Update Information for This Brand

Manufacturer's Brand Overview: [Edit]
mix1, an all-natural nutritional beverage, is an optimal blend of carbohydrates, proteins and nutrients to provide balance and sustained energy throughout the day. mix1 begins with those of us who strive to live healthy lifestyles in the real world. Ideally, we would all love to treat our bodies like temples. Unfortunately, balancing work, families, and a bazillion other things means that we are usually racing just to keep up with daily demands. Although we strive to eat a balanced diet, reality often forces us to supplement our diets with something easy and fast ? at least once a day, if not all day long. Enter three guys who, like us, work hard, play hard and also live in the real world. Dr. James Rouse, naturopathic doctor and triathlete, dreamed of creating the perfect beverage for his patients. He conceived of a drinkable fast food with 100% natural ingredients that would help his patients sustain their energy while racing to pick up kids from school or before racing in the Ironman. In short, the perfect mix: a solution for everyone to increase performance in a healthful, convenient way. Dr. James? friend Greg Stroh, co-founder of IZZE Beverage Company, took a keen interest in starting a new company based on a high-quality, functional product. The two paired up with Wes Brasher, operations guru, to create mix1. The team said ?Go!? and a new company was born.

Chocolate

Product Type:Functional: Protein Drinks and Supplements; Container: 11 oz Tetra Pak
BevNET Review: Of the two flavors that initially make up Mix1's All Natural Protein Shake, the Chocolate flavor was the one that we preferred. While some of this is a matter of personal preference, we thought the chocolate flavor definitely helped mask the drink's finish a bit more than the vanilla flavoring does. The sugar sweetened formulation is clean and extremely drinkable, whether you are into protein drinks or not. Still, the drink's functional makeup is very marketable, with 15g of protein, 190 calories, 2.5g of fat, 500 ORAC, and a 2 to 1 carb to protein ratio. Packaging is a well designed 11 oz. Tetra Pak container, which has a very simple and clean two color design that is easily identifiable as a chocolate-flavored product due to the brown color. Plus, we appreciate that they took the effort to keep text somewhat to a minimum and organize these elements in an easy to read fashion. Overall, a very enjoyable protein drink that is our new favorite product from Mix1.

Vanilla

Product Type:Functional: Protein Drinks and Supplements; Container: 11 oz Tetra Pak
BevNET Review: As far as protein drinks go, Mix1's Vanilla All Natural Protein Shake is a very enjoyable entry. The flavor is milder and lighter in body than your standard protein drink, with a pleasantly sweet vanilla bean flavor and a slightly chalky finish. There's a slight note of what almost tastes like fruit flavor in the backdrop, which is perhaps the result of their fruit blend antioxidants. Functionally, the drink delivers 15 grams of whey protein isolate per serving, a 2 to 1 carb to protein ratio, and antioxidants equal to 3 servings of fruits and veggies (ORAC 500). Packaging is an 11 oz. Tetra Pak, which has a clean, active look to it. It definitely feels like a functional product, which is more than we can say for some of Mix1's other products. That said, we think that this product is more intuitive and appealing (both in package and flavor) than the company's other products. Overall, a strong effort from Mix1.
