Fruits in Liquid Form


There is nothing quite like a glass of deep, dark, delicious juice, especially when you know that along with the refreshing taste, you are ingesting vitamins and antioxidants. Northland has come out with a few new flavors in their Superfruits 100% Juice Dark Fruits line. We like them all, but our favorite is their Blueberry Blackberry Acai blend. At first the thought of a blend like this seemed like it might be too sweet. But the taste is just sweet enough to help you start the day. Delicious.

And for a more portable potable box of juice nutrition that is not only refreshing but packed with the vitamins and minerals of fruits and vegetables, you might jive Apple and Eve's Fruitables a try. They really are a healthy and great tasting alternative to the usual juice box.
