Ingredient Score:
Naked Juice Double Berry receives a rating of 3 out of 5 green leaves on our scale for cleaner food options. This score reflects its standing as a mid-range choice for consumers seeking healthier beverages.
The drink is a blend of several fruit purees and juices, combined with both soy and whey protein, aimed at those looking for a protein-enriched fruit juice. It includes apple and carrot juice concentrates, banana and strawberry purees, and blueberry elements, both puree and concentrate. The presence of ascorbic acid serves to fortify the beverage with vitamin C.
However, the product does not carry an organic certification, leading to a deduction in its overall score. The absence of organic ingredients suggests the potential for pesticide residues, which some consumers may find concerning. Additionally, there is no clear indication that the ingredients are non-GMO. This lack of verification around genetic modification may deter those who prioritize genetically unaltered food sources.
Another point of concern is the inclusion of ‘natural flavor’ within the list of ingredients. The term ‘natural flavor’ is broad and can encompass a range of substances, some of which may not align with the goals of individuals searching for whole and unprocessed foods. This ambiguity around the composition of ‘natural flavor’ contributes to a lower score, as it introduces uncertainty about the product’s purity and simplicity.
While Naked Juice Double Berry provides a source of protein and vitamin C, its non-organic status, potential GMO content, and the inclusion of vaguely defined natural flavors prevent it from achieving a higher rating. Consumers seeking a cleaner food option might find this product acceptable, but those with stricter criteria for organic and non-GMO ingredients, as well as transparency in flavor additives, might opt for alternatives that better meet their standards. The 3 out of 5 green leaves rating serves as a guide for customers to weigh the product’s attributes against their personal health and wellness benchmarks.
