Friday Question #80
What is your favorite flavor of juice (or juice-inspired drink)? How often do you drink juice?
My favorite flavor of juice is orange juice, freshly squeezed. I hardly ever drink it, because, as you all know, I prefer to eat all of my fruit.
But since I’ve been in DC this week, I have been drinking a lot more juice, either because I don’t have access to fresh fruit, or because I have a per diem and can afford to get it.
Yesterday, I grabbed a Strawberry Banana Naked Juice. Whoa. Have you ever had one of these? They are FILLING. I wondered why I felt so full after drinking it, then looked at the back of it and realized it had a DAY’S worth of fruit inside.
It’s actually a pretty convenient way to eat your fruit for the day, especially since they don’t have any added sugar! It got me thinking about the juicer we have at home. It would be fun to experiment with making my own fruit concoctions. But I wonder if a blender would be a better appliance to do that in, and we definitely don’t have one of those.

Mmm, I like freshly squeezed OJ too! Though I’m also a big fan of white grape juice.
I should try that Naked juice. I’m always turned off by the number of calories though.

Here’s where I get to be the weirdo…I hate juice. Plech ptooey!
However, for some odd reason I totally like to mix orange juice, cranberry juice and diet 7up when I am sick.
The only things that I like are “juice inspired drinks” and mostly only if they’re some form of berry and pomegranate!

My favorite juice has to be mixed fruit juice, but really I like most juices!

I tend to avoid juice as well, for both reasons of easily consuming too many calories and the fact I like my fresh fruit better!
I’m not a huge fan of OJ, especially if it has pulp. Yuck!! I like grape and cranberry the best.
I don’t really like juice. The only kind I would really even drink is apple juice. The funny thing is that I sort of want a juicer. And I don’t even drink juice!

I don’t really drink juice, either. Too many calories that I could use for something else. But, I have to admit to liking Fuze Orange Mango.

I think Welch’s Grape juice is the best. But I’m not sue how nutritious it is. I don’t think it’s bad for you, it just doesn’t seems as “healthy” as something with pulp.
But generally I just drink OJ. And I’m not a pulp person, as a kid I always wanted to the OJ with “no seeds”, so I know this is contradictory to the pulp comment above.
I have a big glass of OJ every day with breakfast 🙂

I like the Naked blue juice, might be called B-monster? Blueberries, blackberries, apple… tasty.
Don’t drink a lot of straight juice though I do love fresh OJ. I really dig smoothies, been making my own this summer and I’d recommend a blender for that route. Most of the ones I can buy around here have yogurt in them which makes them really heavy. Here’s my post of smoothie making tips if you’re interested.
My favorite juice was this prickly pear cactus lemonade made by Bolthouse Farms. I’m not sure if they still make it, and it was super expensive (think around $4 a bottle), but it was fantastic!
I try not to drink much juice…but I’ve started drinking more VitaminWater lately…my brothers are both huge fans and Iike it better than G2.

I love grape juice. I don’t think it tastes like grapes, though.

I like white cranberry – strawberry juice. It’s what I drink when I need something with a little more flavor than water.

Blueberry pomegranate is my all time favorite for juices and it’s only been recently (in the last few years). Minute Maid brand for mornings and Vitamin Water for the rest of the day.
