Stockholm Organic Sea Buckthorn juice

I have always wanted to try sea buckthorn juice as I haven't tried it before.

When I finally got it, I was surprised that there was oil floating on the top which is normal.

It was just fascinating how a berry (plant) can have oil.

Anyway, the juice was quite thick and strong, it tasted like concentrated orange juice but had a sharper tone without the citrus element and it was slightly bitter.

As for the oil, it explains why you get skincare made with sea buckthorn because of the oil.

Overall, I am glad I tried this drink.

Kuang Chuan asparagus juice 光泉蘆筍汁

The taste of this asparagus juice was rather disappointing because it just tasted like cane sugar juice.
On the packaging, it states that a low percentage of the drink is made up of asparagus juice so what is the made of??

Biotta functional juices

Just discovered that Biotta have a range of juices at CitySuper, they are a colourful array of juices.

Each one helps to enhance a function in the body.

Wild bilberry helps to protect and function the blood vessels.
Breuss vegetable helps to purify the body.
Cranberry helps maintain bladder health.
VITA 7 is a great source of nutrients.
Elderberry is a good remedy for respiratory and immune system.
Mango Mix is a rich source of vitamins.
DIGEST improves appetite and digestion.
Pomegranate is rich in antioxidants.
Beetroot helps support blood function.
Artichokes and Tomato is a great formula for the liver and gall bladder.
BALANCE helps digestion in the small intestine.POWERBERRY is a powerful energy booster.

I chose the drinks according to the ingredients I liked and I ended with the Artichokes and the Beetroot.

The beetroot was really wholesome and it tasted sweet, while the artichoke was my favourite because it had a heavy tomato taste.

Next time I am going to buy the BALANCE because it contains yellow carrot, potato juice, sauerkraut juice, fennel juice, pineapple juice, ginger and turmeric!!

KAGOME Grape mixed juice

Intially I was attracted to this drink because it had lots of vegetables on the illustration and I thought it was purple vegetable juice.
After I bought it, I realised the main ingredient was Kyoho grape.

I have never liked artificial kyoho grape flavouring because it smells and tastes like plastic, and this drinks tastes just like that with some savoury tomato taste.

Now that I know they have just vegetable juices, I will try that next time.

Chou Chin Bomy Asparagus Juice

Thought this drink was interesting so tried it.

It tasted different from what I expected because natrual asparagus is woody and creamy, but the contents of this drink was clear liquid.

Anyway, there was a faint taste of asparagus but there was some lemon taste as well which was a weird ingredient to put in, but probably to extend its shelf life.

They have other drinks in the range but their website that was working the other day is not working now!!

I havent tried fig juice before, so tried the fig juice by elite naturel, a Turkish product.

It was very thick and sweet.
After diluting, it tasted better.
There was real fig seeds in the drink!

V9 Malee vegetable and fruit juice

Saw these fruit juices that were made from vegetables so decided to get them.

There were four flavours:
Purple carrot juice with vegetable and fruit
Beetroot juice with vegetable and fruit
Kiwi juice with vegetable and fruit
Carrot juice with vegetable and fruit.

I did not like carrot so I got the beetroot and the kiwi.

Both of them tasted too syrupy and sweet however the Kiwi juice with vegetables and fruit tasted like white grapes, whereas the beetroot one tasted slightly better but no beetroot taste, however it tasted more like strawberry juice.

It reminds me of V8, but V8 tastes better and natural.
It was impressive because this product is from Thailand and they have English on their website.

POM wonderful pomegranite juice

Got this drink because of the attractive bottle and also because I like Pomegranite juice.
I liked it because other brands of pomegranite juice contains other fruits to make up the drink and this one does not.
The colour of this drink was dark beetroot and when it was held up to the light you couldnt see through it.
The juice was very concentrated but needed no dilution.
I have had pure pomegranite juice before, and this one just tastes like a concentrate and its also very sour as well.
+++++++++++++++++++++++++++++
Apart from juices, POM wonderful has other products too that "CLAIM" to be healthy.
This is not a product I would buy, but I like the packaging.

+++++++++++++++++++++++++++++
Freshly squeezed pomegranite juice I got from a fruit store, you could also taste the pomegranite membranes too!~

Grapefruit juice imported from Thailand

Just tastes like ordinary sweetened grapefruit juice wtih grapefruit pulp.

It dosnt have the citrus taste of the European grapefruit.

I liked it because of the packaging, very Western with all the nutritional values labelled and most importantly, it has English!

Pearl Royal's coconut water

As well as Rubicon. another brand of coconut water.
However the packaging of this one is much nicer.

Plastic case that looks like a young coconut with the printed plastic that imitates the young coconut,
the case holds a carton of the juice inside.

To drink you can simply take out the carton, or place the straw in the hole as if you were drinking a young coconut.

Chooze Beetroot juice

Quite nice, not too syrupy, but lacks beetroot taste, although the colour is rich plum.

O.N.E. Coffee Fruit Drink

Another interesting one, composed of coffee beans and strawberries, I wonder what it tastes like!

O.N.E.™ Coffee Fruit Drink combines the juice of the whole coffee fruit with acerola (Amazon Cherry) and strawberry purees, a high amount of Vitamin C.
Nice carton of coconut water, which I am sure tastes just as good as any other brand

Interesting!! They have water as well.

O.N.E. Cashew fruit juice

The O.N.E. has come up with some really interesting drinks.

I tried the Cashew fruit, which had an exotic fruit taste with some nutty sediments in it.
Apart from that the packaging was great!

Quoted from the website: http://www.onenaturalexperience.com
The Cashew Fruit has two parts – the Fruit and the Nut.
We are all familiar with the Cashew Nut. However, what is not really known is that the nut actually grows from the bottom of the “Cashew Apple.” The Cashew Apple is an oval or pear-shaped fruit that develops from the receptacle of the cashew flower. Called the Cashew Apple, it ripens into a yellow and/or red fruit about 5–11 cm long.
