This is one of the best acai drinks you’ll find. This is pure Brazilian amazon acai juice with pure sugar cane juice used as a sweetener (my favorite sweetener for health and taste!). The taste of this juice is excellent…not too thick or strong (acai can get bitter and difficult to digest if it’s too pure), but also not diluted in any way. It’s a perfect acai. My wife and I drink the entire 32oz bottle in a few days and felt great! I really recommend this one. The company is small and quality oriented and founded by Brazilians. You won’t find a better pure acai juice and the price is fair at $0.26 per ounce.

The star fruit (technical name Carambola), is known all over the world, but originated in Southeast Asia. It’s the perfect fruit to enhance vitamin A, B Complex and C, plus it offers minerals like phosphorus, calcium, iron and potassium. The Carambola fruit has a slightly astringent taste, being high in oxalic acid which has digestive properties. Its highly recommended for cocktails, or adding to your smoothies and vitamin shakes, or just chilled…it’s ready to drink. It’s a great all-around drink and the price is comparable to other bottled drinks.
Manufacturer’s Description

Star fruit juice
Taste
The taste of this unusual drink is simply the natural taste of star fruit. What does a star fruit taste like? Well, it’s something like a cross between unsweetened apple juice and peach juice. Sound good? It is. It’s mild in flavor and sweetness, making it perfect for drinking by itself or mixing with other juices or even for making cocktails. It’s slightly acidic and goes really well as a base for your morning smoothies. Just add fresh or frozen berries, your favorite botanical extracts, blend and drink up!

This is an amazing drink with a focus on offering plenty of digestive enzymes to help the body break down nutrients, digest food and eliminate waste. There are several flavors and they are all quite tasty. A small amount each morning goes a long way if you drink this consistently. With a combination of probiotics and fruit nutrients, Goodbelly makes an excellent morning drink or addition to your smoothie…and they really work! This probiotic drink has the advantage of being a dairy free product, for those who cannot tolerate dairy products. Besides being dairy free, they are soy and gluten free and completely vegan. They are a little on the expensive side, but if you buy the large size, you’ll save a bundle.
Manufacturer’s Description
That’s right, GoodBelly–a fruit-based probiotic fruit drink packed full of serious probiotics and nutrients. GoodBelly Multi is a 2.7 oz. “shot” and GoodBelly Probiotic Fruit Drink in quarts is a powerhouse breakfast fruit drink for the whole family. Summer-ripe peaches are blended with deliciously tangy mangoes. Mangoes contain enzymes that aid in digestion and intestinal health, and they’re jam-packed with antioxidants too.

Taste
The taste is a bit like a yogurt, a little bit sour, but with plenty of fruit flavor too. These drinks are not sugary or sweet, but they have evaporated cane juice as a sweetener, which is one of my favorite sweeteners. Cane juice is pure sucrose and burns off quickly if you’re active. The peach and mango flavors are subtle and natural.
Where to Buy
Safeway, Sunflower Market, Vons Supermarkets, Whole foods Stores, Albertson’s
