There is a huge variety in caffeinated products today, and many are only available regionally, making it difficult for me to acquire some. If you are a supplier, or just a reader and you want to help by donating a product for review contact me and I will gladly provide a non-biased review. Thanks for the support!

GURU Juicy: Tangerine

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 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.
