Review of 'Arthur's Fresh Company' Very Berry Smoothie

Arthur's Fresh Company -- Very Berry Smoothie (vegan)
Overall Rating: 4/5
Summary: mmm, super fresh (not from concentrate), very sweet and flavourful. No sugar means no sugaryness (which is very important to me). This smoothie is creamy and nice and thick, which makes it very filling. It has a little tartness, despite how sweet it is.

Where to buy: Freshco; many grocery stores across Canada




Ingredients: Fresh apple juice, Strawberry purée, Blackberry purée, Raspberry purée, Boysenberry purée, Banana purée, Lemon juice

Sure, this is high in calories, however, I love that the nutritional profile is so extensive. There's vitamin E, riboflavin, niacin, vitamin B6, folate, pantothenate, phosphorus, magnesium, zinc, and manganese.

Be not afraid of the high sugar content because there are no added sugars -- it's all natural fruit-derived sugars.

I really enjoyed this flavour, but because there are so many fruits involved, it's kinda difficult to isolate specific flavours. I like to actually taste the individual fruits. I'm eager to try the other flavours (like Strawberry Banana or Mango) because I think it'll be easier to spot these strong and unique flavours.
