Juice Talk - Featuring ‘The berry company’ & ‘Charlie’s’


Hi everyone, hope you all are having a wonderful day. 

Not many people will say no to juice, or dislike juice, juices have to be one of my favorite beverages and one of my favorite ways of consuming fruit. I am always on the go or just to lazy most of the time to sit and wash and peal fruit so a juice, or a smoothie tends to be my preference most of the time. 

I am always going through these phases of drinking lots of juice and smoothies because i just love how refreshing they are, how good they taste and how healthy and energized they make you feel. But then again, as much as i love making my own my fresh juices/ smoothies i am not so diligent, and i get lazy and i forget which throws me of routine. With that being said what i am always on the look out for is good pre packed juices which are readily available at super markets, because i feel that having a bottle or tetra pack of juice lying in your fridge is a constant reminder and the odds of you pouring it in a glass and drinking it and receiving the nutrients are more likely to happen. 

I have tried many brands available in the market, but what annoys me the most is how most of the packed juices available in the market try to very sneakily market them selves as all natural juices, when in reality they are juice ‘drinks’. A lot of you may not know this but there is a huge difference between ‘juice’ and a ‘juice drink’. Juice drinks are not completely natural, they have some artificial flavoring, sweeteners and preservatives and mostly made from concentrate. Where as pure juice, is just pure PURE juice with no added sugars, artificial flavorings etc. 

Juice drinks are not very healthy and are not true to the original flavor and are full of sugars and other not so healthy ingredients, to which i would say that you probably are better of not drinking at all. 

Two of my favorite juice manufacturing companies are ‘The Berry Company’ and ‘Charlie’s’. The Berry Company collects their berries from different parts of the world and make natural fruit juices, which are gluten free, free of artificial coloring, additives, sweeteners and preservatives and are also free of GMO’s and Dairy. So basically you get all the natural berry goodness which is good and healthy for you. 

Charlie’s was formed in 1999 by 3 men named Marc, Stefan and Simon, who shared the vision that juice should be purely made of fruits and vegetables, with out any preservatives, additives and artificial concentrates, leading to birth of Charlie’s the Honest beverage company.

Charlie’s has a huge variety of beverages, including ‘honest apple juice’ and ‘honest orange juice’. They also have some amazing delicious smoothies which are totally pure with no rubbish in them. There product line goes as far as juice drinks for the little ones, which are just diluted half with pure juice and half with water. They also have ‘honest quenchers’ and ‘lemonades’.  

Both of these companies just produce exceptionally good products and in my opinion are the closest you can get to real home made juices at the super store. Not only are their juices delicious but they are healthy and beneficial also, full of vitamins, minerals and antioxidants, which are just really really good for your body, your skin.. Everything! 

If you guys are in to the real deal, have a look at these and if you guys are aware of any other good pure juice brands available in the market please let me know in the comments below. :)
