Drink Me

As a food writer, I often get to eat really good food. Most of the time, it’s great…but this one time, a box of instant veggie/herb grass health drink satchets landed on my desk and I had to try it. It promised a whole lot of goodness in the sealed, single portion packs, and all a busy person had to do was stir it into a cup of water and voila! Your day’s worth of veg and fruits are ready for consumption in a few mouthfuls. Except that the taste of all this goodness wasn’t as wonderful as promised, and even the drink looked back at me in worried trepidation.
