PRE Probiotic Enhancer

Product Type:Juice: Coconut Water and Juice; Container: 16.9 oz PET
BevNET Review: Despite having a gold tint to the liquid and containing 25 percent juice, this product’s “tropical” flavor appears to be derived completely from flavoring. The juice content is exclusively from coconut water (from concentrate), but its flavor is masked by the tropical fruit flavoring (which has a heavy pineapple note) and stevia that have been added to the drink. And with 80 calories per bottle, we’d honestly expect it to taste better than it does. Functionally the product has 4g of fiber per bottle as well as various vitamins (A, C, Bs), with the main goal of the product being to function as a “probiotic enhancer.” Packaging is a 16.9 oz. PET bottle, which has a square shape and a tapered center. While we like the look of the bottle, the quality of the label leaves something to be desired (it looks pixelated and blurry in spots). Overall, we like the concept, but the drink’s execution could definitely be improved.

BevNET Review: One of several zero calorie formulations that make up the PRE lineup, Cranberry Raspberry is a stevia sweetened fruit flavored beverage with prebiotic benefits. The flavor is pleasing, at least compared to other zero calorie beverages, with a decent note of raspberry flavor to the mix. The stevia is noticeable, but not overbearing, which is definitely a good thing. Still, we’d like more cranberry flavor to be present in the mix. And we’d like a little more variety (aside from Peach Mango) between the three berry flavored zero calorie offerings – they are way too similar tasting. Functionally, the product has the exact same prebiotic content (inulin) as the other PRE products. The only variables are the vitamin and mineral content, which has vitamins A, B vitamins, and calcium. Packaging follows the traditional format of using a white background to signify a diet offering. The big “ZERO” text makes it easy to quickly identify, but it looks almost identical to Powerade Zero’s treatment of the word. Overall, a good line extension that we honestly prefer over some of their other hybrid sweetened products.
