Note from Wayne: Uri products incorporate an abundance of live, organic raw foods into their superfoods whole-foods drinks line. I encourage you to give them a try ... especially "The Feast". The Feast is rich with many nutrient-dense live whole foods. Even the hard-core red meat eater can drink this, and truly enjoy it. The Feast actually tastes good which is extremely rare for a "green" drink superfood. I hope you enjoyed this article here at www.green-drinks.com.
