Talked myself into a sugar free one at least.

Orange juice will just spike your blood sugar for a temporary boost too.
Small meals throughout the day of quality protein, healthy fats and some whole grain carbs will provide a more sustained energy. But you'll have to get used to that kind of energy too. It's better for you long term though.
Also, Brewer's Yeast is a good energizer.

I eat about 150 grams of protein per day at minimum.

Quality protein in small quantities throughout the day?

Not small quantities necessarily. Quality, I'd say yes. It's not McDonalds protein and ish like that.
