Food Review #52 Evolution Fresh Sweet Greens & Lemon





Our first ever green drink review. And guess what company makes it? A company that continues to impress us with their products, Evolution Fresh.

We recently reviewed some of their products recently, such as Evolution Fresh Orange Juice, as well as their Pineapple Coconut Water, Apple Berry + Fiber Smoothie, and Mango + Fiber we even made a pound cake recipe using their Orange Juice Now we review another product by Evolution Fresh, Evolution Fresh Sweet Greens & Lemon.

First off, a little information about Evolution Fresh. Evolution Fresh bottled beverages are made from real fruit and vegetable juice. Fresh‐picked, and nutrient-rich. Evolution Fresh fruits and vegetables are squeezed and pressed fresh, bottled cold, never heat pasteurized and without any artificial flavors and colors to bring a fresh‐picked flavor and more nutrition in every sip. Evolution Fresh is one of the few major juiceries left in the industry that still cracks, peels, presses and squeezes its own raw fruits and vegetables. After cold pressing and squeezing the fruits and vegetables, an innovative technology called high pressure processing (HPP) retains more of the flavors, vitamins and nutrients of raw fruits and vegetables without the use of heat, Evolution Fresh is one of the only juiceries using this innovative process. Evolution Fresh bottled juices can be found at 4,000 Starbucks and grocery retailers across the U.S, as well as the four Evolution Fresh stores in Washington State and California. Find out more about Evolution Fresh here.

Additionally, all Evolution Fresh products reviewed thus far are certified kosher. So, even if you are following a kosher diet, you can still enjoy Evolution Fresh products.

The packaging is very interesting. First off, the bottle is a 450 ml (15.2 ounces) rounded rectangular shaped bottle. The cap is very easy to open, and the bottle is a great size for on the go; it also fits easily in the average cupholder. On the top of the cap there is a sticker that reads "Perishable keep refrigerated", this is very helpful as many would not realize this and assume it is shelf-stable. On the front of the label, the very cool-looking Evolution Fresh logo is emblazoned. The rings around the name of the variety of juice on the label are reminiscent of fine watercolors, and are very artistic in appearance.

Another thing I like about the packaging is the label; the side of the label tells you how many different kinds, and how many of each kind of fruit or vegetable used in the drink. Evolution Fresh Sweets Green & Lemon has the juice of 6 3/4 celery stalks, 3/4 apple, 1/8 cucumber, 5 leaves of spinach, 40 sprigs of parsley, 2/5 leaves romaine lettuce, a squeeze of lemon, a squeeze of lime, a snip of wheat grass, and a snip of clover sprouts in each 15.2 ounces (450 millilitres) bottle.

You may be thinking, "They fit a lot in that bottle!", and you'd be right. I was even surprised when read that on the package.

Though I love Evolution Fresh products, I was a little bit scared to try this product. I never had a "green drink" before, and wasn't sure how it would taste. But, I decided to just get over this and try it.

Please note that, prior to drinking Evolution Fresh Sweet Greens & Lemon that you need to shake it well to properly mix the contents.

Now for the moment of truth....

As soon as you open the bottle, you smell a refreshing scent of of various fruits and vegetables, such as celery, apple, lemon, and cucumber. The scent truly surprised me, and now I was much more hopeful about this product, especially if it tasted like it smelled.

As I tasted the product, I was pleasantly surprised. This really tasted good! Now I could see why people ranted and raved about green drinks, they were most likely referring to Evolution Fresh green drinks.

This product has a complex taste and collection of flavours. There isn't really one dominant flavour, instead the flavours of celery, apple, lemon, lime, cucumber, romaine, wheatgrass, clover sprouts, and parsley perfectly mingle together, and balance each other out well.

After tasting this, I can even think of why I was afraid of green drinks, and I am no longer (of Evolution Fresh green drinks at least.).

The consistency is a happy medium between being thick and smoothie-like, and thin and juice-like. The consistency compliments the drink well, and it is a nice consistency.

Overall, Evolution Fresh Sweet Greens & Lemon truly surprised me, and I liked it very much. I would definitely, purchase it again gladly, and highly recommend it to you, the readers.

Evolution Fresh Sweet Greens & Lemon gets a 10 out of 10!

This green drink is the best I've ever had, and I highly recommend it! Evolution Fresh products are currently available in 12 states across The United States, and will soon be available in even more. For information on where to buy, go here.

  1. This is pure juice. It is delicious. If you don't like natural tasting fruits or veggies you might just be a little too used to processed foods. This drink is refreshing and you can feel the freshness. It tastes like it just came out of the juicer. I love it!

  2. Thanks for sharing useful information. I always consider green drink for my family's health. It is the best natural drink that has no side effects.

    1. whenever you juice vegetables, even if you do it at home yourself, it removes the pulp and only leaves juice behind. the fiber is all in the pulp, so unfortunately it gets pulled out along the process. to get a good balance of both, you can juice as well as blend so that some of the pulp/fiber remains.

  5. My mother-in-law had swelling in her foot, ankle, and lower leg. The sweet greens drink helped to remove the swelling. So my mother-in-law told her friend, who has multiple sclerosis (MS), and she drank two of the sweet greens drinks. The swelling in her face and body went down. From now on the friend with MS said that she will continue drinking sweet greens.
