    Expensive but a step to healthier eating

    • Length of Use: 3–6 months
    Overall Experience:

    If you struggle with getting veggies and fruits into your diet or are on the go and don't have many opportunities for healthy snacks, these are super useful. Less expensive than most 'juice cleanse' sets and about on par with the prices for convenience store options, but better quality and easier to tote around all day or keep on hand in a desk drawer.

    I've liked all the flavors (admittedly some more than others), including the 'green' one others don't, but I like green smoothies. [Adding fresh ginger to the more 'vegetal' ones may help with palatability for those who have trouble with those but still want the nutrition.] Haven't had a flavor yet that I couldn't finish or where I am dreading using the remaining packets. Most are sweet/fruity to my taste. I started out mixing most flavors with a plant milk but ran out one day so used water instead and many I'm just as happy with that way. If you struggle with plant foods, these are fruity to help you, but they still taste like real vegetables and fruits, which some may not be able to tolerate well. The nice thing is you can choose the ones you want, so if you hate 'greens' you never have to bother with it again. However, I do wish there was a way to be more specific about the quantities you'd like of each when ordering.

    The free bottle is not the best but I happened to have a "blender ball" on hand, which when added into the bottle has made a huge difference in its functionality. It washes up nicely in the dishwasher or by hand (though that can be a little trickier). It took me some time to get the hang of getting the powder to mix in without clumping so badly it wouldn't mix without scraping the sides or ending up with a dry "puff" of it stuck to the inside of the lid - but not sure there's really anything to be done about mixing a dry powder into a cold liquid other than to have a bit of patience and get the trick of it. Haven't tried them in a blender, but that would probably be much better.

    Will probably keep getting these, though maybe at 6 to 10-week intervals instead of monthly due to the cost.

    Pros and Cons:

    • Convenience
    • Nutrition
    • Creative solution for 'on the go'
    • More quantity control when ordering
    • Price is high, although so is quality

    Bottom Line: Yes, I would recommend this to a friend
