Superman's Secret

hi guys :)
it's tuesday so yous know i'm doing my edumacation thang. i'll leave you with a review and catch you all tomorrow!


before receiving this awesome package in the mail from the sweet people over at novelle i had no idea nor ever heard of the superest superfruit in the world.

have you ever heard of a maqui superberry!?

well i most certainly had not.

so when i received this enormous packet of information on this breakthrough patent pending super-fruit i hit the books.

apparently a maqui superberry is the highest antioxidant superfruit in the world. it's a deeply purpled berry from the Patagonia region, and was traditionally used by the Mapuche Indians for supporting stamina, increasing strength, and promoting a healthy immune system.

also known as turning you from Clark Kent to Superman..or woman.

it arrived on my doorstep in two different forms.

a liquid beverage AND a powder form

first up was the Maqui Superberry beverage. which is a functional beverage and dietary supplement featuring their patent pending Maqui Superberry fruit & seed extract.

Some quick facts:

• highest antioxidant value of any known fruit
• contains high levels of polyphenols and anthocyanins
• organic and naturally pure
• supports healthy inflammatory function
• supports a healthy immune system
• supports healthy aging
• protect cells from oxidative stress
• neutralizes free radicals
• supports cardiovascular health
• excellent source of vitamin c and potassium
  

my opinion? interesting! it's taste was similar to grape juice so if you heart your grape juice then you should pick up a bottle of this. for the amount of antioxidants you're getting in just 15ml and 10 calories it is most definitely worth a shot. i think by itself the flavor is very strong kind of reminds me of a glass of vino. but if diluted with water or thrown in your oatmeal or green monster, you'd be good to go.

...not to mention scaling sky scrapers and lifting 18 wheelers in no time flat.

the other form came in zee powda. same fruit and power provided just in perfect scoop form

with an ever so cute mini scooper.

the suggested use is to use as a dietary supplement and add 3g (10 calories) or 1 level scoop to 4 oz of water. or you could simply toss a scoop of it into your juice, milk, smoothie, cereal, oatmeal, beer, wine, long island iced tea...whatever your heart desires.

my chosen poison was le water.

my first impression prior to drinking? wow that's um dark. my second impression prior to drinking? hm i think i should have added more liquid.

my third impression after drinking? hm i'm pretty sure water was a bad choice.

i think that if this was something you wanted to incorporate in your daily diet then adding it to your green monster or oatmeal is a GREAT option. with water? it's um interesting. and by interesting i mean find a different way to enjoy it.

on the bright side?

holy energy. i felt a-maze after drinking it and contemplated for a second skipping coffee.

but who am i kidding. coffee runs through my veins.

i hope you all learned a little about the highest antioxidant superfruit in zee world and that if you see it and decide to pick it up just know that you may or may not find yourself suddenly going from the 5lb weights to the 105lb weights.


what's your favorite fruit?
