GURU Juicy: Superfruit
Hey CG readers! Check me out on Twitter and MySpace and make me feel loved! :P The Facebook page is coming too soon, and I'm still working on updating the Twitter and MySpace
GURU’s newest addition to their lineup of non-carbonated energy drinks is also an addition to the GURU Juicy lineup. Introducing GURU Juicy: Superfruit, a caffeinated concoction with a plethora of juices that comes with a USDA organic certification. Superfruit comes in a bright red can and a bubbly background, like some of the other GURU drinks. This drink is also 100% natural, and, like all of the other drinks from GURU Beverages, contains no high fructose corn syrup or any other unnatural ingredients.
Superfruit lives up to its name with a really fruit smell. After opening the can, you’ll realize that this drink smells exactly like Hawaiian Punch (or Tahitian Treat, whichever your prefer) and has a light red, almost pinkish, color to it; it’s similar to the pinkish band on the top of the can. While this variety of Juicy doesn’t taste like Hawaiian Punch, it still tastes great with its medley of exotic fruits like yumberry, black currant, açai, and pomegranate. Having it be that this drink uses interesting fruits, it’s difficult to describe the flavor, as I can’t think of anything else that tastes similar to it.
As for the caffeine content, while Juicy has a different taste than the other GURUs, it’s energy blend is the exact same. If you’re too lazy to read my other posts on GURU drinks, I’ll restate the caffeine content here too for you. This drink contains 97mg of caffeine per 8.3fl oz. serving, so about 145mg per 12oz can. The proprietary blend is 1285mg per serving and consists of the standard guarana extract, panax ginseng, and ginkgo biloba mix, with an added Echinacea flower extract.
To summarize this drink, GURU Juicy: Superfruit delivers a nice boost of energy without carbonation of HFCS, and comes with an interesting, and delicious, flavor. You can find this drink in some health food stores, or you can buy it online (use PROMO CODE: Caffeine_GURU10% for 10% off).

GURU Juicy: Tangerine
GURU Juicy is one of the three hybrid drinks from GURU Beverages which include Juicy, Full On, and Iced Tea. The” hybrids” are the drinks that combine different elements and aren’t just a carbonated energy drink. The specific hybrid we’ll be trying today is GURU Juicy: Tangerine. Juicy has the same design scheme to it as the other hybrids do – GURU is printed vertically along the can and the background of the can fades from silver to orange with circles in the foreground. It’s 100% Organic and all natural, which is no surprise seeing as how GURU prides itself on being a good tasting organic energy product.
Upon opening this beverage at first, I caught a whiff of what smells a bit like Full On, but soon caught a tangerine smell and the lemon scent faded into the back. Juicy: Tangerine has a great citrus taste to it, it’s an interesting mix of flavors, and isn’t bland like some fruit juices are; it has a nice tangerine flavor with a hint of lemon and some other fruit and isn’t too sweet. Additionally, the cane sugar gives it a pure, natural taste and it goes down smooth. If there was high fructose in this drink, it wouldn’t be nearly as good. The nice thing about being a GURU “hybrid” drink is that Juicy contains no carbonation, so nothing interferes with the rich, sharp citrus taste and you can focus on the juice itself, without additives getting in the way of your enjoyment of the drink.
While this drink may come across as no different than that glass of juice you have every morning, it packs a kick that that Florida’s Natural (which is far better then Tropicana) can’t, albeit orange juice has Vitamin C, which GURU lacks. A 12oz can of this tangerine concoction contain 130 calories, 32 sugars (from cane juice) and about 145mg of caffeine per can, or 97mg per 8.3fl oz. Like the rest of the GURU family, this drink contains the 1285mg/serving energy blend of guarana, panax ginseng, gingko biloba, and Echinacea flower. So the next time you reach for some fruit juice, consider the fact that you can get the same USDA certified organic juice, but with caffeine, from GURU.
