Naked Juice

Okay, I started out with Red Machine and have been in love ever since.  It is a little frustrating that even on sale, these 15 oz smoothies are the same price as an entire gallon of other juices, but I guess you pay more for "no sugar added" and "not from concentrate."  But they are great to fulfill those mid morning cravings and a perfect substitution for desert.  Because of my current addiction to them, I tend to ignore the price.  I definitely recommend that you try these, just be choosy, and don't let one flavor turn you off.

The bad news, some flavors just don't taste good.  I tried Blue Machine today because they were out of my usual.  BLEH!  I thought it was terrible, I imagine you would get a similar sensation when drinking Drano!  It literally made my mouth tingle, and not in a good way.  Here's a theory:  Anyone ever do that test in science class during genealogy to see if you were able to taste PTC (Phenylthiocarbamide)?  Well when I did that test, I was a supertaster, which means the stuff made me feel like I was going to be ill!  That's the sensation this reminded me of...so I guess there is a possibility that there is perhaps some broccoli mixed in this one somewhere, because that is the most common occurrence of PTC if I remember correctly...anyways, I just wanted to make that observation in case anyone else had a similar experience.

Naked Juice has failed to respond to concerns from cyclists about this violation and others in NYC - http://nyc.mybikelane.com/post/index/6526

We will be doing our best to ensure that as many people as possible see this photo and discover that Naked Juice is hiding something in NYC - their disregard for the safety of cyclists.

These products are really tasty.  We don't buy them often because they do cost quite a bit around here.  I like to buy them as a treat for my kids.  We havn't tried any flavor that wasn't GREAT!

I used to drink loads of these last year while at school. They are supposed to be made from fresh fruit and need to be refrigerated. I tried most flavors but most were too sweet for me. Especially the ones that had fruit concentrates like pomegranate. The one I really liked and went back to was the green superfood. It is made of vegetables mostly. I found that the protein one actually filled me up quite a bit. The energy ones have guarana, which made me a bit jittery so I stopped drinking those. Overall it's not a bad product, I would like to see an organic version of it though. The price is more reasonable than other comparable juices so they are a good value. I also like that they list how much fruit is in every bottle and all the nutrients. Each bottle is actually 2 servings, so if you are worried about sugar intake keep that in mind. They state that the sugar is only from fruit, but still...
