EBOOST Cocktail You may have read this article from Thrillist about the new EBOOST margarita being served at Lure FishBar in New York. It contains all kinds of healthy juices like orange, clementine, nectarine and grapefruit, together with a shot of the new Acai-Pomegranate EBOOST. Plus premium tequila, which is only healthy in a sinus-clearing kind of way.

Anyway, that got us thinking about other possibilities for EBOOST cocktails. We came up with these two. What can you come up with?

Cranberry Surprise
Mix one packet of orange EBOOST with 6oz cranberry juice and 4oz soda water. Add lime.

EBOOST Palmer
Mix one packet Pink Lemonade with 8oz iced tea and 2oz soda water. Add lemon.

Drink Your Veggies

December 11, 2009

We all know that EBOOST is chock full of essential vitamins and minerals. However, some people think that a healthy diet rich in fruits and vegetables is all a body needs. Don’t get me wrong–we’re not knocking fruits and veggies. EBOOST fans are some of the healthiest folks around. But have you ever wondered exactly how many servings you’d need to eat in order to match the nutrition in a single serving of EBOOST? We did, so we asked Dr Sharon Richter to put together a comparison for some of the major EBOOST ingredients.

In case you don’t have the patience to read the fine print, here’s a summary. You can drink one glass of EBOOST, or you can eat 50g potatoes, 26 cups brussels sprouts, 7 cups bok choy, 3.8 cups papaya, 10 ears of corn, 67 cups celery, 4.2 cups of blackberries and 1.2 bananas. Unless you’re living in a zoo, we think the choice is clear. (Disclaimer: EBOOST not recommended for gorillas, elephants and other animals. Only party animals need apply.)
