ALO Aloe Vera Juice Drink | EXPOSED - Aloe Vera + Honey | 16.9 fl oz, Pack of 12 | Plant-Based Beverage with Real Pulp

I've tried 4 flavors of ALO:Comfort Watermelon & PeachAlo Comfort Aloe Vera Juice, Watermelon Plus Peach, 16.9 Ounce (Pack of 12)Appeal Pomolo Lemon and Pink GrapefruitALO Appeal - 16.9 fl oz. (500mL) 12-countExposed Aloe Vera With HoneyALO Exposed Aloe Vera with Honey, 16.9-Ounce Bottles (Pack of 12)Enrich Pomegranate & CranberryALO Enrich Aloe Vera and Pomegranate and Cranberry, 16.9-Ounce Bottles (Pack of 12)I thought these were nice drinks, not out-of-this world, but satisfying. They are 5-stars for me because of the pulp. The texture of the aloe vera pulp is the best! It is not stringy like orange juice pulp. With ALO, the pulp has a great texture, sort of like biting a bit of jello with a tiny bit of crunch. VERY satisfying. Alo drinks are different, and it's nice to have some around as an intriguing drink choice for friends and family.But the drinks, though nice, are otherwise average in taste and there is not a lot of taste difference among them. I don't think Alo drinks are as thirst-quenching as some other beverages. They do taste better when they're cold, though. I'm glad to see that ALO uses real sugar (cane sugar) instead of aspartame. Notice that different Alo drinks have different percentages of juice in their makeup.The Enrich with pomegranate & cranberry is my favorite of the three. It is light with a slight berry taste and pinkish color.My daughter really likes the Comfort Watermelon & Peach. It has a mild watermelon taste.As one of the three fruits in Appeal is pink grapefruit, I was hoping Appeal would have an astringent grapefruit taste. Unfortunately, Appeal's citrus flavor is very general and has no tartness. It is nice and light, but not distinctive.The Exposed with Honey had a slight, though not unpleasant, aftertaste (perhaps because of the honey, like a lingering taste of food on the tongue).I'm ordering more of the Enrich, Comfort and Appeal, but will pass on the Exposed. As I said, they are great for introducing people to a new drink choice.Comfort watermelon & Peach:One full 16.0 oz bottle is 255 juice,140 calorieszero fat, protein and cholesterol60 mg sodium34 mg carbs (all from sugar)Ingredients:water, aloe vera juice, aloe vera pulp, cane sugar, peach juice, watermelon juice, citric acid, vitamin C (ascorbic acid), natural watermelon and peach flavors, grape skin extractExposed With Honey:one full 16.9 oz bottle is 15% juice120 calorieszero fat, protein and cholesterol60 mg sodium30 mg carbs (all from sugar)Ingredients:water, aloe vera juice, aloe vera pulp, can sugar, honey, citric acid, vitamin C (ascorbic acid) and natural grape flavorEnriched Pomegranate & Cranberry:one full 16.9 oz bottle is 30% juice,120 calorieszero fat, protein and cholesterol50 mg sodium30 mg carbs (all from sugar)Ingredients:water, aloe vera juice, aloe vera pulp, cane sugar, pomegranate juice, grape juice, citric acid (ascorbic acid), grape skin extract for colorAppeal with Pomelo Lemon and Pink Grapefruit:one full 16.9 oz bottle is 30% juice,120 calorieszero fat, protein and cholesterol50 mg sodium32 mg carbs (all from sugar)Ingredients:water, aloe vera juice, aloe vera pulp, cane sugar, pomelo juice, pink grapefruit juice, lemon juice, citric acid, Vitamin C (ascorbic acid)Happy Reader

Went to Paris last May, my 3rd time there after many years away. Stayed in the Trocadero, which was truly lovely. Out walking one day, I was thirsty, and stopped in a Casino (not the betting kind, the supermarket) not far from our rental apartment. I saw this drink in the cold case, and thought it looked interesting.I have to be really careful about my sugar consumption (okay, this may confuse you if you've already read my glowing review for the huge bag of Broadway red licorice wheels, but never mind that right now), so I always check the sugar content of drinks like this, especially when they're in French, which I should have had a much better grasp on before the trip, but okay, I bought the quick-learn-French books *again* and just didn't get to it. Same for the quick-German books. Oh well, they look great in the bookcase."ALO Exposed" has only FIFTEEN GRAMS of sugar per 16.9 oz bottle, which is remarkable. I decided to try it.Very interesting consistency: somewhat more viscous than water, but not at all phlegm-y, if you'll pardon the reference, but if you drink weird fruit drinks, you'll get what I mean. The most interesting part was that there were big strips of actual aloe pulp in the drink. This was odd at first, but the best part about it is that each aloe strip contains more liquid as you squish it in your mouth. I really, really liked it, and it definitely quenched my thirst.You need to gently shake the bottle before opening, and/or each time you drink some, because the aloe strips will settle to the bottom.The one that I bought was the Aloe Vera + Honey. They have several other flavors, and I did try them, but this is my favorite, partly for the taste and probably also for the memory of where I was drinking it for the rest of my vacation.I highly recommend this drink if you're counting calories/sugar grams and want a very tasty, refreshing alternative to plain water, which I just don't like that much.60 calories per 8 oz15 grams sugar " "SOWhen I got home, I could not find this ANYWHERE to buy in the US for several months!I finally found it at an occasional health-food store, where they'd sell it for $3.00/bottle. Outrageous, but I did buy a few as a treat whenever I could find it.Lo and behold, after trying my search again a couple months ago, I found it here on Amazon!By the CASE, and SO MUCH CHEAPER.AWESOME, refreshing drink(if you don't mind the aloe inclusions), GREAT price, Excellent transaction and fast shipping.HIGHLY recommend!Gluten-free, if that matters to you

Very tasty Aloe drink that's actually made with juice. It does have small chunks of aloe in it. They are translucent and soft, they don't require a lot of chewing but they do have a slight amount of structural integrity. The flavor is light, not unlike a sort of white tea. The health value is pretty immense, compare the ingredients list to any soda and not only do you get more beverage it's not filled with harmful dyes or dubious sweeteners.

Good taste, excellent quality recommend
