notkevinmyrick Posted October 3, 2012 Share Posted October 3, 2012 I purchased and tried the the Strawberry Banana drink from Bolthouse farms. For the majority of the whole30 I've been staying away from fruit juice and smoothies. The ingredients are as follows: Strawberry puree, banana puree, pear juice from concentrate, apple juice from concentrate , apple puree, Pectin, Vitamin C, Natural flavors. I am about done with my first whole30 although I have reset a few times. Is this drink whole30 compliant? Best, Kevin Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
Susan W Posted October 3, 2012 Share Posted October 3, 2012 Well, I know you know at this point that drinking food is not Whole 30 for the most part. Are you having it as part as a meal? It's not the ingredients, it's the liquidity. Chew your food. Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
Robin Strathdee Posted October 3, 2012 Share Posted October 3, 2012 That is a sugar bomb in a bottle. I'd stay away from that much liquid sugar. I guess the short answer is no ) Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
notkevinmyrick Posted October 3, 2012 Author Share Posted October 3, 2012 I know, I should no better. Today is day 27 and I haven't been drinking fruit juices or anything. I've been staying compliant this whole time. I've had to reset a few times. I am shooting to do another whole30 right after my first one. I may have a cheal meal in between. I have never been this strict in my life and the results have been amazing. I have never looked so lean! Is this ONE time ok? Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...

Guest Posted October 13, 2012 Share Posted October 13, 2012 I would stay away from it. Anything that has "juice from concentrate" and then "natural flavors" is sketchy. Juice from concentrate means it's been super processed. "Natural flavors" means they had to add back in flavor and other junk to recover from the over processing.. this is where hidden crap comes in to play.
