Drink it in

Sick of odwalla? Had it w/ smoothies? How about a banana and cardamom Dahlicious? New frothy Indian drink from a Babson grad who lives in Tewksbury seems to be taking Whole Foods by storm. The health drink, made w/ gourmet yogurt, comes in five flavors — mango is the most popular. Okay, I don't know how much it costs, but the Whole Foods label gives you an idea. I'm meeting w/ the ceo on Friday and will report back. I assume they are a pretty penny because the fruit comes with a story, and the drinks are made in a top organic dairy barn in upper state NY. I for one am beginning to realize you gotta pay extra if you're gonna feel good. Notice how sugar-filled the "smoothies" sold in Asian markets are around here? And really what could be more important than what we ingest? Has anyone tried Dahlicious? Could be the Rockstar equivalent for those of us more likely to hit the gym than the mosh pit. Check Life Alive, they may carry it soon.
THE RESULT: I sipped a Mango-go for an eye opener this a.m. Easy on the stomach, its a good precursor to the harshness of black coffee in bed. I like this flavor a lot. A cross between a smoothie/yogurt drink, lassi (as the drink is called in India) is a nice change from other health drinks I've sipped. The banana and cardamon was good too. But my money's on mango. As a pro-biotic, the live cultures help the digestive track sing.
