Rating: Average
- 3 out of 5
Ingredient Score:
Rated at 3 out of 5 green leaves, the Starbucks American Menu Frozen Mango Dragonfruit Lemonade Starbucks Refreshers® Beverage offers a middle-of-the-road choice for consumers seeking cleaner food options. It is not certified organic and does not exclusively use non-GMO ingredients, which accounts for its moderate score on our website.
The ingredient list for this beverage includes ice, a lemonade mix composed of water, lemon juice, sugar, and lemon oil, and the mango dragonfruit refreshers base, which combines water, sugars in the form of sugar and white grape juice concentrate, natural flavors, citric acid, natural green coffee flavor, and rebaudioside-a. Additionally, it features a strawberry puree sauce, with ingredients like strawberry puree, white grape juice concentrate, water, fruit and vegetable juice for color, natural flavors, xanthan gum, and citric acid, and is topped with freeze-dried dragonfruit pieces.
The presence of added sugars such as sugar and citric acid detracts from the product’s overall healthfulness. Furthermore, the inclusion of potentially harmful additives like natural flavors and xanthan gum further impacts the rating. The product does not meet the criteria for a higher score due to the absence of organic certification and the use of some genetically modified ingredients.
This beverage lands squarely in the middle of the spectrum; it does not represent the healthiest option available, but it is also not among the worst in terms of clean eating. Consumers looking for a moderately healthy beverage may find this product acceptable, but those seeking the cleanest options might prefer to explore alternatives that boast organic ingredients and fewer additives. The Starbucks American Menu Frozen Mango Dragonfruit Lemonade Starbucks Refreshers® Beverage is a compromise between convenience and health-consciousness, embodying a product that provides a certain level of transparency with its ingredients, yet still leaves room for improvement in the realm of clean eating.
