…Starting as early as January, the company will start testing 7Up Ten, Sunkist Ten, A&W Ten and Canada Dry Ten in Columbus, Ohio, Des Moines, Iowa, and central Pennsylvania. It will also test RC Ten, a cola, in Chicago, Evansville, Ind., and Des Moines.

Thus, it appears that "Ten" is DPSG's response to Coke's "Zero" and Pepsi's "Max" franchises. Let's take a look at the first of these new Tens, Sunkist Ten.

In our Dr Pepper Ten review, we felt that it didn't taste better than what was already a quality reduced calorie drink, Diet Dr Pepper. Many BevReview readers disagreed with our perceptive, and let us know accordingly in the comments (thanks for your passion, everyone!) For this review, we sampled Sunkist Ten alongside Diet Sunkist to get a similar comparison.

As part of the Ten line extension, it's obvious that Sunkist Ten borrowed some heavy design cues from Dr Pepper Ten. First off is the use of the gunmetal grey color, which apparently is DPSG's version of Coke Zero's black color. This is combined with the orange style and logo typically associated with Sunkist. The addition of the "TEN" label is the same style at Dr Pepper Ten, though it feels more tacked on and less organically added when compared to the flagship. Instead of proclaiming "10 Bold Tasting Calories," Sunkist Ten simply offers "10 Great Tasting Calories." And for those questioning the math on Dr Pepper Ten's calorie count vs. the calories/ounce proclamations, we can thank the confusing calculations of the FDA's Rounding Rules, which oddly allow for drinks with less than 5 calories to report as "0 calories", while those with 50 calories or less need to round to the nearest 5 calorie increment — thus how the same drink can have zero calories in one size but non-zero calories in another. Confused yet?

Like Diet Sunkist, Sunkist Ten is sweetened with both aspartame and acesulfame potassium (Ace-K). Ten also has the addition of high fructose corn syrup (HFCS) to round out its sweetener profile, which DPSG argues adds the ability to better portray the original full-calorie flavor of these drinks. Crack open a can of Sunkist Ten and it smells like your typical orange soda. The bright orange color is also in line with what you've come to find with Sunkist.

As for the flavor, the initial sip is dead-on for Sunkist. It's sweet, syrupy, and bold. But with any diet drink, the details are really in the aftertaste. You can definitely tell that this is a non-full-calorie beverage. The aspartame and Ace-K are obvious. Orange is one of the easier drinks to mask artificial sweeteners in, and Sunkist Ten doesn't disappoint in this area. You can tell the sweeteners are there, but they aren't too distorting. The aftertaste lingers a bit and then disappears. This flavor experience is in contrast to Diet Sunkist, which tends to taste fake from the start. Whereas Sunkist Ten tastes like the original in the beginning of the taste experience and then transitions to artificial, Diet Sunkist feels artificial throughout. When it comes to most closely resembling the original, Sunkist Ten is the winner (of course, it also has more calories than Diet Sunkist, which features 0 per serving).

Sunkist Ten
Carbonated water, high fructose corn syrup, citric acid, sodium citrate, malic acid, sodium benzoate (preservative), aspartame, modified food starch, natural flavors, acesulfame potassium, caffeine, ester gum, Yellow 6, Red 40

A 12 oz can contains 10 calories, 130 mg sodium, and 2 g carbs (2 g sugars). Caffeine content is 3.42 mg/oz. (For comparison, Mountain Dew contains 4.5 mg/oz.)

For those interested in a comparison…

Diet Sunkist
Carbonated water, citric acid, sodium citrate, malic acid, sodium benzoate (preservative), aspartame, modified food starch, acesulfame potassium, natural flavors, caffeine, ester gum, Yellow 6, Red 40

A 12 oz can contains 0 calories, 128 mg sodium, and 0 g carbs (0 g sugars). Caffeine content is 3.38 mg/oz.

In the end, Sunkist Ten brings a more authentic Sunkist flavor compared to Diet Sunkist. If you are looking for a lower calorie orange soft drink, Ten is what you seek.

You'll note that the bottom of the bottle has more of a "grip" element in play, while the top features a narrow "label band" for the branding of the drink. Per the article, "the new Legacy bottle will be used for many of DPSG's flavor brands, including 7Up, Sunkist soda, Canada Dry, Sun Drop, Squirt and other soft drinks in the company's portfolio that do not have their own brand-specific bottle designs." You'll note that Dr Pepper is left off that list, as it has its own unique shape.

It's definitely a unique look that breaks from the feel you get with Coke's "Contour" bottle and whatever Pepsi uses. DPSG is obviously looking to stand out from the other Big 2 with this change.

However, I have to wonder about the branding issues on the "label band" now that it's so much smaller. For some brands with more horizontally-oriented logos, it works pretty well (such as we've illustrated with 7Up and Squirt).

On the bright side, it might make Squirt's ugly new design look a lot better!

Unfortunately, I've also seen this type of bottle used for RC Cola, which has a prominently vertical design, and logo is just shrunk to the point of being visually useless.

It's definitely going to be a packaging designer's challenge to make the Legacy bottle work!

What do you think of this new bottle type?

When you open the bottle, you are greeted with a sweet, cherry smell. You don't often find cherry in mainstream, commonly-found soft drinks, so this is a break from the everyday. Surprisingly, it doesn't come off as very fake or syrupy when you inhale.

This pop is, as expected, red in color, but translucent, so it easily lets light through. The package design reflects Sunkist's new logo (with the notable blue background behind the lettering), and is complimented by small icons of cherry and lime.

As for the taste, it's actually quite good! Nothing too sweet or heavy on the syrup (even though it is sweetened with high fructose corn syrup). The lime flavor takes off the edge a bit and provides a great counterbalance to the cherry. The blend together creates a very attractive taste for your palette. We like it quite a bit!

Ingredients:

Carbonated water, high fructose corn syrup, natural and artificial flavors, citric acid, sodium benzoate (preservative), Red 40, Yellow 5

A 20 oz. bottle contains 280 calories, 105 mg of sodium, and 76g of carbs (71 g sugars).

While you might not find it everywhere, if you do see Sunkist Cherry Limeade on the store shelf, pick up a bottle or two. Given the limited fruit flavor choices found in the marketplace today, it's a nice refreshing break.

While we've covered Solar Fusion pretty extensively here, I can't say that we've heard anything about Sunkist Citrus Fusion. Ed notes that he found the beverage outside of Minneapolis/St. Paul, MN. He snapped the above photo at a gas station.

By looking at the label design, you can see that it's very much in-line with the Sunkist Solar Fusion style, especially with the stylized "S" behind the name of the drink. The callout at the top of the drink notes that this is a "Citrus Lime Flavored Soda", which would explain the green color scheme. We see the mention of "B Vitamins" and "Caffeine" as well.

Interestingly, a PDF we found online featuring a "Label Information Note" dated 3/1/2010 had entries for both HFCS and sugar-sweetened versions, which leads us to believe plans for this drink range beyond the U.S. A quick search of the United States Patent and Trademark Office shows trademark filings on the name "Citrus Fusion" dating January 2007 by Snapple Beverage Corp (The Sunkist beverage brand is now owned by an entity that contains Snapple, Dr Pepper Snapple Group). A more recent January 2009 filing by Sunkist also claims the name. (Interestingly, Everfresh Beverages, Inc. has an abandoned trademark filing for a "non-alcoholic fruit-based juice drink" dating from August 1995.)

Ingredients:

Sunkist Citrus Fusion
Carbonated water, high fructose corn syrup, citric acid, sodium benzoate (preservative), caffeine, natural flavors, ascorbic acid and calcium disodium EDTA (to protect flavor), niacinamide (Vitamin B3), calcium pantothenate (Vitamin B5), Yellow 5, pyridoxine hydrochloride (Vitamin B6), Blue 1, cyanocobalamin (Vitamin B12)

The ingredient list is very similar to Solar Fusion, with a 20 oz. plastic bottle containing 300 calories, 115 mg of sodium, and 81 g of carbs (of which, 78g are sugars). The same percentage of nutrients were also found in Sunkist Citrus Fusion, with just 25% of your recommended daily value each of Niacin, Vitamin B6, B12, and Pantothenic Acid.

Just like Sunkist Solar Fusion, Sunkist Citrus Fusion contains 4.1 mg/oz of caffeine department. In comparison, Pepsi contains 3.2 mg/oz while Coke has 2.9 mg/oz. In the fruit/citrus pop category where Citrus Fusion probably will be compared, Mountain Dew has 4.5 mg/oz., Mello Yello has 4.3 mg/oz., and standard orange Sunkist contains 3.4 mg/oz.

Ed he noted that the drink reminded him of "liquid green Skittles candy." It was very drinkable, more on the sweet side vs. sour. He liked the fact that it was a lime drink, which brought memories of Mountain Dew Distortion to mind. He actually thought it compared favorably to that limited-edition DEWmocracy drink. There was a strong lime flavor present, but it wasn't authentic, probably more syrupy in nature.

Overall, it appears that Sunkist Citrus Fusion is part of a new franchise of "Fusion" drinks from Sunkist, kicked off first by Sunkist Solar Fusion. While that original version was mandarin orange-infused, this entry seems to be aimed at the lime-lovin' crowd. Are these drinks being targeted at the likes of Mountain Dew? Well, you'll have to find them yourself and decide!

Update 9/15/10: Ed writes via the comments: "Since this review I had a better chance to try Sunkist Citrus Fusion and Mtn Dew Distortion side by side and pay better attention to the taste comparison. Distortion is more sour and tastes much more like a real lime; I liked it a lot better. Sunkist is definitely more on the sweet end, for people who look more for that. I am still seeing Citrus Fusion at a few places around here (St. Paul/Mpls suburbs)."

The folks at DPSG noted that Solar Fusion is "a powerfully delicious blend of tropical and citrus flavors, combining the great taste of Sunkist with Caffeine and Vitamin B for energy." In fact, this drink contains Vitamins B3, B5, B6, and B12. Sunkist already has the distinction of being one of the few orange sodas that contain caffeine, so this version with more "pep" is a logical extension, though it does seem like the same approach that we saw with 2008's Squirt Citrus Power… shortlived and also from Dr Pepper Snapple Group (well, Cadbury Schweppes at the time… same company, new name).

The label design uses the recently-refreshed Sunkist logo (which is actually quite good) complimented by black highlights and a red/blue "flame device" behind the logo — apparently depicting a solar flare of some sort. The drink describes itself as "tropical mandarin flavored soda" and notes that it contains caffeine and B vitamins. The package design is attractive and compliments the red/orange-colored beverage well.

Open the cap and you do smell mandarin oranges… or at least something in that same tangerine family. There's a sharpness to your initial sip which contrasts against the perceived taste of what an orange soft drink should be. It's somewhat bitter, but welcomed, to be honest. As the taste lingers, that aggressive flavor fades away and produces a somewhat weak-tasting traditional orange that sits on your tongue. The aftertaste is awash in a syrupy, high fructose corn syrup-ladden mess that is expected with this type of carbonated beverage.

So, to summarize… starts intriguingly, middle is so-so, end is "seriously, this flavor again?" With a small tweaking of the formula (and maybe the inclusion of sugar vs. HFCS), this could be a standout flavor, in our opinion. The use of B Vitamins has questionable value that probably can only be determined by personal experience. We're not sold on this idea of making a carbonated soft drink seem healthier by infusing it with nutrients.

What's inside? We're glad you asked:

Sunkist Solar Fusion
Carbonated water, high fructose corn syrup, citric acid, sodium benzoate (preservative), caffeine, natural flavors, Yellow 6, ascorbic acid and calcium disodium EDTA (to protect flavor), niacinamide (Vitamin B3), calcium pantothenate (Vitamin B5), Red 40, pyridoxine hydrochloride (Vitamin B6), Blue 1, cyanocobalamin (Vitamin B12)

A 20 oz. plastic bottle contains 300 calories, 120 mg of sodium, and 81 g of carbs (of which, 78g are sugars). On the nutrients front, Solar Fusion possesses just 25% of your recommended daily value each of Niacin, Vitamin B6, B12, and Pantothenic Acid… so don't go ditching your colorful Flintstones vitamins just yet.

In the caffeine department, Sunkist Solar Fusion contains 4.1 mg/oz. In comparison, Pepsi contains 3.2 mg/oz while Coke has 2.9 mg/oz. In the fruit/citrus pop category where Solar Fusion probably will be compared, Mountain Dew has 4.5 mg/oz., Mello Yello has 4.3 mg/oz., and standard orange Sunkist contains 3.4 mg/oz. So even though the caffeine element is hyped, it's not beyond the threshold of other soft drinks and is definitely not at energy drink levels.

To be honest, we liked the taste of Sunkist Solar Fusion. It's twisted orange/pineapple/mandarin flavor actually is pretty good. The packaging design is very attractive, which should help with impulse buys at convenience stores. Inclusion of caffeine continues a differentiator of the Sunkist brand in the "orange soda" space. The biggest drawback is probably how the bite from the flavor disappears quickly and leaves you with a very syrupy aftertaste.

In early February Beverage Digest's John Sicher tweeted that Dr Pepper Snapple Group was rolling out a new beverage called Sunkist Solar Fusion.

According to comments the company made at the CAGNY Conference on February 17…

Sunkist has always stood as a flavorful energy. Building on this base will launch Sunkist's Solar Fusion — a powerfully delicious blend of tropical and citrus flavors, combining the great taste of Sunkist with Caffeine and Vitamin B for energy. Priced in line with CSDs, this is a great example of how we're bringing value to the consumer.

Sunkist Growers, Inc. filed for a trademark on the name back in August 2009 under the "light beverage products" category, with the mark being published for opposition in January 2010. No other description is associated with the filing.

The packaging notes that this is a "tropical mandarin flavored soda."

Availability is rumored to be April 2010. We'll see!

Previously here at BevReview, we have looked at a couple varieties of Sunkist Naturals: Strawberry Dream, Glorious Greens, and Golden Mango. In this review we look at Sunkist Naturals Lemonade.

As previously with the Golden Mango flavor, Lemonade comes in a 15.2 oz bottle with a similar aesthetic design. Cross sections of lemons are the featured artwork. The only critique I would have is that the yellow is a bit light on the white background, but it is a solid design.

Nutritionally there is not a lot to say, but the label does state that it is a "good source of vitamin C." This is a bit overblown in my mind, as it contains 10% of your daily vitamin C in every serving. Not that this is unusual, as many companies do this sort of marketing. In addition, there are 120 calories per serving and 31 grams of sugars. The nutritional information is based on 8 ounces, so you can extrapolate that out a bit. It is a bit of a pet peeve of mine that servings are divided like this, because I'm guessing the average person who drinks this will not drink half the bottle and save the rest for the next "serving."

Anyway, the ingredient list is as follows:

Sunkist Naturals Lemonade
Water, cane sugar, lemon juice, lemon essence oil

Very basic and straightforward, I like that. It also contains 10% fruit juice for those keeping track. Being that this is a lemonade and not a "juice" drink, I wouldn't worry about that.

Let's move on to the beverage itself. Opening the bottle I smell a nice, chilled "state fair lemonade" shaker-type aroma. Remember when you were a kid and you went to the state fair and they made lemonade by mixing a bunch of lemons, ice, and sugar in a cup and shaking them all together? That is the smell of this drink at first exposure. As I pour it into the cup, I see a semi-clear liquid with lemon bits floating around. Looks very much like lemonade, so no surprise here. Taking a sip, the drink has a nice sweet quality with more lemon in the aftertaste, but not really that sour at all. It does taste similar to a lemon shaker at the fair, but maybe not quite that fresh. The lemonade is clean and not very pulpy, which some will like and others not. It also clears the tongue fairly quickly, and I can see this making a great compliment to a hamburger or any kind of sandwich.

Overall this is a very good lemonade. I would definitely drink it again. Is it better than other fresh lemonades? I don't know that I can say that it is that it is head-and-shoulders better than other fresh lemonades I've tasted, but it is clearly better than mixes or more chemically based ones. I can recommend it, but I will leave it up to the buyer whether the price warrants buying it versus other lemonades on the market.

Here at BevReview, we have previously looked at a couple varieties of Sunkist Naturals smoothies: Strawberry Dream and Glorious Greens. Today we take a look at Sunkist Naturals Golden Mango (alphonso mango smoothie).

This drink comes in a 15.2 ounce bottle with a nice aesthetic appeal. As far as the name of the fruit, the golden mango is apparently named after the Portuguese King Alphonso, and is a trademarked name. The label tells us that the drink is: 100% juice, has no sugar added, is high in antioxidants, high in vitamin A, high in vitamin C, has 50 mg of omega-3s, and is a good source of fiber. They also note there are no GMO's for those that are looking out for that sort of thing.

Personally, when I looked at the nutrition facts, the high fiber content is what struck me first. Each serving has 3 grams of fiber, and there are 2 servings per bottle. The 6 total grams of fiber per bottle is more than one serving of many fiber cereals. Also notable is the 320 mg of potassium compared with 15 mg of sodium per serving.

The list of ingredients (without going into the full detail) includes apple juice, banana puree, mango puree, orange juice, passion fruit juice, carrot and pumpkin extracts, and Vitamin C. Apple juice is the main ingredient, which is often to be expected in juice blends, but I find the addition of carrot and pumpkin extracts especially interesting.

Moving to the sensory qualities of the smoothie, the drink has a nice golden orange color, actually looking like the old orange juice concentrate that comes in a can. It is also fairly thick compared to other smoothies I have reviewed. In all honesty it is not overly dense, but has some body to it. The scent is definitely a mix of fruits, with banana, mango, and orange seemingly present, especially the mango and banana.

As far as taste goes, the banana puree is what strikes me first, but there is also kind of a nice "sweetness" to the aftertaste. It is a fairly fresh taste. Per the body of the drink, I can almost taste the fiber, and that is what gives it some thickness and makes this more a smoothie than a juice. The drink has a coating quality also, building into this smoothie category, and I mean that in a positive way. It is a clean, but flavorful taste, avoiding the acidity that some drinks offer. The more I drink of it, the more I like it.

All in all, this is a good drink, and I would recommend it to those who like juice smoothies. I would also say it is comparable to some of the drinks made by Odwalla and Naked Juice. The freshness, nutrition, and taste combine to make this a strong entry in the smoothie market.

Featuring strawberries, bananas, passion fruit, apples, and a "splash of Sunkist orange juice", this drink is advertised as having a high amount of Vitamin C and potassium. The 15.2 oz. bottle is rounded and attractive, with a red-colored cap and scheme proclaiming the primary hue of this flavor.

Upon opening the bottle, you are greeted with a typical smoothie scent, heavy on the banana smell. The color of the drink is a milky, cloudy pinkish-red. It's not as thick on texture as a smoothie you'd order fresh. That's not a bad thing, per se, just something to note if you are looking for an "authentic smoothie experience."

As for the flavor, there's definitely a strawberry presence — thankfully without those annoying seeds. But to be honest, the berry flavor is pretty weak when compared to the overwhelming banana taste. The percentage of flavor distribution here seems a bit out of whack, too much in favor of a dancing Chiquita lady and not enough love to cute little Strawberry Shortcake and friends. With the branding being heavy on the red color, as well as a name like "Strawberry Dream", one would expect more actual strawberry flavor.

This is not to say that the drink is bad; it's not. It just doesn't meet the perceptions I formed while looking at the bottle. As a consumer, that's sort of an important thing. Case in point… how many people expect Pepsi Natural to taste a lot like Pepsi? It's a completely different flavor. Not a bad flavor, but given that it has Pepsi in the name, your perceptions are formed in advance.

Here's what's inside:

Sunkist Naturals Strawberry Dreams
Apple juice (water, apple juice concentrate), banana puree (banana, citric acid and ascorbic acid), strawberry puree, orange juice (water, orange juice concentrate), natural flavor, pectin, blackcurrant and carrot extracts, Vitamin C (ascorbic acid)

Each 15.2 oz. bottle is technically 2 servings, but seriously, who just drinks half a bottle? Thus, if you do the Nutrition Facts math for the whole bottle, you are looking at 260 calories, 20 mg of sodium, 680 mg of potassium, 64 g of carbs — including 6 g of dietary fiber and 52 g of sugars, and 2 g of protein.

You'll also get 200% of your daily values for Vitamin C, along with Vitamin A (2%), Calcium (2%), and Iron (2%).

This is a perishable drink, thus it must be kept refrigerated… and why there's no preservatives. It also has no GMO (genetically modified organisms). The fine print on the back of the bottle also notes that it's "flash pasteurized and cold filled for quality."

Sunkist Naturals Strawberry Dream is a quality smoothie product made from fine ingredients. Unfortunately, it probably should be renamed "Banana Dream With A Hint Of Strawberry" due to the weak berry flavor. Visually appealing and still tasty, the branding on this product influenced my perceptions in a way that created an unmet expectation on flavor.

With 10 flavors to choose from, there's bound to be a fruit smoothie combination that you like. I'm a big fan of apples, so the Glorious Greens flavor caught my eye. This flavor is described as containing green apple, kiwi, bananas, mango, pineapple, and lemon juice, along with 14 superfruits including wheat grass, flax seed, spirulina, and green tea.

I'm impressed with the package design on the Sunkist Naturals products, which each feature an attractive rounded 15.2 oz. bottle, a bit more curved than what we saw with the Zola Immunity Smoothie. The caps are color-coded to match the flavor, which also ties into the visual imagery on the lower half of the bottle. Below the prominent "Sunkist" name and smaller "Naturals" brand, is the flavor description, along with a small explaination. This is superimposed on attractive photographic art showing the fruits included in this drink. In the case of Sunkist Naturals Glorious Greens, apples and kiwis can be easily seen with a greenish-hue.

The back of the bottle not only contains Nutrition Facts, but also a short story about the flavor (in this case, it was "Enjoy Your Greens!") that further describes the process of making this particular smoothie flavor. They don't shy away from all the stuff that's included in this drink. For example, this description of Glorious Greens was pulled from the official website:

Each sip contains vitamin filled green vegetables including broccoli, cabbage and kale; along with antioxidant rich green tea and phytonutrient rich echinacea, dulse and spirulina. Plus, heart-healthy omega-3 rich flax seeds and blue-green algae. The smoothie is a good source of vitamins B-complex, C, K and also contains dietary fiber.

In college, I worked in food service management and used kale quite often as a display garnish. And I can't say that I even know what "phytonutrient rich echinacea" is, but apparently, I drank it!

And speaking of drinking, I bet you are wondering what this beverage tastes like! Upon opening the bottle, you are met with, well, somewhat of a scary green drink. It's darkish green, something looking like blended spinach. Add to that the sweet — yet uniquely odd — scent of vegetables. If you aren't familiar with drinking smoothies (include me in that group), then you have to ask yourself, "seriously, you are going to drink this?" I was wondering if starting with the green-colored drink was a good idea or not!

Thankfully, that choice was redeemed when I actually took my first sip. I was really surprised by the flavor! (Apparently, the color green set my bar low, but still, it tasted good!) The flavor was sweet and provided a very clean aftertaste. The prominent tastes came from kiwi and banana, I felt, though there was a nice touch of that bitterness you find with green apples. The scent and flavor experience together also brought out the hint of pineapple influence, in sort of a tropical, citrusy way. Frankly, when I got beyond the look and the scent, I had a pleasant drinking experience.

Here's what's inside:

Sunkist Naturals Glorious Greens
Apple juice (water, apple juice concentrate), apple juice puree, banana puree (banana, citric and ascorbic acid), mango puree, pineapple juice (water, pineapple juice concentrate), kiwi puree, nutrient blend (spirulina, chlorella, green tea extract, spinach, broccoli, wheat grass, barley grass, oat grass, green cabbage, dulse, kale, echinacea, flax seed, citrus bioflavonoids), lemon juice concentrate, natural flavor

Each 15.2 oz. bottle is technically 2 servings, but seriously, who just drinks half a bottle? Thus, if you do the Nutrition Facts math for the whole bottle, you are looking at 280 calories, 50 mg of sodium, 520 mg of potassium, 68 g of carbs — including 6 g of dietary fiber and 56 g of sugars, and 4 g of protein.

Unlike most of the carbonated soft drinks you'll find us exploring here on BevReview.com, this is a drink that really shines in the nutrients area. For example, it contains 80% of your daily values for Vitamin A and 60% for Vitamin C. Round that out with Calcium (2%), Iron (4%), Vitamin K (15%), Thiamin (4%), Riboflavin (2%), Vitamin B6 (15%), Vitamin B12 (20%), Iodine (40%), Magnesium (6%), Zine (4%), and Manganese (20%). The bottle proclaims that is contains 100% juice, nothing artificial, no preservatives (thus why you have to keep this stuff refrigerated), and no GMO (that's genetically modified organisms — yeah, I had to look it up!)

And for you Pepsi Throwback lovers out there… there's no high fructose corn syrup either (ha ha!)

Despite the odd green color found in Sunkist Naturals Glorious Greens, I was pleasantly surprised by the taste. With a balance of apple, kiwi, and other smoothie-ish flavors, this drink hit the spot. Hats off to the solid packaging design as well, which drew in a non-smoothie drinker like myself with its nice visuals and familiar brand name.
