Naked Juice

This is a good juice, but why naked? It really be helpful if your in a hurry...good juice!

While we have no complaints about the juice Naked Juice sells, we do have complaints about the misrepresentation of the plastic bottle's ability to be recycled.  Plastic resins cannot be mixed if they are to be recycled.  Even a small amount of the wrong kind of plastic can ruin the melt for recycling.  So the Society of Plastic Industry initiated the resin coding system in 1988.  However, Naked Juice made the corporate decision to use two recycling symbols on their bottles, both #2 HDPE and #7 Other.  #7 plastic is non-recyclable in all municipal recycle programs.  I wrote the company on two occasions asking them to come clean on what the bottle was.  Their claim is that most of the bottle is #2 but it does have nylon mixed in the plastic which is #7 other.  They claim that it could be recycled in recycling programs.  We recycle plastic with St. Paul's recycling program and when they were asked about recycling the bottles, they were not interested. Other natural juice companies do not use #7 plastic for bottling.  To mislead the public by using two plastic codes, Pepsi, the only company that we are aware of who does so, is greenwashing.  It may be good for your body, but it's not good for the environment where your body lives. 

I've got fruit cravings during my pregnancy, and fruit juice is just as good as fresh fruit to handle my cravings.  I love love love fruit juice, so this really hit the spot.

I used to drink loads of these last year while at school. They are supposed to be made from fresh fruit and need to be refrigerated. I tried most flavors but most were too sweet for me. Especially the ones that had fruit concentrates like pomegranate. The one I really liked and went back to was the green superfood. It is made of vegetables mostly. I found that the protein one actually filled me up quite a bit. The energy ones have guarana, which made me a bit jittery so I stopped drinking those. Overall it's not a bad product, I would like to see an organic version of it though. The price is more reasonable than other comparable juices so they are a good value. I also like that they list how much fruit is in every bottle and all the nutrients. Each bottle is actually 2 servings, so if you are worried about sugar intake keep that in mind. They state that the sugar is only from fruit, but still...
