Review: Navitas Naturals, Fruit Powders

January 23rd, 2011

Navitas Naturals cut through all the hype and confusion of the red drink market and went straight to the source: pure fruit powder. Navitas products are simply pure fruits or fruit powders with no formulations, no mixtures, no other ingredients. You get pure pomegranate powder or pure acai powder. If you want a mixture, buy the ones you want and mix them yourself. Talk about making things pure and simple!

Their powders and fruits are well chosen and the company is careful about sourcing its products from companies that use sustainable, chemical-free farming and harvesting processes. Then they bring those source elements to you. If you want to add extra Goji or Acai to your smoothies, this is where you can get the pure fruit powders. Their products are on the expensive side, but you’re getting pure fruit, so it’s worth considering this option.
