 Fantastic! Perfect Meal in a Bottle September 8, 2008
laz_254 (miami, fl United States)
I've worked in jobs where sometimes you can't stop; much less sit and eat. This item, Mix1, took care to provide all I needed in a meal and more. It's everything one needs in a world of nonstop, get-there-first rat racing. Hungry at work and can't go to a restaurant or cafeteria? Just finished working out and your body needs critical nutrients and you don't want/can't risk fast food? Want to hold the calorie intake down and want anything that's better than a bland meal-replacement shake? Don't want the usual coffee pick-me-up? Mix1 is the answer to all those questions. It might be the answer to your nutrition quandary. I drink it at work when it's crazy and there's no time for a 15-minute break. I drink it when I finish at the gym. I drink it as a snack when my earlier meal was less than healthy. I even use it when I feel run-down from stress or an oncoming cold. It's fantastic! I compare it to a Met-Rx shake (a thoroughly complete mix, but needs a blender for good prep) mixed with V-8's Fusion juice (4 vegetables and 4 fruit juices in one bottle, but no protein). I cannot recommend this product enough. By the way, research shows that for a more complete recovery one must consume protein with carbs in a 3xcarbs-to-1xprotein ratio. Mix1 is a great start and finish!
 good taste September 7, 2008

I thought this tasted good, you can really taste the mango flavor and it is suitable for people that are lactose intolerant but it does have whey in it. It has 200 calories which I feel is a bit too much for a small bottle and it doesn't fill you up so it can't be used as a meal replacement. It does have a lot of vitamins and minerals in it so it is a healthy drink and it is creamy.
Less filling, tastes great! :) September 6, 2008

It actually does taste good. Of course, 'taste' is quite a subjective matter so, to establish some frame of reference, I drink V8s in the winter, eat mass quantities of raw tomatoes while in season, real mangoes whenever they are on sale. But, given that I wouldn't take real mangoes to the office - messy to handle on a desk - I can see myself keeping a few bottles of 'mix one' in the fridge to help me start the day on good note.
To sum it up: 200 calories, nice ingredients, including real mango juice, the expected amounts of vitamins and minerals.
Overall, I enjoyed it. There is no after-taste and it seems to be filling enough to keep me going through lunch. If the price seems right to you and you enjoy the mango taste, go for it.
Pleasant tasting, Whey ok for lactose intolerant folks? September 6, 2008

Mix 1 is a pleasant tasting pre-or post-workout drink, with "15 grams of premium whey protein isolate, 23 vitamins and minerals, 3 servings of fruits/veggies, antioxidants......"
I drank my sample slowly and thoughtfully -- it tasted like a thick, tangy Mango-yogurt drink, with little flecks of solids, similar to those little flecks one finds in buttermilk.
It was good and tasty. Afterwards (less than 1/2 hr later) I felt energized. It was not heavy on the stomach, but I consumed it as a PRE-workout drink, since I thought it might take some time to assimilate, unlike water or other types of fluid drinks consumed after a strenuous and hot/sweaty workout. The fact that is contains so many vitamins also impressed me.
This is something (I don't believe it needs refrigeration) that would be good to take on a hike, or for me to use as a meal replacement. It is very good by itself.
It contains whey -- is whey ok for those who are lactose intolerant???
My only gripe is the typeface color on the bottle -- white on yellow is not a very good choice. Black type would have been much more legible.
