Raaw Juice Review

Responsive imageOkay so I'm trying a new review tactic in an effort to broaden my library of reviews. And today's product is Raaw juices. *smiles*

I have recently tried three different juices from the company Raaw. The obvious first place winner was Strawberry Purple Carrot. Made with the juice of eight strawberries, three and a quarter purple carrot, apple juice and a few other ingredients, Strawberry Carrot tastes sweet, flavorful and refreshing. With only twenty-four grams of sugar, you'd think it would have a higher sugar content just from the taste, Thankfully, it doesn't. I let my seventeen month old try some and she loved it. The colors of the juice and bottle are very attractive too, which helps.

The second place juice is Very Berry Wheatgrass. I love berries {except for blueberries by themselves; they remind me of a horrible yogurt experience when i was pregnant but in other things, they're great!} and have recently wanted to try more healthy drinks and such, so the wheatgrass caught my eye. The only problem I had with the juice was that in addition to the juice of two cups of mixed berries and one and a half ounces of wheatgrass was apple and pineapple juice. Normally that's fine, but the pineapple juice tasted very strong to me and I didn't think it blended very well at all. Take the pineapple juice away and you'd have a really great drink. There are twenty-grams of sugar in it but it doesn't taste as sweet as the Strawberry Carrot. The baby was unimpressed.

Sadly, it tasted a lot like dirt to me. My sister disagreed so it really could've just been me, but it didn't taste very good. Made with a whole cucumber and three-quarters of a pineapple, this juice has twenty-eight grams of sugar in it. When I let the baby try some, she made a face and spit it back out.

The Raaw juice I've decided I want to try next is Raspberry Lemongrass. It's made from two and a half cups of raspberries, and one and a half ounces of lemongrass, among other juices that the website won't give me. *smiles* There are twenty-seven grams of sugar in it. I generally really enjoy raspberries {if you've seen my Pinterest feed lately, you'll notice a trend in pinned recipes that feature luscious raspberries}, and I had lemongrass when I was a kid. It wasn't nearly as lemony as actual lemons yet was still delicious.

While these opinions on these delicious juices are my own, feel free to check out the company's website for more information and try some of the juices yourself. There are nine yummy looking flavors in all. :)
