O.N.E. Coffee Berry Juice comes in 11 oz. serving sizes which compares to most individual serving size juice packages that you will find for other juices such as apple, orange, etc.However, based on the current price, a single serving costs roughly $2.40 so this product is not aimed at your ordinary juice drinker.At the same time it is different in a number of ways from your average juice.

Nutritionally there are a couple of differences between this Coffee Berry Juice and your friendly neighborhood OJ.In overall calories Coffee Berry Juice comes in at 107 while the orange juice that I normally drink clocks in at 140 for a similar serving size.The Coffee Berry Juice is significantly higher in vitamin C at 950% U.S. RDA compared to around 150% in OJ; however, the absorption rate of vitamin C decreases with the size of the dosage.While no harm comes from large doses, you don't necessarily get over six times the benefit.The other significant difference is where Coffee Berry Juice gets its sweetness.Unlike orange or apple juice that is naturally sweet, O.N.E. sweetens Coffee Berry Juice with evaporated cane juice.This is a common sweetener preferable to refined sugar, and the overall caloric content still comes in lower.The one area that I wish I could compare to other juices is potassium.Orange Juice is naturally high in potassium at about 550 mg in a comparable serving size.That is one of the reasons that I drink it regularly.Unfortunately potassium is not included in the Coffee Berry Juice nutrition label so there is no way to compare.The final difference from a nutrition standpoint is in the area of caffeine.Coffee Berry Juice is naturally caffeinated at the same level as a cup of green tea while your normal juice is not.It is a matter of individual preference as to whether this is a good thing or not.

Ultimately, though, the real decision on a food or drink product comes down to how it tastes.This Coffee Berry Juice has a taste that is rather unique.The first two ingredients are Acerola (Amazon cherry) and strawberry puree.The blend of these two dominates the flavor of the drink.I like both of these flavors, but I found it only moderately palatable.While I wasn't repulsed by it, I wasn't blown away by it either.I think that it is probably a taste that would grow on me, but I only had one sample unit on which to base my opinion.The other aspect of interest besides taste is consistency.The Coffee Berry Juice is smooth and compares more to apple juice than orange.

All in all O.N.E. Coffee Berry Juice is a unique beverage.It has a distinct (but probably acquired) taste from your run of the mill juice.From a nutritional standpoint O.N.E. needs to include potassium levels on its labels and give more details around the nutrients it preserves over roasted coffee in order to recommend it over regular fruit juice.The main group I would recommend this to is people looking for a healthier alternative to energy drinks since Coffee Berry Juice has a moderate level of caffeine.Otherwise for the price you are probably better off with more mainstream juice.
