A health drink that actually tastes good...make that DELICIOUS!
Wow! I was stunned the first time I tried this energy shake. The most I hoped for was that it might taste half-way decent, but to my very pleasant surprise, it tasted wonderful! It was not a feat of iron-willpower at all to drink. I wasn't stopping to gag a little every few seconds, like I have with other health drinks. I think it tastes like an oatmeal cookie, but creamy, and when I looked at the can's label, the product was described as having a "creamy granola flavor", so I was pleased that the description was true to the product, unlike other shake powders that tout yumminess and taste like something you wouldn't feed your dog! In addition to delicious flavor, I find that it is very filling, which has been helpful to my dieting efforts, and it definitely boosts my energy. I have always struggled with getting an adequate workout, because I would tire too easily, but after drinking this energy shake, I can really push myself hard and burn significant calories - a first for me! Finally, I feel good about all the vitamins, minerals, and whole food concentrates I am getting with this product, especially since everything is all-natural.<br /><br />I have used this shake powder with Dole's Peach-Orange-Mango juice, which is really good, but my favorite way to drink it is: 1 scoop energy shake powder; 8 oz. Odwalla Superfood drink; 8 oz. Mountain High all-natural yoghurt (vanilla or lemon); 1 banana. (Actually, this recipe makes enough for me to drink half, and refrigerate the rest for later.) This product mixes well with a blender or salad dressing shaker, but I don't recommend mixing it with a spoon (stays kind of clumpy). Also, I have never used more than 1 scoop in my drinks, and the flavor and consistency have been perfect for me (I think 2 scoops would be too much, but I think 2 scoops are recommended only if you will be mixing it with water, and not something thicker, like juice or milk).<br /><br />Try this product - it is SO good! I will definitely be re-ordering it when I run out.
