“In one 11 ounce serving of Orgain, you can drink 255 nutrient dense calories with a perfect 2:1 complex carbohydrate to protein ratio that gives you a delicious, organic meal anytime, anywhere”
(See Giveaway Details Below! (NOW CLOSED)
First, let me say we are so honored to have Orgain join CeliacCorner’s family of sponsors. We take pride in introducing healthy, gluten-free products to our visitors, and certainly Orgain ready-to-drink nutritional shakes are all that and more! Orgain (“Or” for Organic “Gain” for the benefits your body will gain!) was developed by Dr. Andrew Abraham, a practicing physician and cancer survivor. While Dr. Abraham was recovering from his illness, he searched for a healthy nutritional beverage to help nourish his body back to health but found those available on the market were filled with sugar and other junk ingredients. So, taking matters into his own hands, he created his own and after several years of perfecting the beverage for ultimate nutritional value, Orgain was born! Dr. Abraham created a combination of organic (whey) protein, complex carbohydrates, fiber and a healthy immune and vitamin blend which may just make Orgain one of the healthiest, if not THE healthiest, beverages on the market today.
The shakes contain quality ingredients such as brown rice, green tea and pomegranate extracts to name a few, as well as an outstanding antioxidant equivalent (based on the ORAC value* of 16,000) of 10 servings of organic fruits and vegetables including blueberries, bananas, acai berry, apple, raspberry, kale, beets, carrots, spinach, tomatoes! With all those blended veggies, you might think the taste would be a little “funky”, but I have to say they are really delicious! Lightly sweetened (13 g of sugar/255 nutrient-dense calories) with organic evaporated cane juice, the shakes come in three (11 oz.) yum flavors: Creamy Chocolate Fudge, Sweet Vanilla Bean, and Iced Café Mocha, and are at their best chilled. I used my sample shakes as a breakfast replacement and felt fully satisfied until lunchtime, never experiencing a hunger pang. I also looked forward to an occasional shake as a mid-day snack and enjoyed the energy boost it provided, and without caffeine!
Orgain is free of gluten, corn syrup, caffeine, preservatives, saturated fat, hormones, antibiotics and artificial flavorings. For a complete ingredient list visit: http://www.drinkorgain.com/
How does Orgain compare to other nutritional shakes on the market? Very well indeed, just have a look at this comparison chart from their website: http://www.drinkorgain.com/
Orgain shakes are perfect for:
Busy, on-the-go people – grab one as a breakfast (or other meal) replacement and get the required fruits and veggies you need. We all know how difficult it is to consume the recommended amounts of fruits and veggies. Just drink one (or two) shakes a day and you’re covered. Check!
Weight management – whether you want to lose or add weight!
Athletes – Orgain is a great post-workout drink as each shake contains 16 grams of high quality organic protein to help build lean muscle!
Anyone recovering from illness – regain your energy back by drinking a nutritionally-balanced beverage, which can help promote a healthy immune system. Dr. Abraham recommends Orgain for patients going through chemotherapy or any illness to help nourish the body.
Why we think Orgain is great!

July 11, 2012 at 9:16 pmLove Orgain. Take it to work and use it as a meal replacement. My favorite is the Iced Mocha. Thanks for making a nutritious drink that’s really tasty.

July 11, 2012 at 2:37 pmMy father has Stage IV Cancer. He loves these drinks and was really saddened when they ran out at Costco. I really dislike the Ensure drinks he was drinking before. Filled with sugar and not much wholesome natural ingredients. He’d be happy to drink Orgain again!

July 11, 2012 at 10:59 amI was recently diagnosed with gastroparesis and saw a tutorial video by Crystal Saltrelli, CHC. She uses Orgain in her diet and said it was the best meal replacement drink. I can’t find it at Trader Joe’s and ou Whole Foods market doesn’t open until October. It would be great for me to take to work, I work at night and often miss dinner. I usually bring a small ziplock of gluten free Rice Chex but need something with more nutritional value. Orgain would be great for my missed dinner meal and would fit in my purse!

July 8, 2012 at 10:45 amI am always on the go with school but trying to loose some of the weight I gained once I figured out I had Celiac Disease. Its been a bit of a struggle, I’m not going to lie. I am looking for something gluten free and nutritious that I can eat/drink on the go and not pick up some candy bar that I know is gluten free.
