Summary

Celsius Energy Drink scores 64/100. Zero sugar with a genuinely functional MetaPlus blend — green tea extract, taurine, ginger root, vitamin C, chromium and a full B-vitamin complex behind 200mg of caffeine from green tea and guarana. Its only real additive concessions are a single artificial sweetener (sucralose) and unspecified natural flavors; unlike most of the category it carries no sodium benzoate or potassium sorbate. That cleaner preservative profile is what puts it at the top of the mainstream tier.
