Shift Away from Shift

Photo Sharing and Video Hosting at PhotobucketI was excited when I found out Stonyfield Farm was coming out with an organic energy drink called Shift. Even though the flavors (Berry Boost, Power Punch and Strawberry Banana) weren’t all that appealing to me, I still picked one up and had it for breakfast the next morning. Man, was it horrible. This review from The Message Whore pretty much sums it up.

I don’t think I’ll be buying Shift again anytime soon. It has a terrible aftertaste and packs no energy despite the added acai, ginseng, protein and vitamins. I tried Strawberry Banana and it tasted like a horrible combination of old yogurt, apple juice, strawberry and banana. When I looked at the ingredient list, guess what the first ingredient was? Apple juice concentrate. Does that even make sense? My prediction is it will be discontinued soon.

(P.S. I swear I will start writing proper reviews soon! I just need to find the cable that connects the digital camera to my computer and I’ll be all set.)

    If you’re looking for a tasty, organic energy drink, I suggest trying the Sambazon açai smoothies ( http://www.sambazon.com ). Their taste is incredible and they’re certified organic – I love the “protein power” smoothie because, as a vegan, it is a great source of omega 3’s, vegan protein, and other vitamins and nutrients. By the way, I enjoy reading your blog daily.
