The mix1 line of\u00a0nutraceutical beverages\u00a0was\u00a0created by company founders\u00a0Greg Stroh and Dr. James Rouse.\u00a0 The original\u00a0mix1 drinks\u00a0were designed for people on the go, with\u00a0a 2:1 carbohydrate-protein ratio, plus antioxidants, vitamins and minerals. The newer antioxidant-fiber drinks, on the other hand, provide less carbs and protein, but more fiber and phytonutrients…the label claims an ORAC value of 4500 per serving.\u00a0 The fiber drinks come in two flavors: dark-berry and orange-carrot.<\/p>\n
Manufacturer’s Description:<\/strong>\u00a0<\/p>\n What: 9 servings of fruits and veggies deliciously blended from a broad, quality spectrum of antioxidants & fiber + protein.<\/p>\n Why: so you can actually do the right thing for your body everyday.\u00a0 It’s never been so easy.<\/p>\n When: enjoy mix1 daily with a meal or as a light snack.<\/p>\n Product Label:<\/strong><\/p>\n Comments:<\/strong> I first encountered the mix1 drinks at the Natural Products Expo in Boston last Fall…I hung out at the company booth for a good 20 minutes, talking fitness\/lifting with the company principals (including Greg Stroh) – they were an engaging and enthusiastic group of people, with high hopes for their product.<\/p>\n As blog readers know, I take ORAC claims with a grain of salt, and am not necessarily impressed by big numbers.\u00a0 I do, however, think highly of green tea extract – so ORAC numbers aside, this alone would make mix1 a reasonably healthful beverage.\u00a0 Beyond that, it certainly doesn’t hurt to also have a shot of high quality protein, a healthy amount of soluble fiber and an overall low calorie content.<\/p>\n Taste-wise, the drinks reminded me of thin yogurt smoothies.\u00a0 They’re more tangy than sweet, although this is a plus with me (as I don’t like sweet drinks…someone with a pronounced sweet tooth might feel differently), with natural-tasting fruit flavors.\u00a0 In my opinion, the drinks were a little weak to be a taste sensation, but they were quite drinkable…of the two, the orange-carrot was my preference.<\/p>\n Overall, I thought the drinks were likable enough, and just the right size for a lunch box or bag…so they’d be decent, portable, low cal snacks or beverages to consume with a light meal.<\/p>\n [usrlist “Taste:3.0” “Quality:4.5” “Efficacy:4.0” “Value:3.0″ avg=”true”]<\/p>\n","protected":false},"excerpt":{"rendered":" The mix1 line of\u00a0nutraceutical beverages\u00a0was\u00a0created by company founders\u00a0Greg Stroh and Dr. James Rouse.\u00a0 The original\u00a0mix1 drinks\u00a0were designed for people on the go, with\u00a0a 2:1 carbohydrate-protein ratio, plus antioxidants, […]<\/p>\n","protected":false},"author":1,"featured_media":0,"comment_status":"open","ping_status":"closed","sticky":false,"template":"","format":"standard","meta":[],"categories":[4,8,10,1],"tags":[20,86,108,305,129,148,170,196,219],"_links":{"self":[{"href":"https:\/\/www.ultimatefatburner.com\/functional-foods\/wp-json\/wp\/v2\/posts\/301"}],"collection":[{"href":"https:\/\/www.ultimatefatburner.com\/functional-foods\/wp-json\/wp\/v2\/posts"}],"about":[{"href":"https:\/\/www.ultimatefatburner.com\/functional-foods\/wp-json\/wp\/v2\/types\/post"}],"author":[{"embeddable":true,"href":"https:\/\/www.ultimatefatburner.com\/functional-foods\/wp-json\/wp\/v2\/users\/1"}],"replies":[{"embeddable":true,"href":"https:\/\/www.ultimatefatburner.com\/functional-foods\/wp-json\/wp\/v2\/comments?post=301"}],"version-history":[{"count":3,"href":"https:\/\/www.ultimatefatburner.com\/functional-foods\/wp-json\/wp\/v2\/posts\/301\/revisions"}],"predecessor-version":[{"id":597,"href":"https:\/\/www.ultimatefatburner.com\/functional-foods\/wp-json\/wp\/v2\/posts\/301\/revisions\/597"}],"wp:attachment":[{"href":"https:\/\/www.ultimatefatburner.com\/functional-foods\/wp-json\/wp\/v2\/media?parent=301"}],"wp:term":[{"taxonomy":"category","embeddable":true,"href":"https:\/\/www.ultimatefatburner.com\/functional-foods\/wp-json\/wp\/v2\/categories?post=301"},{"taxonomy":"post_tag","embeddable":true,"href":"https:\/\/www.ultimatefatburner.com\/functional-foods\/wp-json\/wp\/v2\/tags?post=301"}],"curies":[{"name":"wp","href":"https:\/\/api.w.org\/{rel}","templated":true}]}}\n\n
