Along with water and liquefied egg whites, Orgain is in the running for Healthiest Drink Ever. And the crazy thing? It's delicious. This morning I sampled "Creamy Chocolate Fudge," and I loved it. With a mere 13 grams of sugar, it's pretty tasty and chocolaty.
A doctor recommended this to me as a fantastic post-run drink. The makers of Orgain don't specify anywhere on the box or website that the drink contains electrolytes, which I usually need after a workout, but that appears to be the only thing it lacks. The drink is entirely organic, not too sugary or sweet, and low in fat; it's jam-packed with protein (16 grams) and abundant in nutrients, including a vitamin blend, an organic veggie blend (trust me, you don't taste it), an organic fruit blend, and an antioxidant blend. One "Orgain" allegedly contains the equivalent of ten fruit and vegetable servings, but I have to wonder whether that's even possible. Wouldn't the drink then contain far more calories, and wouldn't it provide 100% of the vitamins you need in a day? (Most of the vitamins in "Nutrition Facts" are listed at a mere 25%, which of course isn't bad.)
Would appreciate any insights or thoughts. In the mean time, I'll keep enjoying these!
