Naked Juice

Just drank the boosted Green Machine. Felt funny, dull ache in my head… oh great, now I read the label. Healthy? Baloney! 53g of sugar. I drink diet soda and then make this mistake. Want to go green? Stay in the produce section away and away from these concoctions.

My comments here are about the actual Naked Juice drinks, as opposed to any particular location that sells them. The various flavors of the Naked Juices, of course, tastes super delicious, especially its Protein Pickups and Blue Mountain flavors. And that is why I give this product four stars. The reason i do not give it the full five stars, is for two reasons. One is, that I wish they had kept their former name of Hansen’s Juices. Calling it Naked Juice is really awkward when I mention them in a polite conversation I may be having with a person. More importantly, while these drinks are healthy, their health benefits are almost cancelled by the fact that the drinks are very low in dietary fat and fiber. See, dietary fat and fiber help slow down the absorption of sugar, which is so very important to those of us struggling with our weight, or who suffer from diabetes-​related diseases.

i am an addict. Expensive $ 4 for a small bottle but worth it. Love the veggie fruit mix. Lots of fiber, vitamins. Almost like fresh made, and since i am lazy now stuck with the bottled version! ;o)

I love Naked Juice. This company makes a wide variety of tasty, fresh-​tasting juices with healthy ingredients. Plus, they’re pretty responsible about their packaging (easily recycled PET 1 plastic bottles, as 1s and 2s are the easiest plastics for which to find recycling facilities) and their ingredients (they use Rainforest Alliance-​certified bananas in their drinks, like the Green Machine blended fruit smoothie).
No matter where I shop for their juices, prices are considerably higher than those of other juices, but I like to think that I’m paying for quality and a wider variety of nutrients. That’s way better than some from-​concentrate crap from Brazil or something, right?
If you’ve never tried a Naked Juice drink, do it! The Green Machine looks especially scary, but I think it’s one of the best flavors. These make a great breakfast or snack in a pinch; they come highly recommended.
