    I just wanted to tell you how disappointed I was in Thrive. After your last video, I decided to check it out. It asked what I would use for payment (?) I hadn’t even looked at the products yet. I scrolled down maybe 4 items then thought I wasn’t interested and went off the site. A couple of days later I was on my bank site and I saw a charge for $59?? I never authorized a purchase, so called and indeed, they had charged my account. They said you can’t view their site without paying. I told the representative I went on your site because of you, and she informed me you are a partner in Thrive. The whole thing left a very bad taste in my mouth.

    I think one reason why companies may add some fruit powders to their "super powder" blends is to try and make them - or at least sound as if it makes them - taste a lot better/sweeter than if they didn't have them. Since fruit is much better/sweeter tasting in general than vegetables, or the other ingredients usually found in greens powders. The same way that adding fruits - banana, berries, etc make a vegetable smoothie taste a LOT BETTER, and SWEETER.
