SocialNature - Enerex Greens

The latest free sample I received from SocialNature is Enerex Greens (Mixed Berries version). Enerex has many products with many different objectives; for their Greens, it is labelled as "For Increased Energy, Stamina & Vitality".

There are two types of their "Greens" formula, and the one with Mixed Berries has some sweetness (using superfoods and Monk Fruit / Luo Han Guo), probably to help make it more palatable since most people are not good with foods that are not either clearly sweet or savoury.
Enerex has a video (embedded below) that summarizes what this product is, and how it differs from the competition.

The product is considered gluten free at less than 20 parts per million gluten (see fine print on the bottom back of the package).

Lots of (wasted) residue in the packet. The look and aroma is very much like Udo's Choice Beyond Greens, except there's a fruitiness to the smell and taste.

The recommended 250 mL of water works out to basically 1 cup. Watch for lumps and make sure you break them up and stir well. Also, it is a suspension -- that is, when left alone for a long time, the mixture starts to settle, leaving you with a thin-tasting drink and a sludge at the bottom. So stir!

I used just plain water and put it in the fridge to have it cold. Stirred it when it came out. The flavour is not grassy, but instead mildly fruity-sweet. Not really sweet enough to even be a weak fruit juice, if that is what you were hoping for. Since it says to add the mix to a "liquid", presumably you could add it to a fruit juice base if you like something sweeter -- or possibly even a vanilla or fruity yogurt.

Trafalgar's European Explorer 2006 memoirs part 3

A picture from my 2006 trip, a Trafalgar 's bus tour, on an itinerary called the European Explorer. I can't remember why I had this couple in the picture, but I do vaguely remember this to be in London, on the first official day of the tour group getting together. Their insistence on my helping them take a picture caused the three of us to be late getting back to the bus. The local tour guide had a "rule" about lateness, that we had to buy chocolate to share with everyone. As it turned out, later in the trip, on at least two occasions, we were stuck on the highway on either a long commute or a traffic jam, and I had chocolate and chocolate-covered marzipan to share. About the chocolate-covered marzipan -- Apparently we were in Austria just as they were celebrating Mozart's birthday with special marzipans wrapped in foil with the famous composer's picture. I'm pretty sure it was Mirabell Mozartkugeln . Anyway, there were enough to go around the en

Trafalgar's European Explorer 2006 memoirs part 10

The last of my pictures (at least the ones that survived the cheesy disposable cameras) from my 2006 trip, a Trafalgar 's bus tour, on an itinerary called the European Explorer. Below is the obligatory group photo. Not sure everyone's in it, actually. I'm pretty sure this one was taken by the tour director, Mike Scrimshire as I'm in the back row, on the right side.

Trafalgar's European Explorer 2006 memoirs part 9

More assorted couples on my 2006 trip, a Trafalgar 's bus tour, on an itinerary called the European Explorer. An American couple who joked about being from "the land of the giants" -- and with good reason, because both of them were really tall! A cute Jewish mother-daughter pair who ducked out part-way to divert to Israel. I vaguely remember the issue of the daughter being an orthodox Jew was highlighted in France when, to make things easy, she just declared herself vegetarian for the wait staff. I also remember there was some logistics error in France because our party size was way underestimated or simply relayed incorrectly, and there was a shortage of food at dinner. Dessert came as an unopened can of yogurt. It did not seem like they tried to make it up to us later, either. Plus there was smoking every which way in France, and I had a helluva time with that. We were also in a hotel that seemed tucked away in the burbs, and not walking distance from anythin
