Need Powdered Drink Suggestions, Please
Hello! My S.O. is getting burnt out on his drinks I send him to work with. I've been using Garden Greens (http://www.garden-greens.com/) VegeSplash in the Apple & Carrot flavor. He was very tolerant of this flavor but it's been many-a-month and he's sick of it. There's no way he will try their tomato flavor because he does not like tomatoes at all.
He hated their Berry version and I don't blame him. The taste was so strong it reminded me of a kids juice drink. I gave it away, along with the powdered protein drinks I blew 80 bucks on at the hippie market.
I need something I can prepare the night before or the morning of. Something that can be kept refridgerated for several hours. He won't mix his own drinks, so this part is important. :)
For his meal replacement/diet drinks I've been using HealthyMeal (http://www.drferresoptimalhealth.com/products/healthymeal.html).
He works 12-14 hour days, so the HealthyMeal is his 'breakfast'. He has his Green Drink for 'snacks' and then I make him some veggies and fruits or something similar for lunch. Then usually something like steamed veggies plus 'whatever' for dinner (it varies).
As I'd mentioned in previous discussions, I am slowly turning him into a better eater but it's taking some time and he refuses to eat everything raw which I completely understand (I'd be a liar if I said I did).
So far with the above mentioned meals he's lost about 50 pounds in 6 months or so. It could have been more and faster but exercise isn't really something that excites him after working such insane hours.
Ideally, I consider him to be borderline diabetic and try and feed him as such. He does take some supplements but nothing extreme (insul-balance, etc.).
I'm really hoping to find him a powdered green drink that isn't gross, so something taste-tested by a picky eater..er drinker, would be great!
Of course I'd like it to be natural, organic and yeast/fungus-free.
Thanks in advance if you're able to help and any other suggestions are welcome.
I'm using the HealthyMeal because he has hated everything else. I got one thing at Mother's Market and it turns into a pudding-like funk if you do not instantly drink it. I tried Garden Greens vanilla drink and that has a very strong soy and pea taste to it. It is also colored a pale green which seems to trick your mind into being positive it's not really the vanilla shake flavor it claims to be. :) He won't drink that either.

You know who would be able to give you some good info.. Kristen.. Check out her blog, she just posted about a meal replacement type mix the other day and I believe she uses Vitamineral Green to mix into smoothies, etc.
