Naked Juice: It's Not So Naked

Have you guys tried Naked Juice? You'd think with a name like that, this drink would be made with just fruit juice. Even with the fine print at the bottom of the label that reads "with added ingredients" I was still more focused on the word naked, thinking this smoothie would be unadulterated. The Orange Mango Motion flavor contains a lot of added B vitamins, to give you an extra boost, but that is not all this drink contains that will charge you up.

The motion in this smoothie comes from "guarana extract" and "green tea extract." While these are natural forms of caffeine, they're still caffeine and if you drink all 15.2 fluid ounces of this juice, you'll get 86 mg of the stuff. Just for comparison, a regular cup of joe (not the suped up coffee from Starbucks) contains about 45 mg of caffeine. So this drink packs quite a punch. When they say "energy," they mean it. I just wish it were energy from the juice, not energy from caffeine.

Want to see the nutritional info? Then read more

Check out how on the label it tells you exactly how much of your daily supply of vitamins you are getting. Cool, huh? This juice would make a great alternative to your morning cup of coffee —it's like drinking your coffee and OJ all at once. I'd probably try and stick to the recommended serving size though, otherwise you'll be bouncing off the walls if you're not used to drinking this much caffeine.

    I try to grab these wherever I can find them--a great way to get servings of fruits and veggies! Plus, they taste so good:)

    Ive only had them a couple of times. I had the all apple one. It was a little much but good. But a 1lb pound of fruit in one bottle is a little much for a body

    I love the Naked drinks... Red Machine is my favorite. Keep an eye open at Starbucks next month... they're switching from Odwalla to Naked.

    thanks for the caffeine research!

    I used to buy Naked products until they were bought out by Pepsi, but then again Odwalla is owned by Coke. That's probably why they aren't as natural anymore. So sad. Sad

    I love these! I'm not a big fruit and veggie person, so every little bit helps. Plus, as a busy nurse, I don't always get to sit down for a meal, so I can keep these handy and sip on them throughout the night.

    I tried this one and it was really sweet adn heavy! I prefer the "machines" to this one. You could literally put in equal parts of water to get it to a juice-like consistency. Otherwise, I loooove 'em!

    Naked Juice is yummy...I prefer the Red Machine one though, it "get's your love machine going" xD The blueberry one is tasty too.

    I buy the energy orange mango one for my boyfriend all the time. He loves energy drinks, and I figure this is a little healthier than a Red Bull...small steps, right?

    I used to have this sometimes and it just didn't settle well in my stomach. It felt like it was stuck in my chest and throat for hours...gross.

    I appalled that a "natural" juice company would sell their product in NON-RECYCLABLE BOTTTLES. That's right. Just look at the symbol on the bottom of their bottles and you'll see a recycle symbol 7. 7 is non-recyclable.

    In today's environmentally conscious world, this is UNACCEPTABLE.
