Cheribundi REFRESH Teas and Juices {Review & Giveaway}

I am all about finding healthy beverages for myself and my family. This is not an easy task as there are so many different types of juices in the juice aisle of the store...how do you know you are getting something that is good and healthy for you? Ingredient lists are a great way to start...my rule of thumb is that if you can't read the ingredients, it probably isn't that great for you. Sure, it may taste good but is it really REALLY good for you? Most  likely, no. Even apple juice is watered down and sugared up and that is what my children love to drink. Bleah. Trying to branch out into new drinks is exciting for me; I enjoy offering different things to my family to drink and knowing that the drink is healthy, makes it all the more enjoyable.
Recently, I was approached by a company called Cheribundi and they carry premium tart cherry juices and teas that are packed full of cherries. One of the things that really caught my eye about this company is their passion about cherries and the way your health can become better simply by adding cherry juice to your diet. Many of you may or may not know this but I have Lupus. I deal with a good amount of joint pain and inflammation on a pretty regular basis...especially during the warm summer months. So, in looking for dietary help with that it is good to know that cherry juice can help with my health issues. Before I continue on with my review, here is a bit more about Cheribundi...

Sometimes it takes regular people to stumble upon a really good thing. That's how cheribundi™ was created: snacking on tart cherries eased a regular person's back pain. This anecdotal cure was researched by food scientists at Cornell University who not only uncovered the benefits of tart cherries, but also developed a proprietary juicing process so all the cherry-goodness and nutrients could be delivered in a great tasting juice.

Whether you're trying to stay active and healthy or win a triathlon, this superfruit juice will give you benefits exclusive to the round little fruit.

It was also really cool to read on their websites that many professional sports teams use Cheribundi juices for their players...teams like the Dallas Cowboys, Kansas City Chiefs, and many more. These sports athletes need so much energy and stamina when playing their games, it really says alot that they use cherry juice as part as their health regimen. So, when I was asked about reviewing some Cheribundi juices and REFRESH teas, I was very excited and agreed!
So, for this review I was sent a case of assorted juices to try and I have to say, I am impressed. :) Just so you know, the bottles with the green caps are the REFRESH Teas and the clear caps are the Tart Cherry Juices in various flavors. The flavors I received were: from the REFRESH Teas line - Cherry Rooibos Tea, Cherry Green Tea, Cherry Jasmine Tea, Cherry Black Tea. From the REFRESH Juice line - Tart Cherry Pomegranate, Tart Cherry Raspberry, Tart Cherry Blueberry and Tart Cherry Cranberry and Tart Cherry Lemonade.
First of all, I love the packaging. It is fresh, modern and very eye-catching. The art work is pretty and you can definitely tell these juices apart from others as the look is signature for Cheribundi. I have not really seen these around at my stores but I found out that the Cheribundi brand is sold at some stores not too far from me...good to know. :)
I LOVE Lemonade so the first flavor I tried was the Tart Cherry Lemonade. Of course, I loved it. It has just the right balance of sweet and sour and what I loved the most was that this was not a super thin drink in consistency. It needed a good shake before I poured it because there was sediment in the bottom of the bottle. This is a GOOD sign of a really GOOD juice!!
Of course, I cannot review any type of food or drink with my little taste-testers finding out. :) These guys love juice and I am thrilled to offer them Cheribundi juices. Want to know what they thought?
Yep! They LOVED it! I had a very difficult time keeping this juice away from them for the remainder of the day and even my 16 month loved it! He was practically wearing it when he was done tasting drinking the entire glass. My hubby and I tested some other flavors and the other favorite I now have is the Rooibos Tea...wow, what an amazing flavor! Hubby is pretty picky when it comes to what he drinks but he really enjoyed drinking Cheribundi.

Cheribundi Juices and Teas vary in price. You can purchase directly from the company in large quantities or you can find a retailer near you and purchase these individually. They run between about $2.50 each to about $3.50. Again, it depends on where you purchase it and which variety you want. You can also purchase Cheribundi on Amazon...some varieties are on sale right now and you can qualify for free shipping as well. Definitely, I would say that Cheribundi is a delicious brand and would be well worth the purchase. I have a friend who I am going to be sharing some of these juices with as she is a cancer survivor who suffers from other health problems and is always looking for healthier diet options. She will LOVE these! :)
