Naked: It's Good for the Planet (and You)!

Plenty of us like getting our fruit fixes through juice -- it's portable, tasty, and often less messy than eating a piece of fruit. But are you sure you're really getting fruit in your juice, or are there a bunch of added, artificial flavors? And what about the packaging -- is your juice killing the planet?

Naked Juice makes it simple for eco-warriors to get their juice on, naturally. They start with real fruit that is sustainably sourced (all bananas are Rainforest Alliance Certified, and all the fruit and veggie blends are non-GMO, or non-genetically modified organisms). They also work with suppliers to make sure they're ethical both socially and environmentally.

The creation of the juice is sustainbly done, too. Naked Juice's packaging is recyclable, as is most of their suppliers' packaging, and they're constantly working to improve their waste and energy reduction at every stage of the game. All products are transported on recyclable plastic pallets (durable and lighter than wood), reducing fuel used for transport and saving trees.


Of course, there's still the matter of the bottle. Fortunately, the company believes in "bottle reincarnation," and have a reNEWabottle, which is the first-ever U.S. beverage bottle made from 100 percent post-consumer recycled materials. It can also be used to make other bottles in the future. And, as you would expect, the bottles are PVC-free, because, according to Naked Juice, "Healthy juices need healthy containers."

Forget anything you've heard about healthy and natural being the equivilant of taste-free. With flavors like Pomegranate, Chai and Orange Mango, you can't go wrong. Plus, there are the Superfoods, Probiotics and more juices specifically designed to help you feel good.
