Hopping on the runaway train that is the cold-pressed juice category, specialty grocer Trader Joe's has introduced a new three-SKU line of high pressure processed juices. Coming in three color-named varieties -- Red, Green and Yellow -- the products are quite tasty and include a pretty innovative formulation in the Yellow flavor. The packaging is also praiseworthy, and with as hot a category as cold-pressed juice and devoted a following as that of Trader Joe's, the new line could be a big success.

Self-described as "Los Angeles's First 'Perfectly Pure' Cold-Pressed Juice Bar," Clover Juice produces a line of raw (non-pasteurized and non-HPP) juices that it sells in two retail storefronts in downtown L.A. The juices are quite enjoyable and feature some quite blends, yet Clover will need to do some work to build a brand that can evolve beyond company-owned stores.

Last month, Honest Tea debuted its "Summer Refreshers" line, a five-SKU mix of juice-based drinks that are USDA Organic and use Fair Trade sugar as a sweetener. Packaged in 32 oz. glass bottles, the company has done a really nice job with the formulation and branding of the products, which look more mature and polished than some of the larger format products that it competes with.

Nearly a year after the brand's debut on the market, Vital Juice has introduced a kids' line. Featuring four varieties, each made with cold pressed fruits, vegetables and almond milk, the drinks are well formulated and come with playful labels that should appeal to young consumers. One significant issue for us: the lack of a strong call-out indicating that the product contains nuts.

Marketed as a “pure maple water,” Drink Maple is made with a single ingredient: maple sap. If you’re like most people, the first thing that comes to mind when you hear maple sap is maple syrup. Yet when it comes to flavor, this product is a distant cousin from the stuff that you put on pancakes.

o2Living has extended its platform of cold-pressed, high pressure processed juices to include a kids' line of drinks. The line is comprised of four varieties, each packaged in 8 oz. bottles with striking black labels, a welcome shift from the often clear or white packages that we've seen with most similarly-positioned juice brands.

Skinny Lemon Co.’s The Master Cleanse Beverage is a literal translation of... well... a “master cleanse” beverage. That said, it’s made with water, lemon, maple syrup and cayenne. Flavorwise, it’s exactly what you’d expect: slightly sweet, slightly tart and pretty spicy. But can the product hold up against other HPP versions of the products? And what about the approach of having only a single SKU ?

Health-Ade has added two new varieties -- Carrot and Beet -- to its line of kombucha drinks. The new flavors are certainly some of the more adventurous that we've seen hit the category, and while we were a bit apprehensive as to how the two beverages (each sporting the brand's new label design) might taste, the first sips alleviated any concern.

Marketed as a “vitamin enhanced water + electrolytes,” Rage Vitamin Water comes in a single “Hydrating Citrus” flavor. While the ingredients have merit, the company's reason for inclusion could definitely use a better -- and more succinct -- explanation than what’s on the back of the bottle. The packaging has a similar issue: it’s just not clear what this product is trying to be.

Based in Boca Raton, Fla., Juicera produces a range of USDA Organic certified and high pressure processed juice blends. The products are packaged in cylindrical bottles with a few of the varieties coming 8 and 16 oz. sizes. Overall, the company has done well to create a tasty and well-executed product, but the labels could use a bit of a revamp.

Formerly known as Kombucha Mama, Humm Kombucha is a pretty unique looking brand, starting with its proprietary 14 oz. glass bottle. It has a whimsical look to it, both in the label design and the shape of the glass bottle. The package is very approachable and polished, and while we think the company needs to make a few changes in the formulation of a few of nine flavor varieties, we're quite impressed with the brand overall.

Positioned as "All Natural Greek Mountain Iced-Teas," Zoos Greek Iced Tea is a line of herbal tea products that are made from Sideritis (aka ironwort), which is a flowering plant. The drinks are pretty tasty with a mellow flavor that tastes pretty similar to white tea, but with an almost mint-like finish. We do, however, have mixed views regarding the the three varieties -- Original, Peach and Lemon.

Earlier this year, Califia Farms introduced new single-serve varieties to its line of citrus juice products. Packaged in 10.5 oz. fully wrapped bottles, the review team sampled Califia's Lemonade, Limeade and Tangerine juices (the company also markets an Orange Juice variety) and offered praise for the formulations, but had some concerns about the labels.

Vitamin Dose is a line of liquid vitamin supplements that are packaged in 5.07 oz. cans and currently come in four varieties, each sweetened with crystalline fructose and sucralose: B-Carotene, Magnesium, Vitamins and Minerals, and Vitamin C. The products are pleasant tasting and offer sound functional benefits, however, the labeling could be confusing to some consumers.
