The Berry That Proved Me Wrong (In 30 Seconds Flat)

Hey there, I’m Hank Watt, a co-founder of Nature’s Wild Berry and your friendly neighborhood skeptic-turned-superfan. If you’re reading this, congratulations, you’ve stumbled upon the very first blog post. And where better to start than at the beginning?

Back in 2013, I was the most hard-to-impress person you could meet. I thought I had the world figured out at 30. If something sounded too good to be true, it definitely was. And these so-called “miracle berries” claiming to make sour things taste sweet? No way. If they existed, they wouldn’t work. If they worked, they wouldn’t work on me. If they did work on me, I wouldn’t be impressed. And if I was impressed, they’d just be another gimmick I’d forget about.

But then… 30 seconds changed everything.

My friend, Juliano, and I were turning my home kitchen into a juice bar when he handed me a glass of juice that could make a lemon cry. We’re talking 25% celery, 25% peeled cucumber, 20dandelion, and 30% lemon. This was the kind of drink that lets you know real quick how much you value taste vs. nutrition. I popped a berry in my mouth, let it coat my taste buds, and took a sip.

It. Was. Sweet.

Like, actually delicious. Like, "I could crave this" level of good. Even with the lemon peel on, it was magic. And that was the moment I became a believer.

Now, let’s rewind just a few months. Thanksgiving had just happened and I was sitting at over 255 pounds, size 52 waist, pre-diabetic, watching Fat, Sick, and Nearly Dead. That documentary had me thinking about juice fasting, but let’s be real. I wasn’t brave enough to pull the trigger for 30 days, let alone 60 or 90. Still, I knew I needed to get the right nutrients into my body.

Problem was, most ready-to-drink juices are loaded with apple, pineapple, pear, agave or honey. Because, let’s face it, bad-tasting juice doesn’t sell. But I refused to waste time and money. If I was going to do this, I needed to make juice that was actually healthy but, just as important, something I’d want to drink every day.

That’s how the dots connected. I saw the documentary the day after Thanksgiving, got myself a Breville juicer for Christmas and by March I had stumbled onto the berry that changed everything.

But here’s where it gets even wilder. On the exact same day I learned about this berry, so did my best friend who was 3,000 miles away. How we each got there? Two completely different roads. And that, my new friend, is where we’ll pick up next time.

Before I go, a few things:

1) I’ll be posting a new blog at the same time every week, Wednesdays.

2) Each one will be short, sweet and packed with something new and fun to try with the berry.

3) I’ll be answering all your burning questions over time and eventually bringing in qualified experts. Leave comments, don't just lurk!

4) Every post will have an Easter egg hidden in plain sight. I'm talking a stealth alphanumeric discount code that’s live for 48 hours only. It's the one with a word and a number smashed together. Copy it, paste it in the discount code section and save yourself 20% every Wednesday or Thursday. It's stackable with promos, shipping discounts AND subscriptions. Just my way of saying thanks for joining us for the ride!
