Switch-a-roo and Funky Drink Mix

Yesterday I just wasn't "feeling" the 4 mile Tempo run - part of me wanted to run, but a lot of me just wanted to hang out. So we hung out. I was tired and hungry and happy to be home.

Before I left for the day I decided that it was time to mix up one of the packets of drink mix that I have had from a couple of StrideBoxes ago. It's called Achiva Native Energy - my individual serving was Chai Tea.

According to the directions on the packet I had to add the contents to 12 oz of water, shake and then let it sit for 10 minutes. Since I was using a Nalgene type water bottle I could really tell what it looked like. I could tell that it wasn't clear....hmmmm...

So after the allotted time I took a sip and it was a little chunky, ahh, Chia seeds. After another sip, I decided I would wait until I got home to consume some more. The other thing, it did not even possess any essence of Chai Tea.

I got home and grabbed a glass, gave the bottle one more shake and poured it out...check it out -

EWWWW - I think I was okay with it in my dark bottle! At this point I was having some serious problems. NOW I know exactly what I slurped down...so gross!!! It doesn't even stay in suspension! I can't drink something that I need to constantly stir. Can you imagine?! A giant clump of sludge at the bottom of the glass?!

Yeah, I'm pretty sure that I will NOT buy this drink mix - even if my life depended on it!
