 Mango TangoNov 21, 2008
Sometimes...many times...I get so involved with what I am doing that I forget to eat. You might think that's a godsend, but it's really not. When we don't supply our body with some protein and good quality carbs every few hours our health can take a dip and I'm not just talking physical health, but mental, emotional, and spiritual health, as well. We are a unified field and what affects a part of our being affects the whole.
That is why I am so glad that I stumbled onto this product. I can keep these in the fridge or in my little cooler bag and just drink one between clients or before or after I workout. What I noticed is that after just drink one of these things is that I am not hungry at all for another three hours or so.
A lot of people complained about the taste. I actually find it rather refreshing, but I must warn you, this stuff tastes infinitely better cold than it does warm. It also tastes great with a shot of Vodka thrown in --
just kidding -- just making sure you are paying attention.

The reason why most people who are on a diet don't lose weight is because they don't nourish their bodies frequently enough and then when they do eat, thy are so famished that they want to eat everything. I gaurantee if you keep a few of these on hand and drink one between regular healthy meals plus have a solid exercise routine you will lose the weight you desire and it won't be muscle weight but fat.
These bodies are the vehicles of our souls, our minds, and hearts. We need them to be healthy, strong, and vital for as long as we can. This little product nourishes me not just physically but because I'm stoking my "furnace" on a regular basis I'm also more mentally clear and emotionally balanced which brings me a great deal of spiritual happiness.
Do the "Mango Tango" and radiate your healthy light in all that you are a part of.
Peace & Blessings,
john, 'the Light Coach'
 Not up to my expectationsNov 13, 2008
I suspect my disappointment with Mix 1 is a combination of high expectations from my love of Naked Juice and having been introduced to Mix 1 with its mango-flavored version. I'm impressed by all of the healthy goodness packed into each bottle but I didn't get the energy boost I expected nor a quick filler for a missed meal. Someone described it as like drinking yogurt and someone else compared the taste to chalk. Right on both counts. It's thick and a bit bland. Not entirely bad, but I'm glad I drank it heavily chilled. If I decide to give it another try I'll grab a flavor with a little more bang for my taste buds.

 Great Taste, Bad After-DrynessNov 12, 2008
It has a very strong mango taste which I enjoy but less than a second after, my mouth went extra-dry as though I haven't drank water for a week. Even my sister tried it and she experienced the same.
 Better than most, but not perfectNov 11, 2008
I am not the biggest fan of protein drinks, since even though they are "good for you", I do not enjoy their taste. In this case, the experience was much better than others, with the typical weird aftertaste managed to a minimum. However, I found the flavor to be a little on the bland side.
If you are looking for a boost of protein and vitamins that does not take a lot of time to consume, this is still one of the better options out there. I just wish that one day I would come across one of this products and say "Wow! This one tastes great".
Excellent drink, for the right person.Oct 18, 2008
Since it takes glasses and a magnifying glass to be able to read the ingredients, I'm going to do just that. The reason is that someone who decides to drink this may have food allergies or be diabetic: Whey Protein Isolate; Organic Cane Sugar -- these are the first two ingredients, which means the quantity (based on a 2000 calorie day) is significant. Onward: Organic Evaporated Cane Juice - I assume that is sugar cane since it is mentioned right after the sugar cane; then we go into the concentrates that are added Juice concentrates: Apple extract, light pectin, Olive oil (yes, that is correct) Citric Acid and Pectin. Next they add lactic acid, beet juice concentrate for color as well as bete-carotene for color.
If you understood all of those ingredients, then maybe the drink is for you. But if you are lactose intolerant, this is one drink you should skip.
It does list numerous vitamins; the quantity could be misleading because while you think you are getting 35% of your vitamin A for the day, that is only if you base your food ingestion on 2000 calories a day. For a petite woman, 2000 calories will fatten you up; a man can easily burn that many calories just maintaining his muscle structure.
Are there any benefits? Yes. If you can tolerate the ingredients well, then this is a healthy drink that can help you stay stronger and younger longer. Oxidation describes the loss of electrons by a molecule, atom or ion. Reduction describes the gain of electrons by a molecule, atom or ion. Reducing the oxidation slows aging.
I am a care giver for my 84 year old mother; she is very small and if she can't eat for a day, she could easiely drop 2-3 pounds. This drink, which she can tolerate, helps keep the pounds on her for those times when she is unable to swallow.
There are a variety of flavors, but I drank the Mango. The flavor lingered long after the bottle was empty, and that was pleasant. With the available selection, you probably can find one or more that you, or someone you must get food into, to drink.
Definitely try this drink. You will have more energy, it will help your nutrition when a meal is missed. Just know the possible problems.
