Overall Rating: 4.5/5
Summary: Wow, this turned out to be way sweeter than I expected. It's great on its own and great in cereals and coffee/tea. The texture is really smooth/velvety and creamy and it's a very refreshing beverage. It's pretty low-cal for how great it tastes and I'd definitely buy this again. Check out the brand details below...fantastic company to support!

Great, clean ingredients (unless you're concerned with sugar content). There's no added sugar, which is a big plus and the calorie count is nice and low! I'm happy for the 30% calcium content, since I'm almost always lacking in my daily calcium intake. My only issue is the sodium content. I really don't like that much sodium in just a beverage...it doesn't help when so many foods are already too high in sodium! Still...I'd buy this again :) It's just that yummy.
The official website has some really yummy-looking recipes: check out the 'Almond Cupcakes'.

Which fortino did you see
ReplyDeleteIs it in fresh section
Hey 'b',
ReplyDeleteThis was found in the Fortinos at Quarry Edge Dr in Brampton. I believe it's found in the organic section on the shelves, not in the refrigerated section.
Hope you find it!
