Although I don’t have a problem getting in my daily fruits and vegetables, I’m definitely more of a fruit person.
Fruit is something that I eat can all day long, but vegetables are more of a night thing for me. There is nothing more unappetizing for me than munching on raw carrots or broccoli.
OK… I might be exaggerating a little bit, but the truth is, I don’t really like raw vegetables (except for salad). I can pull an apple out of the fridge and start munching away, but there is no way I’d do that with a head of broccoli. However, If I have time to roast it, that’s a completely different story!
I could probably prepare extra the night before, but who has time for that?
With every problem, there’s a solution right?
Enter: Naked Juice Berry Veggie
Vegetable servings in a bottle. Awesome.
Through my partnership with Naked and its Vote Naked campaign, I had the opportunity to try the Berry Veggie smoothie. It boasts of having a collective two servings of veggies, one serving of fruit, and vitamins A, C, E, B6, B3, B5, B-12 per 15.2 oz bottle. Each bottle contains the juice from:
- 15 Sweet Cherries
- 6 1/2 Strawberries
- 1 1/2 Purple Carrots
- 1/3 Red Beet
- 1/8 Sweet Potato
- 91 Kernels Sweet Corn
- 18 Chickpeas
- 1/4 Plum
- 1/5 Apple
How often can you say that you had a snack made from chickpeas, red beets, and sweet potatoes?
Not very often. Not only is Berry Veggie an easy, portable, no cook way to get in two servings of vegetables, but it also includes vegetables that I don’t normally buy!
The ingredient list is clean and simple without any added preservative or ingredients I can’t pronounce, but that’s something that I can always count on with Naked Juice.
I’m also happy to report that this drink tastes like a fruit smoothie! It was more tart than sweet, but it definitely had that certain goodness that I always get from Naked Juice.
Berry Veggie is a great example of how Naked Juice uses the goodness of vegetables to help you live a healthy lifestyle. If you want to try it for yourself, leave a comment telling me your favorite ingredient in the above smoothie. I’ll pick a winner on Sunday to win three coupons for a free 15.2 oz Naked Juice smoothie.
Are you a fruit or vegetable person?

Made me think of you having me taste test the raw carrots at Thanksgiving because you didn’t want to eat them raw LOL
I don’t mind raw carrots or peas in a pod or a few others, but I’ll always be a fruit person. LOVE my apples!

I know what you mean about eating fruits over veggies — I am the EXACT same way! Although the sweet potato would be my favorite ingredient in this drink!!
Snacks made from chickpeas, red beets, and sweet potatoes are actually a pretty regular occurring in my house… LOL! I am definitely a veggie person.

Strawberries! My go-to drink is carrot apple ginger. Yesterday I threw some strawberries in and it was awesome!
My favorite ingredient is Strawberries.. Love them.
I would definately have to say cherries! Tiny pops of goodness
I love the idea of the chickpeas, makes it way more filling and I would imagine a bit creamier too! It sounds delicious, and I can’t wait to try it!
Strawberries are my fav ingredient in just about anything!!
My favorite ingredient has to be the chickpeas! What other drink can offer chickpeas as their protein source?? Amazing!! Can’t wait to gulp this drink down .. on a daily basis hehe. The cherries make it all the more irresistible..
I would have to say strawberries and sweet cherries! But it’s really hard to pick just one! I love them all!! <3
Strawberries…but I must say the purple carrots have piqued my interest.
I love Strawberries. These Naked drinks taste so good!!
Cherries!
Chickpeas, I mean come on. How often does one eat/drink something with chickpeas in it?
I love beets but I don’t normally buy them… It just feels like a lot of prep work! But I’m excited to try this new Naked!
I will always be a fruit person first, but wow, have to say the carrots AND the sweet potato are my favorite!
I’m more a fruits person than a veggies person, though I can’t eat either raw. My son, though LOVES his fruits, and also loves Naked’s Green Machine juice (the only juice he’ll drink. Otherwise he just drinks water). I’ll definitely have to try this with him. ^^
My fav fruit’s strawberries, and his is blueberries. ^^
The beet is my favorite ingredient because it’s something I would NEVER eat otherwise…I would love to try this drink! Sounds yummy and I already know I love their smoothies
The cherries in this drink are what make it so awesome. Tastes better than any of the other fruit/veggie blends out there. Also not as grainy in texture as some of the others. Yum! Definitely one of my new favorites.
Cherries would be my favorite ingredient. I love fruit and veggie blend drinks.
This is my very favorite Naked juice combo!! LOVE Berry veggie! My fave ingredient would have to be the sweet cherries! Delicious!
Hmmm, this is tough to choose only one of the ingredients; I love beets and sweet potatoes both so much! Although, I’ve never had them together, so I’m betting this smoothie is pretty delicious:)
oh, goodness. so much wonderfulness in one smoothie. i’m probably most excited about the corn or the sweet potato, though. nomnomnom.

hmmmm strawberrys and sweet potatoes togeather???? maybe pretty
good im willing to try other ingredients look good too!!!!
I’m a fruit person too! I could eat fruit all day everyday. But I do love sweet potatoes!
I think it’s really interesting that there are chickpeas in this juice! and I love sweet potato
I love that this drink has beets in it! A lot of people don’t like beets do its a great way to get its benefits.
chickpeas–definitely amazes me that they could go in a juice or smoothie!
sweet cherries!
I love cherries and chickpeas… and I love that they’re both in the same drink!
Out Of Them ALL, I Think I Would Have To Say “Sweet Potatoe”, Even Though I Could Say Or Think Of Something TRUTHFULLY Wonderful About ALL Of The Ingredients!! (Ex. An Apple A Day),I Mean They Are ALL Healthy & GOOD 4 You! I Have Tried Almost ALL Of The Naked Juice Varieties, But Have Not Had a Chance To Taste This One! But in My My Own Personal Journey To “Better Health”, I Surely WOULDN’T Mind! Sounds Like A Very Interesting Combination.
I think mine would have to be the chickpeas – they are so loaded with nutrients and goodness!

Definitely a fruit person! I’ve been craving strawberries recently, so my favorite ingredient would be strawberries at the moment!
I’m definitely more of a fruit snacking person. I am most intrigued by the corn. Don’t think I have ever seen that in a drink before!
The strawberries,

I would have to say that the apples would be my favorite ingredient! I’m with you….I love fruit! Yummy
chickpeas! how cool…i’ve never thought about adding them to a smoothie, but i may try now – would make a great protein source!
tastewise…i’m hoping the cherries pull through! love them in smoothies

I haven’t really been eating much in the way of vegetables lately, save for whatever dinner vegetable I cook, or saute in scrambled eggs, or puree in a smoothie. I admit to liking fruit more, though. I just don’t have vegetables on the brain!
Christina recently posted..Lazarus Chocolate Chunk Cookies
I am not really a juice person at all, but would be interested in trying this just because the ingredients list is so interesting. Especially the sweet potatoes!
I LOVE veggies and could munch on them all day long. I like fruit too but for some reason am never in the mood for it anytime after dinner. It’s like as soon as I eat dinner, all I want to eat afterwards if I do have anything is dairy and carbs, haha.
