Review of 'R.W. Knudsen' Just Black Cherry

R.W. Knudsen -- Just Black Cherry (vegan)
Overall Rating: 4/5
Summary: This juice has a lovely dark colour. The juice tastes very rich and heavy, very much like POM Juice.  It's sweet and has incredible depth of flavour. The cherry taste comes through clearly and it's just really nice. I'd definitely recommend this and I'd buy it again. It seems like it would  be a great juice to serve for the holidays.

Where to buy: Fortinos

Coupon available on Mambo Sprouts as of November 19th 2012.

Well, it doesn't get much simpler than that for ingredients. The nutritional profile seems pretty bare, especially for 160 calories but the potassium dose is great and there are a number of benefits to drinking black cherry juice that are not apparent in the profile. Black cherries are a source of antioxidants (choosecherries.com) and actually has been found be anti-inflammatory and effective in relieving arthritis pain.
