Minute Maid Enhanced Pomegranate Blueberry Juice

By: Tanya Patrice | Feb 13, 2008

Minute Maid has a line of Enhanced Juices which includes Heartwise Orange Juice which aids in reducing cholesterol (read our glowing review), MultiVitamin and Active Orange Juices plus the new Pomegranate Blueberry Juice which has omega-3 fatty acids/ DHA to "Help nourish your brain."

This juice tastes just sweet with no tartness and it doesn't really taste like pomegranate juice. In fact, the taste reminds me a lot of TrueBlue Blue Berry Juice. Minute Maid says that this a 100% juice blend, but don't get excited or fooled into thinking this is 100% pomegranate and blueberry juice. Instead the ingredients - in order from most to least - are apple, grape and pomegranate juices from concentrate, fruit and vegetables juices (for color), blueberry juice from concentrate, natural flavors, raspberry juice from concentrate ... DHA algal oil, added vitamins.

Heirloom Farms All Natural Pomegranate Blueberry Juice

By: Tanya Patrice | Aug 1, 2007

Heirloom Farms Pomegranate Blueberry Juice is au natural, 100% juice, no sugar added, no preservatives or artificial stuff inside it. This juice was totally tasty - sweet, tangy, natural goodness. The benefit of these 2 juices is that they are high in anti-oxidants, which I like to think of as powerful super heroes fighting for good health and fighting the effects of aging. The ingredients in this Heirloom Farm Juice are simply pomegranate juice, blueberry juice (both from concentrates) and natural flavors.

TrueBlue and LiteBlue Blueberry Juice

By: Tanya Patrice | Apr 24, 2007

Thanks to the folks at TrueBlue for sending us samples of their blueberry juice. TrueBlue is a "cocktail of blueberry and grape juices" from concentrate. Blueberries are rich in antioxidants and according to TrueBlue's website, blueberries are the number 1 antioxidant fruit. But Bom Dia Acai's website says that the acai fruit has 7x more antioxidants than blueberry. Such controversy!

The "Blue" juices were actually the color of grape juice and not 'blue at all. The 'regular' Blue was sweet, but there was no other flavor to it. It was a bit like drinking grape juice without the 'bite'. LiteBlue is sweetened with Splenda and is slightly tart (very light), but no aftertaste - thankfully so.

Lakewood Organic Pomegranate with Blueberry Juice

By: Tanya Patrice | Mar 10, 2007

Lakewood Organic Pomegranate with Blueberry is organic and provides 2 of the 5 recommended servings of fruits that you should have daily. Another plus is that the ingredients are organic pomegranate, blueberry, cherry, apple etc. - note that the 2 fruits that actually make up the name of this juice, pomegranate and blueberry, are actually the first 2 ingredients. That is a big deal because food companies love to mix in that cheap apple juice in higher proportions than one or more of the ingredients that they are actually promoting.

But as many positives as I have just listed, notice that taste is not one of them. While it tastes - okay - it is simply sweet without any other characteristic flavor. There is none of the tartness from the pomegranate. Lakewood Organic Heart Healthy Pomegranate with Cranberry is one of my favorite pomegranate juices [read the review], but unfortunately the mixture of pomegranate with blueberry just doesn't live up to it's cranberry cousin.
