For about 3 years I was addicted to pure orange juice (I hate concentrate!). I’d buy a couple of gallons at Costco and chug on average 1/3 gallon a day, sometime an entire gallon (depending how hot it was outside).

My wife started saying I was going to become diabetic (even pure orange juice has loads of sugar). She’s going to nursing school, but I still kept chugging away. Then a few friends said the same thing, and I started to worry.

That’s when I got the idea to chug something healthy. I found the most healthy drink on the planet: Orovox. It has Acai in it (which I grew to love in Brazil), and a bunch of other crazy-healthy ingredients (Acai, Pineapple, Red Grape, White Grape, Pomegranate, Red Raspberry, Acerola, Aronia, Elderberry, Cranberry, Goji, Mangosteen, Barley, Cayenne Pepper, Buckwheat, Flaxseed, Alfalfa Sprout, Lactobacillus Acidophilus, Soy Isoflavines, Garlic, Wheatgrass, Green Tea, ALA, DMAE, Idebenone, Ascorbic Acid, Citric Acid)

I’ve seen people drink this with a wimpy shot glass. The myth is that it’s so concentrated it will make you sick or give you diarrhea (whatever!). I’ve been chugging Orovox for 6 months. I just like the taste, but if it’s going to make me live to 300, I won’t complain.

So here is how to chug Orovox

Step 1: Open All 4 Bottles (see my previous post)

Step 2: Drain all 4 Bottles into an Empty Milk Jug

Step 3: Refrigerate

Step 4: Chug

I lived in Brazil where the Acai (ah-sigh-ee) berry is sold. I don’t think I ever saw it growing on a tree, but it’s definitely popular. When I returned, the only thing I’ve found that resembles authentic Brazilian Acai is Orovox.

I’ve had 4 bottles of Orovox shipped to me for about 6 months. I LOVE the juice. To me it tastes like Acai, but I’m pretty sure it’s got some added health benefits.

BUT…Orovox is not easy to open , and there are four of them, so it can get kind of annoying. I had to invent my own method, which works like a charm.

Step 1: Slice the Plastic Seal

Take a bottle of Orovox and a serrated knife (I use a standard steak knife). Slice the seal at the bottom of the lid.

Step 2: Use Pliers to Finish the Job

I literally keep these pliers in my kitchen drawer for this purpose alone.

WARNING: Be gentle with the pliers! I squeezed too hard once and shattered the neck, ruining the whole bottle (I guess I could have taken the risk of Orovox with shards of glass).
