Bad Idea:SAMBAZON Acai Antioxidant Superfood smoothie

So last night I was shopping for healthy foods- fruit & slim fast basically- when I stumbled upon a "superfood". The top of the bottle says "Supergreens Revolution", the company that destributes it is SAMBAZON. It's the Acai Antioxidant Superfood (organic Smoothie). "2x the antioxidants of blueberries, 1905mg healthy omegas 3-6-9, 120 acai berries per bottle!!" Its healthy, can boost metabolism and the immune system, and is all natural, so I thought it was worth a try. I was wrong. I took one sip and realized this almost immedately. The ingredients: acai puree, apple juice, grape juice, banana puree, mango puree, amazing grass supergreens(wheat grass,barley grass, oat grass, alfalfa, soy lecithin) and o yeah, citric acid. I took two sips and I was done, put the $5 bottle back into the fridge. Then I went out to feed the horses in the barn. As I broke open a new bale of hay, I realized the smell that hit me reminded me of the taste still in my mouth. If I wanted to drink horse food I coulda got it for free. WTF. I pureed some strawberries and added it to the bottle- no luck, still gross. I think instead of wasting the bottle I'm going to take a shot of it every morning and chase it with cranberry juice until its gone. I won't lie, I was pretty energized all day. AND I didn't gain any unneccesary weight today : ). I just need to melt away the extra stupid fat in those hard to get places(love handles, thighs, and belly) and I will be sooo happy!
SO the point of this blog- do not try that superfood... Eeew! Eat some grass if you want. The other point, I'M STILL LOSING WEIGHT! : ) I hope to be super in shape by the time lil Miss Sniggles' wedding rolls around!! Yay!! <3
