Naked Green Machine All Natural Superfood 100% Juice Smoothie - Product Review

I was hungry, but the breakfast shift was over and lunch not yet begun. Though the cafeteria was open, pickings were slim as the cafeteria staff was setting up for the lunch shift.

I wanted something filling, but not heavy. Something that would leave me feeling moderately full but not bloated. Something sort of, in between yogurt and cereal.

Then I spotted the juice smoothies in the cold drinks area. I normally passed these up because of the high price tag, but in this case where I'd be using it as a meal, the $3 plus change price tag was not too bad.

There were several varieties to choose from, but what got my attention was the strange pea green color of one of the juices. It definitely was not a typical, nor an appealing color for a drink product.

I picked up a bottle of the Naked Green Machine Juice Smoothie and began to read over the label. 'A pound of fruit in every bottle.' All Natural SUPERFOOD, 100% Juice Smoothie, a blend of 5 juices with other natural flavors and ingredients, NO SUGAR ADDED.' Sounded like a great product!
The 15.2 oz bottle contained 2 servings at 140 calories each.

I looked at the picture on the label of Naked Green Machine All Natural SUPERFOOD 100% Juice Smoothie and saw that it showed kiwi, pineapple, green apple, and broccoli! I was glad to see that it had a vegetable in it, but to be sure, I checked the label. It said that 'the fruit inside included 2-3/4 Apples, ½ Banana, 1/3 Kiwi fruit, 1/3 Mango, and a hint of pineapple.' It also said that 'the boost inside was Spirulina, Chlorella, Broccoli, Spinach, Blue Green Algae, Garlic, Barley Grass, Wheat Grass, Ginger, and Parsley. What a great product! I proceeded to the checkout line with my bottle of Naked Green Machine.

I was looking over the label of my Naked Green Machine Juice Smoothie once more while I waited in line, and I guess I must have looked doubtful because the woman behind me remarked that that one was really good. I said, oh really, you've had it?

She repeated that she had and that it was very good. I smiled and couldn't help saying, that 'For $3.00 is should be!'

I got back to my office and sat down at my desk with my bottle of Naked Green Machine 100% Juice Smoothie. I unscrewed the cap and took a whiff of the thick green liquid. I was immediately hit with a wonderful fruity sweet aroma. The smell of banana, mango, and pineapple stood out to me. Okay, so it didn't look too appealing but it definitely smelled wonderful! My first cautious sip, indeed verified that the Naked Green Machine Juice Smoothie tasted as wonderful as it smelled! I drank half of the Naked Green Machine, savoring each delicious sip. It was just enough to keep me full until lunchtime. I refrigerated the rest for later. I'd probably need it around 2pm when the after lunch munchies usually kick in for me.

Since my first experience with Naked's Green Machine All Natural SUPERFOOD 100% Juice Smoothie with No sugar added, I've reached for it several more times as a healthy choice for staving off the mid morning hungries. It's a delicious, tasty snack that I can feel good about consuming, and the pea green coloring is no obstacle now that I know how great the fruit smoothie taste.

NOTE: Naked Green Machine contains wheat ingredients. People allergic to wheat should be cautious about consuming this product. Naked Green Machine is perishable and should be kept refrigerated, shake well before using, as the juices will naturally separate.
