sizes and formulas can change, so check the label on the specific drink you’re considering.
So which is better? There’s no single answer for everyone. Your choice may come down to how much caffeine you want, which flavors you enjoy, and how you respond to the ingredients.

| Product | Caffeine per can | Calories and sugar | Ingredient highlights |
|---|---|---|---|
| Bloom Sparkling Energy, standard can | 180 mg | 10 calories; marketed as zero sugar | Green coffee bean extract; L-theanine and ginseng are highlighted |
| Bloom, 7.5-ounce can | 100 mg | Check the label | Smaller serving |

Bloom’s standard can has 20 mg less caffeine than standard CELSIUS or Vibe. That’s a small difference, but it may matter if you’re sensitive to caffeine or already drink coffee, tea, or other caffeinated beverages. The listed caffeine amounts and ingredient details come from the supplied material; confirm them against current product packaging before publishing or making a purchase.
How much caffeine is in Bloom and Celsius?
A standard Bloom Sparkling Energy can is listed at 180 mg of caffeine. Bloom also offers a smaller 7.5-ounce can listed at 100 mg, which may suit someone looking for a smaller serving.
Standard CELSIUS and CELSIUS Vibe cans are listed at 200 mg. CELSIUS Essentials is a separate, higher-caffeine product line, listed at 270 mg per can. CELSIUS Hydration is described as caffeine-free.
That’s why it’s worth checking the exact product name and serving size. “Celsius” can refer to drinks with different caffeine amounts, and a smaller can may contain less caffeine than a standard one.
Remember to count caffeine from all sources—not just energy drinks. Coffee, tea, supplements, pre-workout products, and other caffeinated beverages all contribute to your daily total.
Sugar, calories, and ingredients
Both Bloom Sparkling Energy and Celsius energy drinks are marketed as zero sugar. Bloom’s standard can is listed at 10 calories. For Celsius, calorie and nutrition details can vary by product and flavor, so check the can’s nutrition panel rather than assuming they are identical across the range.
Bloom highlights caffeine from green coffee bean extract, along with ingredients such as L-theanine, ginseng, lychee, and prebiotics. The brand also says its sparkling energy drinks are free from artificial colors, artificial flavors, and aspartame. These are brand claims and ingredient highlights—not guarantees of a particular health or performance effect.
Celsius emphasizes ingredients including green tea extract, guarana seed extract, ginger root extract, taurine, chromium, and seven essential vitamins. The full formula may vary, so people with dietary restrictions, sensitivities, or allergies should review the specific product label.
What do Bloom and Celsius taste like?
Bloom’s flavors are described as fruity, sparkling, and often sweet-tart. Examples listed in the supplied material include Crisp Apple, Strawberry Watermelon, Shirley Temple, Raspberry Lemon, Peach Mango, Cherry Lime, and Juicy Orange. The available flavors may change.
Celsius also offers fruit-forward flavors, including citrus, tropical, and berry profiles, with sparkling and non-sparkling options. One reviewer named Sparkling Watermelon as a favorite. The range varies by product line and retailer.
Taste is personal. In the comments included in the source material, some people preferred Bloom’s flavors or said they found Celsius’s taste hard to enjoy; others liked Celsius or specific flavors. Those are individual opinions, not a reliable prediction of what you’ll prefer. If you’re unsure, try one can before buying a whole case.
Which one might suit you?
Bloom may suit you if you want a slightly lower caffeine amount in the standard-can comparison, are interested in a smaller 100 mg option, or prefer Bloom’s available flavors and ingredient profile.
Celsius may suit you if you want 200 mg of caffeine in a standard can, enjoy its flavor range, or are looking for a specific product format. Just note that Celsius products don’t all have the same caffeine level: Essentials is listed at 270 mg, while Hydration is caffeine-free.
Neither choice is automatically right for everyone. Your preferred taste, caffeine tolerance, and the other sources of caffeine in your day all matter.
What to consider before drinking either
“Zero sugar” does not mean “caffeine-free.” A standard can of either drink contains a substantial amount of caffeine, and people can respond to caffeine differently. Too much may cause unwanted effects such as jitters, anxiety, or sleep problems.
The source material cites up to 400 mg of caffeine per day for most healthy adults, but that should not be treated as a personal target. Your circumstances may call for a different limit. If you’re pregnant or breastfeeding, sensitive to caffeine, taking medication, or managing a health condition, ask a qualified healthcare professional about what’s appropriate for you. Energy drinks are not suitable for everyone, and children and adolescents should avoid them.
Also, an energy drink should not replace water, food, sleep, or rest. If you’re choosing one for a workout or a busy day, consider how it fits into your overall routine.
