Thought I would share another product that I enjoy. I like to drink a Mix 1: all natural, enhanced protein shake for breakfast and/or before more intense workouts. Until recently, I was never a big proponent of meal replacement shakes for a couple of reasons: for one thing I like to eat, I don’t want to replace my meals and for another, some of these products taste pretty bad and have a lot of ingredients that I can’t pronounce.
But when I started working out and running with more intensity, I found it wasn’t always logical to eat before a run or workout and solid food is not particularly appealing after a long, hot run. Mix 1 is a good solution for these occasions.
This drink satisfies my hunger in the morning without that really full feeling that can disrupt an intense work out. I can drink ½ of one before a weights class and finish it between weights and cardio – consuming 200 calories total and usually burning about 1000 between both work outs. I have the energy to complete both workouts without feeling depleted or hungry. I can easily drink one before or after a long run as well. Sure you can probably mix up your own natural protein drink, but if you are busy and just want to grab and go, this product is a great, natural solution!
Mix 1
- Superior nutrition + the right mix = balanced energy
- 15 g of premium whey protein isolate
- 23 vitamins and minerals
- 3 servings of fruit/veggies
- Anti-oxidants = to 4 cups of green tea
- Free of lactose, gluten, soy and caffeine
Tastes pretty good too – my favorite is the blueberry vanilla.
… as of this post, they are on sale at King Sooper (Kroger) for $12 a case.
