This is a great product for health-concious consumers. It carries the organic seal, which means it contains at least 95% organic ingredients. I dont know about you but I have tried some foods with the “healthy” label and most of the time they taste nasty; but this was not the case, the organic vanilla soymilk is tasty. Is not sweet at all; the vanilla flavor gives it the perfect taste. Contains 90 calories per serving ( serving size 240ml). Total fat 3.5g, vitamins A,D, and B12, calsium, iron, raboflavin, and more. Oh! And for the cholesterol freaks, it contains no cholesterol, none, nada. Soymilk contains about the same proportion of protein as cow’s milk, about 8g. Some of the benefits of soymilk are: contains less saturated fat then cow’s, is the best choice for lactose intolerant people, it may reduce the risk of osteoporosis and heart disease. Is worth trying it. :)

In recent years, the Açaí berry has been receiving much hype due to its great anti-oxidant properties. If you are one who has not heard about this berry, you can read about it here, Wikipedia. Apart from a large hype coming from the MonaVie group, FNE has also taken to the hype to try and generate some sales. A few months ago they released their “fusio” drinks, amoung the few flavors one of them was Acai Mixed Berry.  I have finally gotten around to trying it and I must say it is indeed nothing special. Taste very similar to the v8splash drinks. They really have nothing that stands out in my mind. When I take a look at the ingredients list it is jam packed with so much other stuff that it takes a second look to spot that it contains, Acai Puree. 

I think this juice is ill named, and does not earn its acai mixed berry subtitle. It is overly sweet, with 26grams of sugar for every 8 oz. The distinctive flavors are Apple, Blueberry, and Grape.  This drink makes claims on its label stating, 1/2 cup of vegetables per serving.  I would highly recommend making your own juice in the juicer, my guess is it would be alot healthier for you! This juice left me disappointed, maybe they should get back to simplicity in some of their items. How ever if you do happen to purchase this juice, make sure you have some water handy, as you might be thirsty afterwards, or simply want to water this down.

As for vitamins, and other nutritional benefits this drink offers it adds;

15% Vitamin A for 8oz Serving

100% Vitamin C for 8 oz Serving

2% Calcium for 8 oz Serving

2%iron for 8oz Serving

10% Vitamin E for 8oz Serving

0% Fiber

which seems awfully weak, when a nice raw navel orange contains much better nutrishment as you can see on this website…

The Choice is yours….I would not recommend this Fusio Drink to many people…


Fresh&Easy Milk(Cow)

I have concluded that Fresh & Easy Milk is quite acceptable quality. I have tend to buy more milk than I need and seem to always have plenty after the sell by date which might not be the best thing, but the milk I purchase seems to last pretty long after its sell by date, giving me time to use it up somehow before I really need to get rid of it.

Some noteworthy things about the milk at this store are, its wide availability of milk container ranges. From the Organic Milk quart to the full Vitamin D Gallon.

Fresh&Easy Milk states that it is from cows not treated with rBST. What is rBST you might be asking,

rBST stands for “Recombinant bovine somatotropin” also referred to as “recombinant bovine growth hormone” (rBGH) which is basically a growth hormone that is injected into the cow’s in order to increase milk production. It should be known that some rBST is naturally present in cow’s milk. (Wikipedia)
