Day 58 — Tangerine Strawberry Ice Pops

I’ve mentioned before that I am a sucker for new things, so when I saw this new line of juices is the store, I had to try it in an ice pop:

It’s a line of juice blends from “Cuties” — the same brand that distributes clementines, my kids’ favorite fruit. The primary ingredient is tangerine juice, but unlike many other juice blends, the rest of the ingredients look pretty good, too:

30% tangerine juice, 20% peach puree, 8% banana puree, 5% strawberry puree.

They come in several flavors (including a kiwi one that looks great), but I chose the “red” one because I’m a sucker for anything peach flavored.

The juice is quite thick (the bottle actually bills it as a “smoothie) and very, very sweet. I’d never drink this stuff straight, but it’s a good medium for an ice pop.

The most dominant flavor in this pop is actually the banana puree. At least, that’s the only recognizable flavor. The rest kind of blend together for a flavor that’s both intensely sweet and very tart. As I was eating this pop, I went back and forth the whole time on whether I actually liked it. I think I do, but it’s not one I’m dying to run right out and try again.
