One of the things we all seem to be lacking during the holidays is time. Do you find yourself having Christmas cookies for dinner because you’re too busy to stop and eat properly? Mix1 is a protein & antioxidant drink that serves as a healthy alternative to apple cider and eggnog. And one lucky Contest Corner reader will win a case of Mix1 drinks, so read on!
My take:
Mix1 make enhanced protein shakes and hi-antioxidant fiber drinks, billed as a healthy supplement for busy people. “Too busy to eat healthy?” the Mix1 slogan asks. A case of these drinks arrived on my doorstop during an especially hectic week, so it almost felt like they were addressing me specifically! When I’m stressed and busy, eating right is one of the first areas to be neglected. So I was definitely interested to try these drinks – make no mistake, there is no substitute for eating a balanced diet; but I also realize that there are days when I am on the run and would like to have something a little better to take along with me than a can of soda. I’ve always loved buying juices and smoothies, especially ones that are high in fiber and antioxidants.
I received a variety pack of Mix1 with all their different flavors: blueberry-vanilla, lime, mango, mixberry, tangerine, dark-berry and orange-carrot. Jai and I both liked these a lot, and the case disappeared quickly. These have a different “mouth feel” than other protein drinks, because I was expecting something thick – it had more of the consistency of flavored water. I found that this made it easier for me to drink.
I enjoyed drinking these, and it was a good feeling to consume something a little more nutritious. The protein & antioxidant drinks contain 15g of whey protein isolate, 23 vitamins & minerals, and 3 servings of fruit & veggies from antioxidants. The hi-antioxidant fiber drink contains 9 servings of fruits & veggies from antioxidants, 9g of whey protein isolate, and 8g of soluble fiber. All of Mix1’s drinks are free of soy, gluten, lactose & caffeine. It’s critical to eat properly, so don’t think you can live off Mix1 and fast food if you want to be healthy; but for a tasty supplement to help you incorporate even more good stuff in your daily routine and help you out when things get crazy, I give Mix1 two thumbs up.
With the holidays in full swing, many people on your list may appreciate a unique and healthy gift. So who should you give Mix1 to?
- Any fitness enthusiast on your list would be delighted to receive their own case of Mix1 protein drinks!
- Instead of an orange, stick a bottle of Orange Carrot Mix1 in everyone’s stocking for a fun twist!
- Make a gift basket filled with yummy holiday goodies, and include a few bottles of Mix1!
And while you’re dashing around stores and wrapping presents, you might even want to give Mix1 as a gift to yourself!

I love that they have a glossary on their site! First thing I looked up…
cryptoxanthin is an antioxidant that is commonly found in fruits and vegetables such as papaya and red bell peppers. It has been shown to reduce the risk of lung cancer

I liked learning how each mix1 drink corresponds to a certain time of the day or physical event/situation. (see “when mix1” tab under “what’s mix1” link)

Something interesting I found from the Mix1 site is that it has less sugar than some of the other popular ‘health’ drinks.

Mix1 uses only cane juice and cane sugar as sweeteners, unlike many of the other protein drinks out there.
