What is the best flavor?

I really liked the Strawberry-Lime, it reminds me of a slushy as well. You will have to swirl it around the bottle as it has some sediment type stuff that may settle if left undisturbed. Still good though.Edit to add, there is another Amino from the same company the PRO version, has more aminos and no stimulants, only comes in 2 flavors though, not the same as these.

Do you take this instead of muscletech whey for example.

Muscletech whey is a protein. Amino Energy doesn't contain protein, it's used for an energy boost pre, during or post workout. So you'd use them in conjunction with each other.

Is this good for tennis game?

This is great for any workout activity including tennis. It will help with the needed aminos to fuel you during the workout in addition to the caffeine kick. I also sip on a little bit of it during the workout. I play tennis competitively and this helps because it reminds you to stay hydrated before your workouts/matches.

Coffee replacement

I mostly use this to replace coffee. It can work as a preworkout too, but I use a different brand for that. The two flavors I love the most are the Strawberry Lime and the Watermelon ones. I like to add more water so it doesn't taste as sweet.

Great boost of energy

I’ve been using the Optimum Nutrition Essential Amino Energy in the Strawberry Lime flavor, and it’s been excellent. It dissolves super easily with just a few shake, no clumps at all. The flavor is surprisingly good, refreshing, not too sweet, and really enjoyable. I also feel a nice, clean energy boost without jitters, which makes it perfect before workouts or even during a long day. Highly recommend!
