Bolthouse Farms – Green Goodness Review
No clever message this time.
Before I begin this post, I will direct you to by previous diatribe on corporate responsibility, directed mainly at Bolthouse Farms‘ connection with William Bolthouse and his foundation, which funds fundamentalist and homophobic causes. After a year of debating whether or not I should review a product from a company with dubious connections to its former owner, I decided to do one along with my rant, after which I will mention it not again.
This is one of Bolthouse Farms fruit smoothie flavors, packaged in a sleek, colorful bottle, which is slightly less busy than Naked’s packaging. The drink itself looks like a dark green slurry, not quite appetizing, but I have come across worse. The scent is rather reminiscent of the kiwis and apples pictured on the bottle, with a hint of banana.
The taste is immediately sweet and tart, then leaves you with a sour-apple tang on the back of your tongue. I can pick out the mango and pineapple, too. This goes down quite smooth, think but not chunky or gritty like a lot of smoothies out there. There is a veritable laundry list on the side of the stuff inside the bottle, which looks quite healthy. The sugar is a little high at 54 g per 16 oz bottle, but its all natural sugars, and there’s a load of potassium to boot.
If you like the tart flavor of green apples and don’t mind chugging a thick, green smoothie, you may like this. Overall, it appears quite healthy, and would be a welcome substitute for one of these juice-hut’s calorie-laden smoothies.
Score: 4 out of 5. Tart and a little sweet, good, but didn’t quite fulfill my expectations.
