UPBEAT CHOCOLATE ORANGE

UPBEAT CHOCOLATE ORANGE

Hey guys and girls, so we are in febuary and I am back with another review for you all.

As some of you know I previously have reviewed some upbeat drinks by the good whey.

in the lovely strawberry flavour and also the mango flavour which wasn't really to my liking.

Anyway I am back Trying the New chocolate orange flavour thanks to the good whey who sent me some money of vouchers so I could try the new flavour for you.

 I am A big lover of Chocolate orange chocolates and jaffa cakes,

so I am pretty excited to test these to see how yummy they are for you.

THE REVIEW

Well first impressions looking at the bottle is a nice design on the bottle itself.

Info on the bottle is nice and clear easy to read and very informative.

Anyway Me and hubby both opened a bottle each and took the first sip,

right away I was disapointed to the fact the orange overpowered the chocolate and wasn't really what I  was expecting at all which is a real shame as I normally really love chocolate orange, Hubby also says the orange overpowered the chocolate for him too.

Hubby also says he can still taste the whey in the drink as well, which is not really a good thing in his opinion, for me I couldn't taste the whey though so maybe depends on how good your taste buds are, I am not really sure what else to say as I am sorry to say this drink wasn't to my or my hubbys taste buds.

Also want to add it left a weird taste in my mouth afterwards

OVERALL VERDICT

Overall I am sorry to say this drink wasn't to my liking The orange overpowered the chocolate, 

which is a shame as me and hubby are a lover of chocolate orange.

Also this flavour left a weird taste in my mouth afterwards which wasn't to nice.

However as always this is only my opinion on the drinks as obviously we all like different things and  have different tastes, So if you're unsure to try this maybe see if you can pick up a bottle from your local tesco you can check where they are stocked on the good whey website.

Vita coco kids drinks

Hey girls and guys I am back with a small review on vita coco.
I hope you enjoy reading I know its an small review but know a few of you have been asking for me to find kids drinks other then some of the ones you already know about.

so thought id share with you today about the brand and drinks incase any of you haven't heard of them also you don't have to have kids to drink these they suitable for adults too.

Vita drinks make great tasting healthy juices 
that most kids love and enjoy.

The juices are not made with just any old water
 the water used is coconut water.

Coconut water is healthy and tastes great.

(free from preservatives and colourings)

The two flavours we got from vita coco.

• Apple and blackcurrant
• Mango and pineapple

Both of these are mixed with coconut water. 

Today Chloe as agreed to be my second tester of the drinks as a child herself thought I would ask her and what she thinks after all she is a child who does indeed speak her mind.

Apple And Blackcurrant 

First of all Chloe tried the blackcurrant flavour which is apple and blackcurrant which is mixed with coconut water. After taking a big sip Chloe firsts words were I like it !

she says its very delicious and I asked her if it was better than normal black currant and she nodded her head and said yes mummy it is scrumptious.

Mango And Pineapple

Now for Chloe to try the mango one, Well I am pretty shocked for Chloe who is 5 to say she likes this one too was pretty shocking because Chloe normally only drinks blackcurrant,orange or summer fruits, so she was pretty impressed by the mango one.

Chloe said she would love drink vita coco everyday
 with lunch and dinner.

Now time for me to try the drinks and see what I think.

Blackcurrant And Apple

What I think of the black current one well with being a fussy 24 year old I dont normally like blackcurrant drinks i am more of a strawberry person but I can say this black current is not to bad I think the balance of flavours is pretty spot on not to much apple and not to much blackcurrant

Also think the coconut water just adds that extra special touch to the flavour helping to give it a great taste i would for sure buy the blackcurrant flavour one again as it went down a treat and was very refreshing and tasted great.

Mango And Pineapple

what I think of the mango one I am sorry but its not for me whatsoever the flavours are not for me. the pineapple for me is too overpowering and does not go to well with the mango,the coconut water with these too flavours just didn't seem right.

Thats just my opinion though we all like different things.

it left a dry taste in my mouth,I would not drink the mango one again.

Overall verdict

Overall I am Impressed that my daughter enjoyed both flavours.

I was more so impressed that she liked the mango one as normally she does not like fruits etc and is fussy like me i am impressed that the drinks tasted so nice to her that she said she could and would drink these every day.

I am pleased I liked the blackcurrant as I am not normally one for black currant drinks I have not really ever liked them.

I loved the flavour of this one and how refreshing it was for me and made my feel hydrated and the flavours all worked well.

I was not happy with the taste of the mango and pineapple.
 For me the flavours didn't work and didn't seem like they should be together,I think its something as simple as the balance aint right or it might need something to break up the taste it left my mouth feeling dry and made me more thirsty.

Juice burst

Juice burst drinks

Today i am reviewing juice burst blood orange flavour.

first of all i can say the flavour blood orange may put you off but let me stop you there.

from the first mouthful straight away i could taste how lovely and sweet the drink was.

i really like the taste its sweet but tasty at the same time the flavours seem to work well for me.

it is 1 of your 5 a day which is a plus when choosing food and drink because fruit and veg is good for you not so much the sugar but its all about moderation.

typical values per 100ml

energy 40.9kcal

protein 0.2g

carbohydrates 9.5g

fat <0.1g

of which saturates <0.1g

fibre <0.1g

sodium 0.02g

ingredients

blood orange,

water,sugar,

black carrot juice,

citric acid,

ascorbic acid,

pectin,

locust bean gum,

Although we all may like sweet things and need a little bit of sugar in our diets,

i wouldn't recommend drinking to many of these because too much sugar can be bad.

but they are ok in moderation as with anything we have in our diets its about balance diet.

i don't really care how many calories i consume as i don't worry too much about that myself.

but do know some of you may be calorie conscious and check them before you drink and eat.

so i have put how many calories are in there incase you check calories before buying a product.

Overall verdict

Overall this is a great healthy product that is 1 of your 5 a day of fruit and vegetables

i would suggest drinking in moderation as with all food and drink of the market.

juice burst do a range of many other flavours as well which i am yet to try.

i would recommend this product and i would most definitely buy it again purely because

it tastes great and is 1 of my 5 a day which is great because i normally drink a lot of coffee.

that all for now thank you for reading my review on juice burst blood orange flavour.

as always id love to hear your thoughts and views and any questions or feedback you may have.

have you tried juice burst?

which flavours have you tried?
