I am going to order some.. I am a self professed AchievOne junkie who moved onto Believe when the glass bottle AO was no longer available. I love the bottles of crack.. have had one a day for the last 6 years. So.. I shot Ed a message to ask about this but haven't heard back.. Just gonna order some and try it. Much as I love my good friend Suze.. if I can save $50.00 in shipping for something that is comparable - I am gonna have to do it.
:-) Interested to hear from y'all on this.

I am really hoping that this is a good drink! I'm looking forward to receiving the order and trying it... and, T2Nashville... you will be right there with me when I pop open that chilled bottle in EVERY flavor... so don't you worry yourself about that!  |

Samples were sent to the BTV MegaPlex so expect me to have an opinion directly after we shoot (or even during) on Saturday.. :-)
I 'specially miss the Vanilla Nut AO so can't wait to try the Vanilla ProJoe.

OK Ed. I hear they are Susan Maria's Believe RTD's. Did you all buy the formula? Get rights to relabel? A friend of mine tried them today and she said identical, SAME taste as believe. what's the scoop?

I don't know if I would agree that they are Suze's Believe. I tried the Vanilla and the Mocha one today. Suze doesn't yet have a Vanilla flavor released although there is one coming out soon - Creme Brule. The Vanilla ProJoe reminds me of the old AO Vanilla Nut.. but the consistency is a little more watered down.. which isn't bad for some folks cuz I have heard that the original AO and Believe are a bit too creamy for some folks (not for me.. I love the consistency).. Since I haven't had a Vanilla AO in ages it was like saying hello to an old friend.
The Mocha flavored one I don't think tastes like Believe.. The chocolate flavor is not as pronounced and it isn't as sweet. It kinda reminds me of Believe when it was first released - before Suze 'tweaked' it. And again.. a little more watered down then Believe
All in all they were pretty good. I am interested to hear the back story about ProJoe.. Mostly cuz I'm nosey.. but I definitely don't think they are an EXACT copy of Believe.

I tried the Nillacchino today. It does not taste like the formula of Believe (before tweaking) that I've had. This one though won't be my favorite. It does remind me of the cappuccino from AO and it wasn't my favorite either. It's not bad, just that I always liked the mocha in AO best.

I tried the Vanilla and LOVED it!!
And I wasn't an AO fan so I can't think they are the same formula.
But then...it's been a long time since I had tried AO so who knows.
Gonna try the Chia this evening.

Here's a review on the mocha and chai
Mocha - pretty thin and not as sweet as I like, but I added a splenda pack and a squirt of SF Davinci and - WOWZA - that's what I'm talking about! Also a nice little caffeine buzz too! LOL I think it does have a little protein-y aftertaste, but not bad.
Chai - LOVE LOVE LOVE It straight outta the bottle. Wow, it's good. I cant detect any aftertaste.
Will try the nilla in a bit. Cant wait.

LOL, isn't it funny how different our tastes are? I agree, chai tea straight. That's awesome.
I tried Mocha yesterday morning. Half the bottle is still in my fridge. Not an IMMEDIATE fan but will take some getting used to. I thought it was real sweet! It had a hint of hazelnut to me, or something like it, which I'm not a fan of.

This morning, I put a squirt of Monin SF Dark choc sauce in the mocha, and a little bit of espresso powder. It made it much better, and I gobbled it all down fast! I think it just needed a little more coffee taste.

I came home last night to find my box on my doorstep! Woo Hoo! They were nice and COLD, since I live in Iowa, so of course I had to try one right away. I picked the Mocha. I too, thought it could have a stronger coffee flavor, but then again, I really like my coffee drinks strong! I think it would be really good with some espresso powder added--I'll have to pick some up. It had a nice buzz to it though, and I thought it was actually pretty filling--moreso than I expected.
I brought the vanilla to have at work this afternoon, and haven't tried the Chai yet.
The fun thing is that I also have a shipment coming from BE today, and I ordered a single bottle of each of the Believe flavors. I can't wait to try all these options and pick some favorites!

I've been putting espresso powder in mine this week too because, I really like the chai but not really the coffee flavors too much. It helps make them stronger and more coffee-ish.
