Have You Tried These Drinks Already?

Lots of new beverages are introduced in the market lately. There were fruit juices, flavored water, varieties of milks, different blend of teas, energy drinks, sparkling drinks, yogurts etc. Among all of these new products, here are my top 3 favorites.

Vitamilk is made in Thailand and distributed here by Asia Brewery. I first saw this soymilk drink in 7-Eleven stores last year but I'm seeing these already available in supermarkets. There are three flavors to choose from: the original soymilk, chocoshake, and vitamilk energy. It comes in a bottle packaging which is not so easy to handle when you're on the go. Each bottle costs 25 pesos, a bit pricey though. What I love in this product is the richness of the flavor and the thickness. It's not the usual soy drink that has this beany taste. Some find this too sweet though, but for me it's delicioso!

I'm just ignoring this product when looking for orange juice at beverages stalls before. Maybe because its packaging isn't attractive. For me atleast. But man! I never thought that this product would really taste so good. Smart C+ is a product of Liwayway Marketing, makers of Oishi products. It comes in three variants: Orang Crush, Lemon Squeeze and Pomelo Grapefruit. I was able to taste all three and I say to you that all of the three tastes close to real fresh fruit juices of its flavors. It's really thirst quenching and refreshing. For a price of 17 pesos per 500ml, you'll have 320% of RDA of your Vitamin C needs. Sulit di ba!

My recent discovery is Farm Fresh Low Fat Vanilla Milk of Pure & Best (ang haba ng tawag! haha). This is a local product made by Hacienda Macalauan Inc. in Laguna. It comes in a very cute tetra packaging which has really attracted me to get one. And it doesn't disappoint me. It tastes so good! Each pack costs 27 pesos, same price with most of sterilized milk products in tetra packs. What I love in this product is that has a rich flavor yet it is light. It has this nice sweet taste that is really addicting. Plus it is a milk! As they say, milk is an almost perfect food. So good!
