Rubicon Guanabana Juice Review


I was recommended this product by a friend and whist shopping i spotted it so i thought i would give it a try!
The fruit is also known as the graviola/soursop/brazillian pawpaw and custard apple!

Price I Paid
£1.25 you can find it in the cupboard drinks isle in large supermarkets.

Design
Quite a fun summery design, interesting to see what the fruit looks like.  After googling the fruit i found out it is probably about the size of my head which is giant for a fruit!

Colour
To be honest, i can use my excuse of being a student here because i have absolutely no idea as i drank it straight from the carton! 

Texture/Taste
It was very light so could be drunk in large quantities and tasted similar to lychee (which in itself tastes like a slightly flowery sweet grape) with a hint of citrus, possibly lime.  What was slightly strange was that it had an almost in some way watery, milky texture although it contains no milk.   It is quite a unique taste so very difficult to describe!

Smell
This drink smelt divine, like lychees and citrus i suppose!

Ingredients
55 calories per 100 ml and it comes in a 1 litre carton.  Great because this drink is not from a concentrate and is easy to store as it does not need to go into the fridge until you are ready to chill it and serve.  Another bonus is that it does not contain any artificial preservatives, sweeteners or flavourings.  It does contain an awful lot of sugar though but most fruit juices do.
Guanabana is known to have significant health benefits, rich in B and C vitamins as well as calcium and fiber.  One of the most recent discoveries is its fantastic ability to fight cancer cells, this juice in itself won't do miracles but there are many cancer/anti-depressant/immune system medicines that are derived directly from this plant.

Overall Reaction 
I absolutely loved this drink, and it is incredibly healthy. If only i had bought more than one carton when i first spotted it!
I would rate it 10/10!
