I am not by nature a fruit lover, lucky I eat my veggies but for whatever reason fruits never appealed to me and knowing how important it is to get these important foods into my system got me to wonder, how can I get my daily requirements without actual chewing or minimal chewing. I decided to purchase the not exactly cheap fruit2day drinks. It was $2.99 2-6oz bottles at my local grocery and price my go up or down depending on where you buy.
According to their website: http://www.fruit2day.com/ they claim to provide you with 2 servings of your daily fruit intake has 110-120 calories, no sugar added and "all-natural" which can mean many things and are not specified in the site. I e-mailed the company for more information on what exactly makes it all-natural as you will observe has an asterisk on the site and am waiting the reply.
The "lab"decided on Mango Peach.We tasted several bottles as well as actual mango and peach. Tasted them for tartness and sweetness which should only come from the fruits themselves. We realized that the drink was a bit of a false sell. It also has white grape juice, pineapple puree and other ingredients all from concentrate. We did however enjoyed the little pieces of mango and I believe peaches in the drink. For those like me who do not make the time for actual fruit, it will do in a pinch. Verdict: Sweet, delicious but save some bucks and get the real thing.
Cheers!
