Simply Apple Juice

Alas, can't drink wine when I really need wine the most (out of the house for 16 hours a day). This juice will have to do. Actually, I bought it for a recipe (pumpkin apple bread), and because the store was completely out of Martinelli's apple juice (which is funny because it implies to me that the undergrads were going ham on Martinelli's apple juice. Is it a mixer? Are their parents just fancy??). Anyway, we like a Simply juice, even if it's just "gently pasteurized". What do you mean by that, COCA COLA COMPANY? 

The point is, it tastes good. And it can't be too gentle because it didn't make me itchy. Very sweet, good apply flavor, way better than non-refrigerated non-Martinelli's apple juice. And it's almost the harvest season, so it feels appropriate. What's that? It's gonna be 90+ and sunny all next week? Haha... oh :(

Simply Limeade - Cherry

I ended up with this due to the confluence of many things: (1) the recent pom-apple heavy shirley temple spindrift (2) dunkin's summer line of limeades (3) thinking about how when I was a kid juice came from frozen cans and yet the limeade was extremely good. 

Luckily, this is all that I hoped it would be. It is extremely sweet (like, full day of sugar sweet) but such is the nature of bottled drink. It tastes like lime and like cherry, and that's because (other than sugar) those are the only ingredients. Truth in advertising! Add a bunch of ice and you've got the perfect summer drink. My ancestors would love this :')

Simply Watermelon

Watermelon juice!? Now I've seen everything. This was very sweet, like a watermelon candy, but as a juice. Still it was tasty and dare I say complex. I liked it! It would be a great mixer.

Simply Orange Juice

I'm not a huge juice drinker, more of a drink-mixer, but sometimes I get a small craving for OJ (usually when I'm scared of the cold/flu). These pulp-free Simply juices are some of my favorites. They're still a lot of sugar for me, but the consistency is good - not too thick or thin, and the flavor is a nice solid orange juice flavor.  I got the small size and I still really only wanted half of it, because it's so much in a little package! 170 calories! Gosh! I enjoyed it, though, and I also like the revised orange logo on the package, I think it looks much more stylish than the old one. Don't really care for the "non GMO" label, but I guess it sells.

Simply Lemonade with Blueberry

  Clearly this isn't "SIMPLY LEMONADE" anymore, because this one has blueberry flavor! Ha, ha. Anyway, I like it a lot -- tastes like the strawberry lemonade from a can my grandma used to whip up -- a special treat, in other words. It is very sweet, so I can only handle a half-glass at a time, but it's also very tasty.
