For some reason, I pick up a "Naked (either superfood or carrot juice) whenever I feel a little under the weather or after a late night out. I guess the look of the bottle, the text on the label and the actual texture and look of the drink make my mind believe that its superhealthy. And hey, maybe it is! I do feel better after Naked :-)
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.
I've got fruit cravings during my pregnancy, and fruit juice is just as good as fresh fruit to handle my cravings. I love love love fruit juice, so this really hit the spot.
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...
