Review: Fruits of the Earth
April 18th, 2009
If you’re looking for a red drink that has high levels of fruit and berry antioxidants, minerals, and vitamins, then this is a product you should be looking at. It’s one of the top red drink superfood products on the market, with a huge variety of fruits and some veggies and other grasses. Like the label says, this product is 80% fruits and 20% superfoods (veggies and grasses) — that’s 100% functional ingredients. The formulator, Jameth Sheridan, knows how to get the most nutrition for the best price and has put together a rich formula for daily use. The taste is very fruity and naturally sweet and tart. At $4.87 per dry ounce and $1.31 per 8oz liquid serving, this is one of my top choices.
Manufacturer’s Description
Fruits of The Earth™ is a high antioxidant, potent combination of natures most nutritive fruits from around the world. Dried at low temperatures to preserve heat sensitive elements. 80% of the formula is fruit. Fruits are somewhat acid forming, so 20% of the formula is intentionally alkaline forming vegetables (beet juice, wheat grass and barley grass, Nopal Cactus). The ultra-finely ground and highly bioavailable whole leaf grasses provide a huge source of nutrition including essential alkalinity and better blood sugar balance.* Actual Food™ Chromium is also added to support healthy metabolism and blood sugar levels.* Unlike other “Food Type” forms of nutrients, this Chromium is 100% organically bound. It is not merely in the “form” of food, it is Food!
• No Brown Rice or Oat Fillers
• 80% Fruits, 20% Alkalizing Superfoods, 100% Hard-Core

Taste
Fruity with natural sweetness and tartness. As with all dry mixes, the flavor depends on how you mix it. The more liquid you use, the less flavor it will have. One tablespoon mixed with 8oz of water produces a fairly weak, but tasty drink. I prefer it with less water, or with a mild juice, such as apple or grape.
Pros
Excellent formulation for potent red superfoods. No fillers, flavorings, or sweeteners. Good price and excellent laboratory facilities.
Cons
None.

Would you recommend taking this in addition to vitamineral green? In general is it wise to take 1 serving of a green and red a day, perhaps at different times?

Sure, you can take both every day. Just pay attention to your body’s reaction. Taking them at different times is a good idea.

what’s more important a red or green drink?
5. admin | May 18th, 2011 at 11:58 am
Brian,
I’ll go out on a limb and say that for MOST Americans, a green drink is more important than a red drink. This is because the SAD (Standard American Diet) is lacking in greens and is generally too acidic. So the alkalizing effects of the green drink, along with the green nutrients is an important “base” from which to add other nutrients. Again, this is a generalization and ultimately depends on the individual’s diet.
