Tired of Being Tired?
I know I am!
I had the opportunity to review FRS Healthy Performance drinks and chews. I have to say these drinks definitely exceeded my expectations. I have always been a protein and energy drink drinker. The problem is when companies have ventured away from the chocolate/vanilla/strawberry base it seems to not taste so good. Not FRS, they made sure that it taste good without losing any of its health benefits.
What makes FRS different from other drinks?
All FRS drink contain Quercetin, a powerful all-natural antioxidant found in foods like blueberries, apples and grapes that naturally triggers your cells’ ability to produce their own energy—without a crash. Quercetin has also been shown in multiple clinical trials to increase endurance, enhance mental acuity, support the immune system, and act as an anti-inflammmatory.
How does Quercetin work?
Instead of using lots of caffeine and sugar to give your body a lift, FRS activates your body's own energy-producing mechanisms for sustained energy without fear of crashing.
Quercetin acts in the body as a “super fuel” that mimics the effects of exercise by enhancing the production of the body's mitochondria, the energy-producing units in cells. Traditionally, exercise training has been the only practical way to increase the amount of mitochondria in cells.
FRS was developed as a fatigue-fighting health drink by a team of scientists, including Dr. Mitsunori Ono, PhD. It was then tested and refined by Dr. Ono and Dr. Lan Bo Chen, PhD. who, at the time, were both researchers at Harvard University.
FRS Healthy Performance drinks are broke down into 4 categories Energy, Protein, Weight Management, and Defense.
I was given the Wild Berry and Cherry Limeade Energy drinks. My husband and I tried both. He really liked the Wild Berry, but did not like the Cherry Limeade. I liked both of the flavors but the Wild Berry definitely tasted the best. And I did feel that small kick of sustained energy after drinking them.
I was given a pack of on the go powders in orange, however I am saving them for my many airplane trips I have planned in 2013. Its going to be part of my #2013Epicness, stay tuned!
The Protein drinks were probably my favorite. I was given the Orange Cream and Blackberry Acai. The Orange Cream was sooo good. We put it over ice and it was like drinking an orange dreamsicle. Each had 25 grams of protein per bottle. We liked it so much we have already ordered more of it.
On my way to Crossfit on Christmas Eve, I drank the FRS Healthy Slim Strawberry Melon. It was really good too. Very light taste.
The Healthy Slim has 20 calories, so I also ate the FRS natural Energy chews during class. They were not great in taste but did provide the boost of energy I needed to finish the WOD. I want to try them in my next race so I am saving the hard chews to test them out on a run. I think they are going to do really well. Oh and for those of you that have used chews and stuff during a workout, they did not leave an after taste, which is a plus for me.
I was not given a Defense to try, however based on how the other drinks tasted and performed, I am sure it does exactly what they say it does.
I hope that you guys will give FRS Healthy Performance a try. If you are like me and very busy, it is nice to have a drink you can just grab and go. To find out where you can buy FRS locally CLICK HERE!
