I'm serious, try it!
All natural fruit smoothies with a pound of fruit in every bottle! And the really cool thing is that on the side of the bottle, it lists how many of each fruit is in the bottle.
My favorite is the Green Machine (part of the "superfood family"). Looks nasty, but tastes awesome. It has 2 apples, 1/2 a kiwi, 1/2 banana, 1/2 pineapple, and 1/2 a mango as well as broccoli, spinach, blue green algae, garlic, echinacea, barley grass, and wheat grass along with some other random stuff. Good stuff!
Has anybody else tried it or even seen it around? Unfortunately it's kind of expensive, usually about $3-4 a bottle, but you can occasionally find it on sale for less. Also unfortunate is the fact that it's totally addicting.

I saw the red one on the website, but don't think it's one that I picked up. I want to try it though, it looks so good!

The Red Machine one, not the well-being one. And the distributor who delivered the juice always wore an "I drink naked!" t-shirt. I so wanted that shirt!  |

Yup, the Red Machine is definitely one I want to try. I'm going to have to keep my eye out for it. There's a little coffee shop downstairs that sells them, and one grocery store by my appartment. They're about half-price at the grocery store, but when I forget to bring one in and am craving them, I cave and go downstairs (like this morning!).

I had the Red Machine this morning. YUM! Very good stuff. I think I still like the Green Machine better though. I also tried one of the Protein Power ones, and while it tasted good, it was really gritty. Nick didn't think it was bad, but I have a texture issue with food, and just couldn't drink much of it. I really wish I liked it better though because there's 20g of protein in it, which is awesome for me, but I don't know if I can get past the grittyness.

Gack! I agree, the protein ones are nasty. I am going off in search of Green Macihne this morning, now that I've reread this thread. |

I liked the original Naked juices when I lived out West, but in recent years they have gone trendy. I used to love the banana/apple/strawberry smoothie, and the orange juice they sold, but now the drinks all have such ridiculous names I can't even figure out if they still make the flavors I liked - lol. |

I can't follow the link here at work because it's naked but how many calories per serving and how many servings in a bottle?

I can't remember exactly, but I know it's a 15.2oz bottle, I believe it's considered to be 2 servings and 110 or 220 per serving if I remember correctly. I'll have to check a bottle at home to be sure.

So where do you buy this magic elixer? It sounds like it would be a great meal substitute!

Yup, that's what I have for breakfast most mornings, especially before we work out. And I checked the juices I have, most are 120 calories per serving, and two servings per bottle. I had an orange-mango one this morning, YUM, but not as good as the Green Machine. I think that one is still my favorite.
I get them at the coffee shop by work, and some grocery stores. They have a store finder on the website, so you can find where they are sold around you. The big thing is that they aren't with the juices, they're actually in the produce section, have to be kept cold, and are only good for a certain amount of time - so don't stock up too much!

it says the super Target near me has them. I want to try. The calories are low, but high in sugar. My trainer has said NO juice, but I think as a meal replacement this could be great. And it does have high fiber - which many juices dont. |

OMG, I had the Green Machine one for rbeakfast this morning - I went to a health food store to fine one after someone brought up this topic. Yum!
I did buy a few extras, too. #1 has apparently been skipping breakfast and lunch, something he admitted to the man in the health food store who was talking to him about weight loss and nutrition. So, after we both lit into him, I bought some of these drinks for him to have in the morning. |

Yup, they're great for breakfast. Quote: | theworm said

I found them at HyVee when I ran in this a.m. At $3.49/bottle, they are not cheap, but less than a combo meal at Burger King. 
I tried the Green Machine, mainly because Bree and Cindy said it was good, and it had less calories than the Blue Machine.
It was good! And it will serve as my lunch today.
But the color is ATTROCIOUS. The lady at the pharmacy and I were laughing our butts off about it. I even opened it and made her taste a little bit off the cap after I'd paid for it.
Next time I will try the blue one, or one of the pomegranetes. I wanted to find something to cure dizziness, but it wasn't listed as a health benefit on any of them.

Yup, the green one looks nasty, but tastes wonderful. Remember the sewer sludge thing you got at Starbucks? It reminds me of that. They're normally about three bucks a bottle down here, but I got them on sale for two for $5 last week, which was a pretty good deal. They're about 3.40-4.00 dollars if I go down to the coffee shop here at work, so I try to remember to bring them from home. I've never seen the Blue Machine, but the Red is really good. I still gotta stick with Green as my favorite so far though.

The sewer sludge from Starbucks was beyond awesome, but I'm sure it was laden with sugar and not so good for you either.

Our Starbucks sells Odwalla juices, and they're healthy ones, too. But nothing's better than naked. IMO. |

I've never heard of that, but if you say Naked is better, I'll just stick with it!
