Who likes getting free samples? I sure do. I don't know why though. I guess it is just nice to get something for free for a change. Whenever I place an order at iHerb.com I click on their "Free" link which at the top of their main page in the center and they have a whole bunch of free samples to try. Even if you don't order any free items, they will add free samples to your shipment anyway.
On my most recent order I received three powdered mixes from Madre Labs - Acai Heart, Madre-C, and Immune Punch. These mixes are supposed to have some positive health benefits and have the latest "hot" ingredients like resveratrol, acai, and some exotic mushroom extracts but I never notice any difference when I take this stuff so it is either great marketing or the effects are too subtle for me to notice.
I have tried all three of these mixes before and mixed them each with water and they were terrible. The instructions recommend mixing with water, juice, or smoothie so this time around I mixed them in a fruit smoothie (fresh squeezed orange juice, organic strawberries and frozen red grapes). This worked much better. It didn't make the flavor worse like it did with the water and if anything it may have enhanced the flavor of the smoothie.
So overall, I would recommend giving these mixes a try in your smoothies but do not mix with plain water. Btw, if you are looking to make a purchase on iHerb.com - they have great prices and a huge selection of natural products and supplements - be sure to use the coupon code KEN707 to save $5 on your first order.
