Review: Bossa Nova SuperFruit

I like these types of mixtures, offering a key berry (in this case Acai) along with one other fruit. The result is a great-tasting, and very simple and pure formula with no fillers and no artificial sweeteners (it’s sweetened with agave nectar). These juices are somehow more fresh tasting than other acai mixtures. The combinations are well chosen for flavor and antioxidants and the price is reasonable.

Manufacturer’s Description

Acai is hailed as a top superfruit for its antioxidant power. Bossa Nova’s acai is sustainably wildharvested from the Amazon and specially processed to retain the best of the berry’s nutritional promise.

Review: Fruits of the Earth

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.

Review: Cell-Nique

The Cell-Nique drinks are a cross between green drinks and red drinks and, honestly, they are probably more on the green drink side. But most of the flavors are fruity from natural flavorings, so we’ve put them here in the RedDrinks lineup. Nutritionally, these are quite nice and comparable to a serving of just about any of the well-rounded green drink formulas listed on our GreenDrinkReviews site. The taste of these drinks is not strong and I found myself wishing there was more of a berry or fruit presence. At $3.17 per bottle, these are a decent choice for a healthy ready-made beverage, but if I were at home, I’d probably choose a green drink powder mix over these drinks if I really wanted a nutrition drink. The benefit of these drinks is that they are ready to drink.
