The PomX Iced Coffee Trio

Today we’ll be looking at three drinks, each lovingly made by the folks over at Pom Wonderful . Pom Wonderful specializes in pomegranate drinks, and they’ve decided to enter the caffeine market with their product PomX Iced Coffee. Right now, there’s three flavors, and we have the pleasure of sampling all three. Pom boasts to be one of the healthiest caffeinated drinks out there, as it includes their patented pomegranate extract, so every sip is chock full of antioxidants (which are healthy!). They also use fat free milk, and are certified by the Rain forest Alliance (so they’re nice people). They use all natural ingredients and have chosen to use can sugar over the industry “standard” of HFCS.

Each drink comes in a plastic bulbous container with a screw off lid. It prominently – or should I say pomegranate-ly? (sorry about that) displays the flavor as well as the PomX logo. While the picture only shows one of the containers with the “The Healthy Buzz” badge, all of them now seem to have it. Additionally, each flavor packs 175mg of caffeine in a 10.5 oz container. Not bad! If you’re still with me even after that awful pun, let’s get to the actual taste, shall we?

First up to bat is the Vanilla variety. No, it does not taste like pomegranate, it’s iced coffee for goodness sake. This flavor smells like vanilla, and has a cream color to it. Vanilla tastes, well, it tastes like vanilla. I couldn’t even tell there was coffee in it, PomX clearly has utilized some sort of magic to mask out the coffee flavor. That being said, the Vanilla PomX goes down smooth, it’s not too strong, but it’s not watered down. The taste is utterly fantastic and with only 180 calories, it’s a great, and healthier alternative to the Starbucks Iced Coffees.

Next up is Café au Lait, and I’m already starting to feel the buzz from the first drink. Now this one smells like a cappachino, so it’s most likely to taste more coffee-esque than the last one. It has a kind of carmel hue to it, like coffee with a lot of milk, and just as it smells and looks like a cappacino, it tastes like it too. This variety also goes down smooth, and has a hint of coffee to the taste. PomX has done a good job of avoiding too strong of a beverage, and the Café au Lait has the perfect blend of coffee and milk to keep the flavor balanced.

Two drinks and 300mg of caffeine later, we’re now at the last of the three flavors; Chocolate. If you’ve been paying attention so far, you can probably guess that this one has a dark brown coloring, smells like chocolate, and tastes like chocolate. The taste is similar to chocolate milk with Hersey’s Syrup, but only tastes more mild and healthier (Pom uses cane sugar instead of HFCS).

This is a great product, and the three flavors are all great and give the customers a nice variety to pick from. You can check out the official site for PomX Iced Coffee over at HealthyBuzz.com or you can try to find some at your local store, use the website to locate the closest store.

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). Coupon has expired, sorry guys!

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.

You can find GURU energy in some wholefood stores with their store finder, or you can buy some at their online store and get free shipping and 10% off with our exclusive coupon Caffeine_GURU10% Coupon has expired, sorry guys! . I’m not affiliated with GURU Beverages in any way, shape or form, but I am affiliated with the coupon , so treat yourself to something nice with an even nicer discount.
