Fitness Romance SagaTasting! Odwalla Pink Poetry Fruit Smoothie
November 18th, 2009 • 21 Comments | Leave a Comment »
Yo, Odwalla! You’ve got some explaining to do!
My Greedy Gland never goes overactive for the good stuff that grows on trees, but all of a sudden my taste buds are spastically rejoicing over Odwalla‘s Pink Poetry Fruit Smoothie.
What’s the deal?
My tasting intuition knew it was going to be good, but hot dang! This stuff tastes like my own personal Fruit Servant grew the food out back, harvested the healthy-ness, then presented it to me real fresh and lovely in a smoothie formulation.
The ingredients read like Healthy Hippie love:
“Plum puree, apple juice, orange juice, banana puree, dark sweet cherry puree, pink guava, hibiscus extract, cranberry extract, green tea extract, rose hips, Vitamins C & E, plus Iron and Calcium. “
Odwalla calls it a Superfood and I’ll attest to that. There is NO artificial unhealthy crap in this drink. It’s a 100% juice/puree blend that’s thick and filling enough to serve as a meal replacement, and wildly flavorful with awesome aroma from the beautiful blend of fruit ingredients.
Pink Poetry Fruit Smoothie is superior in taste to any concoction I’ve blended at home or anything I’ve ever bought from one of those fresh fruit smoothie stands. It was designed with women in mind to provide some of the essential nutrients for us Diva Darlings, and was also introduced to raise awareness of breast cancer. (but men should drink it too)

I love the flavors. I would just caution people to be label readers since it is 2 servings per bottle. Some may miss that & will get 280 calories if they drink the whole yummy thing! I tend to eat the fruit vs. drinks BUT a good thing for people on the go. Were there fiber grams as well?
I agree with Nicole.. your writing is so fun to read!

This one doesn’t really do anything for me. I don’t know, I guess I am just not a smoothie type person.

It looks and sounds good…it gets me at the price though.

Josie November 19th, 2009 at 9:56
I agree, the price is kind of a clincher, but when you consider that it can easily serve as an awesome breakfast or lunch all by itself, it’s a pretty good deal.

Absolutely, but I had one for lunch yesterday, and it turned out to be a very satisfying, 280 calorie lunch.
And gracias on the compliments! Love you much!

the price is steep but less than i would pay for a jamba juice smoothie…and probably better tasting…and much less than i would pay for a lunch. i might have to check out some Super Food.

That looks very fabulous to me! I’ve never tried it – I wonder if they sell it in my tiny town?

Man, that sure looks healthy and delicious and scrumptious and good. But take the sugar content and multiply it by 2 for both portions, and you get a whopping 52g of sugar/bottle! Yikes!

So some people are freaking out over the sugars. But when it comes to natural sugars from fruit, I don’t find it freak-worthy. Try this, my friends. Just drink 1/2 the bottle and save the other 1/2 for tomorrow.

I love odwallas. I found this new flavor in the store the other week. It looks super girlie but I got it anyways and I liked it. Roomie tried it and he thought it was too breakfasty. I disagree because I cant taste the orange flavor very much at all. I get odwallas whenever they’re on sale, which is kind of often at our stores here. It’s a healthy fruit addition to any meal. And I always need more fruit in my diet.
