Welch’s Aqua Juice {Giveaway}
Today’s review caused huge a stir of excitement when it arrived at my door.
GW: Why is someone sending you juice?
Me: So we can try it out and tell people what we think about it.
GW: Like who?
Me: The people who read my blog.
GW: People read your blog?
Me: Um, go make your bed.
Welch’s Aqua Juice is being marketed to moms as a lower calorie alternative to plain juice or soft drinks. With the problem of childhood obesity growing ever larger each year (pun intended), I commend Welch’s for creating healthier choices.
But how does it taste?
I assembled an expert panel of kids to try it out.
Starting on the left we have:
S - boy, aged 8 and 3/4: Able to run faster and jump higher than anyone else. Don’t believe me? Just ask him.
GW - girl, aged 8 and 1/4: Has recently discovered the thrill of talking on the phone to friends. Oh joy.
J - boy, aged 5 and 3/4: Serious middle child, does not like to be called J-Dog. So I call him that all the time.
Wasn’t there another expert? Where’d he go? Oh, there he is:
This one is also called s, but he’s little.
s - boy, aged two and 1/2: Likes firetrucks. And pretty much anything else with wheels.
Panel Qualifications: They’re kids and they’re thirsty.
I poured the juice and asked for their reactions.
S: It smells like nothing. I think it’s great but I can’t get any taste of it. I mean I can only taste it when it’s in my mouth. I think he is stating that the product has no discernible aftertaste. S was the only expert who did not finish his juice.
GW: I really like it. It has a good flavor, kinda like apple cider with a hint of water. It’s clearer than the other kind of juice. Tasty. GW asked for, and finished a second glass.
S: I think the same as GW.
J: I can taste it when I swallow. Good for you, sweetie!
s: Dooce. Has he been reading blogs?
When asked which they preferred, regular apple juice or Aqua Juice, the panel replied:
S: This.
GW: This. It’s so tasty.
J: This ‘cuz it’s so sweet.
s: Fwire-twuck.
So, there you have it. The kids loved it.
But, when I tried it, I was less enthusiastic. Though it was smooth and went down easy (think Gatorade), it had a sweet floral taste that I didn’t care for. I don’t think I’ll purchase this product. If calories from juice consumption are a concern, I’d recommend diluting your regular juice with water. It would be more economical and (in my opinion) better tasting.
But I’m no expert.
Welch’s would like for you to try this product out and see for yourself. They have offered to ship a bottle to one of my readers. You will recieve a 52 oz. bottle in either Fruit Punch, Strawberry Kiwi, or Apple flavor.
Leave me a comment and I will randomly choose a winner February 11th at 9:00 pm, PST.

I love your research testers and their opinions! And I’m intrigued about the juice. I limit juice already because of all the sugar, so I’d be interested in how my kiddos would take to this.
