I am eager to try this product. I enjoy the other yerba mate products, and there are no artificial products in this..not to mention its organic.. also it has goji berry and ginger in it which are both very good for you. I wouldnt compare this to your regular energy shot and I will definitely be giving this a shot!

I agree that “quick fixes” for optimum health are not possible but anyone that drinks a cup of coffee or black tea is doing the same thing. Add a danish & glucose levels and satisfaction levels shoot up. I own a food vending co. and people need quick fixes just to make it through the monotony sometimes. A piece of chocolate not only gives you small doses of caffeine but sometimes heals the soul!

Well I live in the real world where a nice kick would be appreciated at about 4 pm and I’m looking forward to trying this. Thank you for telling us about it.

I’m with Zucchini Breath. Energy Drinks are not only bad for you, they contribute to our culture of doing too much and expecting instant fixes.

If you need a boost in energy eat a variety of real food, green veges, fruit, nuts and grains daily.

You will never get lasting energy from some fractured “supplement”.

Cheers to you!

I would not say there is pride regarding working many hours, but we are not asked to work that many by WFM…it is more about a passion we have for the positive work we believe we do every day. So, many of us could surely limit the time we spend working, but when you believe in what you do and have a sense of ownership & mission, you often choose to work more and hours melt away. I hope that everyone finds a career path that they are so passionate about that they have the time, energy and commitment our team members have. Whole Foods Market is different which is why people put in that type of time, but also why the company has been listed as part of the Fortune’s 100 Best Companies to work for every year since they started that honor.

So, you’re proud of the fact that your company is so poorly structured that you’re working 50 to 70-hour weeks? What is this, Walmart or Whole Foods? I thought you guys were different.
