Finding organic vegetable drinks, and green drinks that actually taste good and I can consistently drink has been tough. Good organic vegetable drinks such as "The Perfect Food", and "True Greens" (by other companies) are healthy. However, the problem is drinking them over time without my body starting the gag reflex from the taste of licking a lawnmower. I could only tolerate drinking them for a few weeks, then I would stop. The only reason I would drink them at all is because of the healthy live whole foods in them. My hope was to find something that actually tasted good because that would make all the difference in the world regarding my staying consistent.
Then I accidentally ran into Uri International's The Feast. They claimed it tasted good. Though I found this hard to believe because I never drank any nutrient dense organic vegetable drinks (that had any serious variety of vegetables) which tasted good. So I was extremely skeptical. But it had a 90-day guarantee so I figured, what do I have to lose?
I got my order in 2 days and opened up my canister of the Feast. It looked a brownish green. The first thing I did was smell it. Oh oh. It had a soft scent of greens but not repugnant whatsoever (like a few other green drinks I've tried in the past). I took my shaker and mixed 1 serving. I had my fingers ready to pinch my nose if it tasted bad.
What a surprise! It actually tasted good! They say it has a natural mixed berry flavor. To me, it has a rich, "nutty", sweet berry flavor, but not too sweet. I knew instantly this was a "green" vegetable drink I could take all the time to help make my body more alkaline and balanced pH.
The idea I can get 30 antioxidant rich fruits and berries, 30 superfood greens and vegetables, 11 nutrient dense seeds, nuts & sprouts, 83 active enzymes & fulvic minerals, and 22 resilient probiotics in a good tasting drink is a dream come true.
The Feast and The Feast SuperCharged are clear winners.

Is this suitable for vegans? I saw in the list of ingredients "lactobacillus casei" which sounds suspiciously like "casein" -- do you have any more information about those ingredients? Also - it looks like they focus... more »

Good questions, Jenn. Yes, the Feast is suitable for a 100% vegan diet. No animal products or by-products are used. Everything is plant-based from whole foods except for the friendly probiotics. "Lactobacillus casei... more »
