This one is a new discovery for me. I love to drink this before I go to the gym. It gives me great energy without weighing me down. And when I come home I will eat oatmeal or something with more substance to fuel my muscles. I love the fresh citrus taste and that nice wake up zing. Why not start your day with healthy goodness?!
