2007 Archives: Mix 1 Energy Drink, Sustainable Energy in a Bottle
Forget the energy bar, cruise right by that fruit shake—we’ve found the perfect commute-worthy, between meetings, can’t-stop-for-lunch-so-I’m-eating-in-my-car, drinkable meal. No, Mix 1 isn’t organic, and that’s kind of a bummer. But it’s got a ton of great stuff—15 grams of protein, 22 vitamins and minerals, polyphenol antioxidants equivalent to four cups of green tea (but minus the caffeine) and lots and lots of fiber, with no artificial flavors, colors or preservatives in sight.
One bottle is equivalent to three servings of fruits or veggies, and contains a two-to-one carb-to-protein ratio to sustain energy, plus it’s lactose, gluten, soy, saturated or trans fat, GMO and caffeine free—did we say that already? Okay so blah, blah, blah to all these facts that mean nothing to us except they do explain why Mix 1 fills us up for about four hours with a kind of buzzy yet not over-stimulated energy and zero hunger pangs. Rather than fight the drive-thru and hate yourself in the morning, stock a few of these recyclable, crayola-colored numbers in your fridge and you’re good to go any time of day (or night)—but if you have to choose one, we vote for Lime, which is just plain yummy in a pinkberry kind of way. Oh, and at just 200 calories per bottle, we’ve found Mix 1 to be as easy on the waistline as they are on the palate. Bonus!
