Review of 'Oasis' FruitZoo (Peach Clementine)

Oasis -- FruitZoo (Peach Clementine) (vegan)
Overall Rating: 2.5/5
Summary: I was pretty disappointed with this flavour. When I saw Peach Clementine, I expected Peach Clementine flavours! Instead, I tasted mostly sweet-tart orange juice. The clementine flavour would have been a sweeter citrus in the juice, but I didn't get that at all. The peach flavour was verrry faint and overwhelmed by the orange flavour. I'm not a big fan of fruit juice from concentrate, especially when it's diluted like this one. The packaging is great for kids, but I'd prefer to buy fresh fruit juice whenever possible. I do appreciate that it has no added sugars, so you definitely could do worse.

Where to buy: Fortinos, Fresho, Real Canadian Superstore

I like that there are no added sugars and that there's a full dose of vitamin C. I understand that Oasis' FruitZoo packaging appeals to kids (bright colours and animals), so for these reasons, I'd recommend it. However I don't personally like this flavour and I won't be buying it again. I also have mentioned before that I'm having a difficult time going back to fruit juice from concentrate after trying Kiju (reviewed here) and Arthur's (reviewed here) fresh juices.
