Taste Opinion

Summary
Sun-Rype Fruit Plus Veggies Blueberry is the recommended choice. Although it does contain slightly higher amounts of calories, sodium and sugars, it also contains increased amounts of fibre, Vitamin A and iron. Sun-Rype contains a wider variety of vegetable juices yet still maintains a very pleasant fruity taste. Drinking Sun-Rype feels healthy because of its thick consistency and distinct blueberry flavour. Sun-Rype is also priced lower for the same amount of juice, so it is the economical choice.
