F&D | Locally Blended Juice Drinks in Calamansi, Guyabano and Dalandan

Ladies and gentlemen, may I present to you my latest addiction!!!

These drinks are available at 7-Eleven. Each bottle contains 350 mL and costs 40 Php each. They have tons of yummy Filipino flavors. The ones available in the 7-Eleven store near me are Calamansi, Guyabano, Dalandan and Tamarind. However, based on what I saw online, they do have other flavors such as Kamias and Mangosteen.

Tamarind, Kamias and Mangosteen are actually not my type of drinks. However, the other flavors are so delicious that I can't help but be curious and want to give them a try, too. We'll see.

I believe this brand is pretty new. It is produced by the company NutriAsia which is also the producer, marketer and distributor of many well known brands such as UFC, Datu Puti, Mang Tomas and many more.

These juices are made with natural homegrown fruits and they taste like the real deal. They are just soooo good. Actually, I think that's even an understatement. They have a sour-sweet taste that's far from artificial. They don't lean on being too sweet. They are perfectly and smoothly blended. The consistency is not extremely thin and watery. They are so different from powdered juices.

Guyabano

Dalandan

Calamansi

Here are the lists of ingredients. They do have flavorings added, but based on the order on the lists, they are mostly made of puree and concentrate.

The photo above shows the nutrition facts.

They are not only yummy and addicting, they also look fun and zesty. They come in a glass bottle with entertaining notes, images, labels, and colors. Check out the taglines on the front like Guyabano-body But You, You've Dalandan It Again and Calamansi'z The Day. They even have what they called "PULP FACTS", the ones that are in different colored boxes at the end part of the back. By the way, you can also find the expiration date near the "pulp facts".

The bottles are tightly sealed. The caps are easy to pop or open.

Let's now check them out one by one.

Guyabano is my favorite among the three. No! I think it's my favorite drink of all time. I've been through many bottles of this flavor.

When I was a kid I used to love Tang Guyabano powder juice drink. I was so glad when they reintroduced that recently. However, I got disappointed when I tried it and realized that it's no longer the same. It tasted so different and artificial to me. I'm no longer a fan of it. I'm glad I found a new guyabano drink.

Calamansi is my second favorite among these juices. It tasted like real and fresh calamansi juice. It even brought back some precious childhood memories. When I was a child I used to get sick quite a lot due to fever and asthma attack, so mama used to make calamansi juice to help me recover faster. There was also this one time when I slept over to nanay's house and my cousin made a calamansi juice for me. Oh, it's the little things in life!

Even though Dalandan is my least favorite, it doesn't mean that it's not good. Actually, I find it really delicious, too. At first, I was wondering if Dalandan and Calamansi would taste the same, so I was hesitating to buy them both. Luckily, they tasted differently. This Dalandan tasted really like dalandan and not any other citrus fruit may it be calamansi, lemon, lime or orange. 

They are all great and true to their names. I'm so glad that I found this line of juices. I bet my addiction to them won't end anytime soon. ;)
