Sainsbury's Freshly Squeezed Orange Juice

I always thought I used to hate Fresh Orange juice, it’s only until I went to Greece and they had all these machines that squeezed the juice out of oranges, that I decided I liked it.

Everyday this week, so far, I’ve had a bottle of Fresh Orange Juice with my lunch.

This bottle was from Sainsbury’s. It’s from the ‘Taste the Difference’ range. It comes in a plastic bottle with a bright ...
...juice. Instead of having plain, boring labels, the ‘Taste the Difference’ range, tries to make a normal product, sound so much more interesting, bless them for trying, but it’s orange juice at the end of the day!!

I always thought I used to hate Fresh Orange juice, it’s only until I went to Greece and they had all these machines that squeezed the juice out of oranges, that I decided I liked it.

Everyday this week, so far, I’ve had a bottle of Fresh Orange Juice with my lunch.

This bottle was from Sainsbury’s. It’s from the ‘Taste the Difference’ range. It comes in a plastic bottle with a bright orange, screw off lid. The bottle contains 500mls of orange juice. Instead of having plain, boring labels, the ‘Taste the Difference’ range, tries to make a normal product, sound so much more interesting, bless them for trying, but it’s orange juice at the end of the day!!

If that doesn’t excite you, then I don’t think you’re going to get excited about orange juice! The little bit of information does make the orange juice quite appealing, it makes it sound lovely.

Also on the label, there’s little bits of information about the product and the people who sell and manufacture it. This is only available from Sainsbury’s and costs £1.49 normally, although I got it at the reduced price of £1.16. I think this is quite expensive, as you can purchase cheaper versions of fresh orange for about 40p for a litre. The reason the this is so expensive, is the fact its from the ‘Taste the Difference’ range, and it’s from Sainsbury’s. Although it is quite expensive, it is pretty appealing, so people will buy it, I know I would.

The lid screws off the bottle easily, and the first thing you see is the bright orange gunk, that’s all around the neck of the bottle. Obviously, it’s little bits of orange, but it doesn’t look particularly nice. After poking my tongue into the bottle and having a little lick (good job the office is empty!) I discovered it tastes very orangey, and very pleasant.

The orange juice itself is a bright orange/yellow colour, like most orange juice really! It actually smells like freshly squeezed orange juice, it smells quite sweet and doesn’t have a tangy bitter smell to it. ]

Upon tasting this, the firs thing I noticed, was the bits! It’s got the bits of the oranges in it. I know a lot of people will be put off by this, but I like it, I think it tastes very nice and natural. I wouldn’t say that it was amazingly refreshing, but it would be much nicer, had it been left in a nice cold fridge for a few hours. This would be prefect for a hot sunny day, if you put some ice cubes in it.

This orange juice contains 246 calories for the full bottle, but considering it’s supposed to contain two servings at 123 calories per serving, it isn’t too bad.

Obviously this contains lots of vitamin C which helps maintain healthy skin and gums and the body’s resistance to infection.

Like with most types of fresh orange juice, there is a slight after taste, but it isn’t too bad, and doesn’t last that long.

Overall I really like this, and although it’s quite expensive, it’s worth it.

Thanks for the Read
