Naked Well Being Juice Smoothie in Berry Blast

I've been changing my eating habits by eating more fruits and vegetables. I actually wanted to start making my own juices, but I have yet to buy a juicer.. So, in the meantime, I figured drinking juices by the Naked brand would be the next best thing. I've been buying their juices a lot lately. One of the kinds I recently tried was the Well Being Juice Smoothie in Berry Blast.

Taste of
Naked Well Being Juice Smoothie in Berry Blast

I really should've known that this wasn't going to taste like a Berry Blast, with the measly 13 berries that were added to this juice. Yet I still hoped that I would like it. But after one sip of this juice I was a bit disappointed.

Naked's Berry Blast didn't taste awful, but it didn't knock my socks off either. It tasted quite bland for $3.59, and it mostly tasted like apple juice. Yet it also had a powdery and thick smoothie-like texture because of the banana puree.

Finally it had a hint, and only a hint, of extra sweetness to it because of the berries. But the berry flavor wasn't strong enough to overpower the apple taste, so it reminded me of some sort of apple-banana flavored baby food drink. It really was just blah.

In the End...

This juice was just ok, but a blast it was not. The title Berry Blast led me to believe that it would have a strong berry flavor, but apple juice was the main ingredient. I think the Naked Juice Company should have included more berries or they should just rename this juice Apple Blast or something. I really didn't like it so I probably wouldn't buy this flavor again. I give it 3 out of 5 stars.
