früsh is a new fruit and yogurt drink made
in North Carolina. www.gofrush.com |

I like this tag line "Live Vividly"
on the info packet from früsh. |
Remember the post I had about Front Porch Ice cream? Well the people at
früsh liked it so much, they wanted me to try out their fruit and yogurt drink. Visit them on Facebook:

@gofrush on Twitter.
I received some certificates and coupons for früsh in the mail along with two red drawstring backpacks. (I think I'll do a healthy stuff giveaway soon, and fill a backpack with some goodies for the lucky winner.)
So about
früsh.
It is pitched as a healthy replacement in a healthy diet. More of a snack than anything. So if you're going for a five meal a day plan, this
früsh will work as a between three meals snack.
This past Saturday, some of my fellow bloggers (NikkiPinache.com, Blitzandglam.com, and TheMofoChronicles.com) met me at Terrace Cafe in South Park, Charlotte to try out the drinks four flavors. I actually loved the taste, as it didn't taste like the other yogurt drinks, that leave a funny aftertaste.
Nikki's friend came along on a trip back to Charlotte from Mississippi. She liked the drink as much as I did. Some of the ladies did not like how thick the drink was and thought that they should try doing it as a smoothie more than a shake, or that it may be better frozen.
Granted by the time we actually tasted the drinks, they weren't as cold as they should have been for drinking. When I tried it again after refrigerating, it was even thicker. But I liked it. I could actually see it being an alternative between meal snack.
I drank it a few hours after our brunch, and it was very filling. That fullness probably comes from the 9 grams of protein. It also has probiotics, which is great for digestion (and eliminating belly bulge, I might add! ha!)
The downside for me was that it has a lot of sugar. 32 grams of sugar to be exact. I think they could try a natural sugar alternative or something.
