Bolthouse Farms - 26 Reviews

I haven't eaten all day. It's quarter after twelve and I've been up for a good three hours. I would have slept in longer but between my dogs and my girlfriend calling me on my day off, I can't. I decided to take advantage of the day by:

• Cleaning up the backyard which was previously covered by snowy poop


• Strip some paint off the doors, which led to me taking the battery out of the smoke alarm and opening the doors to ventilate some smoke and fumes.


• Sit on the computer for an hour and wait for my company to come to a meeting which never started

All of this basically nothing led me to get a bit hungry. Since I didn't feel like making something to eat and there really isn't anything in the house to eat, I decided that today would be the day that I would test out a dietary supplement. Lucky for me, it was a delectable chocolaty treat.

I don't really like smoothies too much. All fruit ones are good, but once you start mixing things like carrots, beets, potatoes, and the like, it gets to be a little too much. When I saw that Bolthouse made a chocolate protein shake, I was intrigued and promptly bought it. Now it's been sitting in my fridge for about a month and I see it every time I open the door. I will say that this is a wonderful drink. It's super rich and smooth and doesn't at all taste like it has a ton of protein, vitamins, and minerals, but it's actually not that bad for you. Like many other Bolthouse drinks, there isn't additional sugar, just apple juice used as a sweetener, which is smart. It's really chocolaty and you could easily destroy the whole bottle and then probably feel a tad sluggish as you just ingested way too much.

Anyone who likes supplement drinks or protein shakes or someone who is on a diet and just wants to enjoy chocolate again, try this on for size.

This was as good as I wanted it to be. It tasted like a Starbucks mocha Frappuccino but with less coffee, which is more desirable to me. This is a large bottle and if I didn't stop myself, I could have easily slammed the entire thing. I liked it a lot and wasn't too worried with the exception that I haven't found a Bolthouse that I like. They're excellent for you but some of them are a bit too much for me. Not complex, just too "let's add this and this and this and this". This was pretty simple and I was pleased to see that it had no additional sugar and was sweetened by the apple juice that is a main ingredient.

I think that this, or any of the other ones, would be great to have any time, but like Jay does, have when you're sick. It's filled with important vitamins and minerals and is sure to make you feel better. They have a straight chocolate one that might be next on my list.

Also, at ~$4 per bottle, it can be a bit steep, but you do get a lot. For those interested in trying it out, they have smaller bottles that are about $2-$3 each which is more approachable. You can also get this at nearly any grocery store.

I can't get over how smooth this is. I yet again expected it to be really harsh. I always feel like anything that has a lot of antioxidants in it is going to be super strong. I should have learned better from my last Bom Dia.
It tastes a lot like pear juice. I'm guessing that's the mangosteen. I really need to try a lot of these weird fruits in their natural form, so I can better identify the flavors. You also have to love a drink that is as sweet as this that has no added sugar. Dear Bolthouse, you have done it again. You've made drinking healthy things tasty and fun.

This is one of Bolthouse's combo fruit and veggie drinks. I expected it to be an equal separation with 4 fruits and four veggies, but it's 5 different fruits and a whole mess of carrots. It's nice the fruit is still the strong flavor, but you get all the health benefits from the carrots like x-ray vision, and being able to talk to rabbits.
It's not my favorite Bolthouse flavor, but it's still pretty good.

I've never actually had anything that was just Acai before. It's always added to other juices for the health benefits. I think I like it better when it's the star of the game. I've had this in my fridge for about a week. I was nervous to try it. I expected it to be insanely potent like pomegranate juice can be. It ended up having the intensity of your normal run of the mill juice. The acidity doesn't burn your throat, which was good. It reminds me of blueberries and grapes mixed, maybe a little apple through into the mix. *I just looked at the ingredients and there is apple juice in it.* After that last sip I realized what it tastes like, a berry fruit roll up. It's like they took a hundred of those sticky little sheets and liquefied them. The more I drink it, the more I like it. Out of all of the "super fruit" drinks that I've had, this is easily the best.

Whenever I start to feel like I'm getting sick, I make a run to the store and pick up a Bolthouse. My go to flavors are Green Goodness and C-Boost. Today when I was feeling a little under the weather, I did the usual, but I saw that they had a new flavor. It's pretty great. This one is a juice and not a smoothie, but it seems to be doing its job. Passion fruit and guava are two of my favorite fruits, and they both overpower the orange juice. I for one am very pleased. It also amazes me how sweet juice can be without any added sugars. I just finished the bottle, and I'm starting to feel better already.
