I’m always interested in healthy new drinks. I have tried the raw meal green powder drink stuff that is packed with vitamins and minerals and pink elephants and stuff… but honestly the drink tastes horrible. I couldn’t drink it anymore.
There’s a new healthy drink out, called Nopalea. It comes from the Nopal cactus and, according to the website, native folks have been dirnking it for hundreds of years. Nopalea contains betalains, powerful antioxidants and a natural pigment in fruits and vegetables that have been scientifically proven to reduce inflammation. Beets, Swiss chard, and varieties of cacti contain betalains, producing the distinctive bright red or orange-ish color. These ingredients helps the body by reducing inflammation from, for example, sore or painful joints and cleansing the body of daily toxins. I have read in health books that antioxidants help the body remove free radical ells
There’s this website that is giving away free 32-ounce samples of Nopalea (1-800-203-7063), or go to their website, Nopalea.com. It looks like a great deal! I’m all for natural foods and healthy drinks, especially anything that tastes better than that disgusting raw meal powder stuff. *sucks teeth*
What say you? Have you heard of Nopalea or ever tried it? I’d like to know.


Life is never dull, and exciting things just seem to always happen to me... why me... when I'm not running around the house fixing things, I'm a freelance writer for national media outlets like USAToday.com, Salon.com, and others. I've even been interviewed by TIME and The Wall Street Journal about blogging. Can you believe it?! Here is where I express my zany, creative, motherly side.
