Monavie: Necessary nutrient or heckuvalota hype?

I’ve been given a supply of MonaVie’s acai berry drink to try out.  I’m going to be making a few posts about my thoughts and perceived effectiveness of the product as my trial continues.  My reviews are 100% objective; I do not sell MonaVie, and MonaVie has no influence over my writings about the product.

I’ve been drinking an ounce every morning for a couple of weeks now, and so far I’m impressed.

I’ve been able to run on the Eliptical trainer (yes, this is my favorite cardio) with greater intensity than I normally can.  This is measured by an increase of 7% in my heartrate while not feeling as though I am exerting any additional energy.  Before starting MonaVie I was pushing myself as hard as I could, and now I feel I could push myself even harder, but I don’t want to push my heart rate any higher than I am now.

I’ve noticed less of a likelihood of wanting to snack too.  My only question is whether the positive changes I’ve noticed are a result of the Monavie drink, if it is due to my morning whey protein-based shakes, or if it is a result of my starting to exercise at the gym on a regular basis.  The easiest way to find out is to stop drinking Monavie for a while and see what happens.  I plan to not drink any for the next week and see if I notice any of the benefits I’ve perceived go away.

    Ok, so your wife is taking Jus, how has her experience been compared to yours? No one will argue that both are good for you, they have to be loaded with antioxidants, fruits and herbs, but which one is better? Which one is cheaper and which one makes a bigger difference in your health?
