Does anyone drink this WITHOUT adding in the fruit "prescribed" on the label? If so, how does that go for you? How do you like it?

I don't - I now actually add it to my bananaberry-smoothie - it tastes very good!

It recommends that you workout with it. It comes with a manual on a 14 day workout and meal plan to take with the drinks, but I don't think you necessarily have to. I'm drinking the recommended 2 shakes a day (I replace breakfast and a snack between lunch and dinner) and I only workout when I can. It's a great meal replacer it does help curb my appetite although you should note that according to the meal plan it recommends still eating something small with the shake. Like i think it says for breakfast drink the shake and eat 1 apple as well. So I hope I've answered your question!!!

I bought the mint flavor and it's not bad at all. I have taken it by the spoonful, but most of the time I mix it into a smoothie. I haven't noticed an after taste either.

I just made strawberry using Stevia. I almost didn't need any sweetener, but, yes it works just fine. I also made apple cider jelly with Splenda that also works fine. The nice thing about the instant pectin is that you can always add more the next day to get the consistency you want, without having to boil like with the regular or low/no sugar method.

I am on my first bottle and I found the taste by itself to be absolutely repulsive. I mix it with homemade lemonade (w/stevia) or grapefruit water or even chocolate milk. The Mg changes the flavor a little but at least they make it drinkable.

I always mix it with a "smoothie." I have never tried mixing it with water or a juice as I suspect it has a strong taste if taken by itself.

The taste is pretty strong. I usually take it in 2 to 4 ounces of juice, the same as my liquid vitamins. That works well for me.

I started by taking it as a tea like they suggested, but I can't drink hot, bland water (yuck). I just take 1/4 as a pill before bed. Just make sure you drink a lot of water.

Thanks for asking. I do also have a Vitamix so I think I can speak with some experience. I had Vitamix for about a year before I go the Omega. Vitamix is perfect for daily smoothies as it can pretty much grind up anything. With the Vitamix you get 100% of the fiber with the drink. This is excellent for getting plenty of greens etc. With any juicer, you do not get the fiber, only the liquid and the nutrients. The claim to fame for the juicing is that the nutrients are immediately available to the body without any digestion - excellent for those that are fasting, ill, aged or compromised health-wise. I feel the input of straight nutrients almost immediately upon drinking a glass of fresh juice. I use the juicer most often when I am dieting, cleansing or recovering from any sickness. I use the Vitamix daily. If I had to choose only one, it would be the Vitamix but I love having both. Hope this helps. Happy Holidays.

Just a tart drink. But pretty mild in my opinion. I usually mix it with 2 ounces or so of water. It's not very tart then. Not really a distinguishable fruit taste. Just mildly tart.

I take it by mouth (1/4 - 1/2 teaspoon, 1 -2 times daily) and I make my own capsules. I've put it in smoothies and added it to tea. The taste isn't bad, but its nothing to savor either.

Maybe try doing 1/2 a scoop twice per day instead of 1 full scoop to dilute the taste and texture more. I personally put mine into my raw protein shake every morning with fresh fruit blend it in my blender and you can barely taste it. I hope this helps you out a bit... It's awesome stuff don't give up just try some different ways to make it work. I have noticed a huge difference since taking this product I highly recommend it!!!

I always have it with some non-dairy milk & fruit. It's sweet, though, so you don't need a lot of sweet fruit. Bananas work well.

Just it in a jug of water and put it in the sun for a couple of days. I use another jug for raspberry mandarin orange and country apple. I blend together after a few days. That's all we drink at our house.

To me it taste great and is a staple in my diet around an ounce a day. For some this quantity is too much. Also it is not a food you have on its own. How do you have it, for example mix with banana and papaya and Tahini in shake. Some people like it with Miso in hot water. while it has all the nutrients, it needs to be taken with other foods to give an alchemical balance, i.e., so that it is not a bland energy.I just noticed that you are having tablets. The powder is much better for mixing with other foods. Tablets are not that great.

I was not aware that this was an issue, but I would like to know. In response to the person who doesn't use it because of the taste....you are right, but I use it anyway, because it has made so much difference in my mobility, especially my knee. Has there been any thought given to making a capsule, which would leave nothing out, but would compress the ingredients to make it easier to get down.?

I ddn't notice that when I ordered to be honest. I can say that I liked it and I should have ordered another month's supply. I switched to something else and hated making that choice. I plan to purchase this product again in the very near future. It may not be for everyone but I would say try it out and see for yourself. It's not bad tasting or anything like that and it only takes a few seconds to mix. Post your thoughts once you try it so I can see if you agree with me. Thanks for asking.
