It's pretty much been my belief that if you take as good care of yourself as you can possibly imagine, then the chances of your bypassing many preventable illness's becomes reality! So, considering that I also believe that you should never have a physician on speed dial (unless of course you happen to be dating one) it won't surprise you to learn that I am a pretty healthy little specimen myself! I am always on the lookout for any and all credible sources that can be beneficial to the healthy lifestyle that I have worked hard to pursue and practice. I was very interested in testing out Naked's Probiotic Tropical Mango 100% Juice Smoothie as soon as it arrived at my door!
I was initially attracted by the fact that it was 100% juice with no sugar or preservatives added, and secondly the mango is one of my all time favorite fruits so clearly Naked was already off to a running start! Based out of Azusa California, Naked Juice began their journey to success in 1983. It was then that they began daily trips to the Farmers Market to test and test and test blender after blender filled with fruits until the perfect combinations were achieved. And achieve they did! Now getting close to 30 years later, the Naked Juices are available throughout the entire country!
I found the Mango Smoothie to be satisfying, sweet (but not sickening sweet by any stretch!) and smooth as well. The mango is also referred to as "the king of fruits" for its immensely high amount of nutritious contents. It is high in amino acids, vitamins A and C, flavonoids, beta carotene, niacin, calcium, iron, magnesium, and potassium. That is obviously a more than impressive list, and in my opinion Naked Juice has done a more that admirable job of packaging it up in an attractive container and great tasting smoothie! Naked Juices are available at (my favorite) Whole Food Stores across the country, as well as numerous other locations. If you don't happen to have a Whole Foods in your area, fear not because the Naked Juice website has a very handy and efficient store locator, and is just a few quick clicks away at www.nakedjuice.com
