Oasis Fruit Zoo: Go2Girlz Tested and Approved

Last month the Go2Girlz got together with Oasis Team Urban Moms to sample Oasis Fruit Zoo 100% fruit juice. The verdict? The results were unanimous: Oasis Fruit Zoo 100% fruit juice gets the Go2Girlz seal of approval.

Our testers were treated to 1L containers of Oasis Fruit Zoo Strawberry-Banana, Peach-Clementine and Grape-Wildberry juices along with juice boxes in all these flavours as well as apple with Calcium. What stood out most about Oasis Fruit Zoo 100% fruit juices with added vitamins & minerals with our testers? By far the most important feature was how much the kids loved all the juices, but the moms also loved the fact that they are all 100% juice, with no added sugar. In addition, Oasis Fruit Zoo features added vitamins and minerals (including calcium and B9), which was a huge hit with moms as well.

The kids really loved the fun animal graphics on the packages, and more than one mom reported that the kids asked for “zebra juice” or “tiger juice”! But many of our grown-up testers loved the innovative packaging for its tall, thin shape that fits very well in smaller spaces in the fridge. Plus, the screw-on cap helped keep the juice fresh and was easy for small (and big) hands to pour.

The results are unanimous: all of our testers say they would definitely recommend Oasis Fruit Zoo 100% fruit juice with vitamins & minerals to a friend and they all also agreed that they would buy (in fact some already have bought) it again themselves.

So what did our testers have to say? Here are some of the Go2Girlz comments about Oasis Fruit Zoo 100% juices with vitamins & minerals:

“It's not often that my son goes to the refrigerator and points to healthy beverages.” Andree, mom of 1

“My 1st grader had an end of year party at school, and I brought 30 juice boxes of Oasis :) Thank you very much Urban Moms for giving our family the chance to be introduced to such a great product!!!” Karen, mom of 2

“Everyone loved it. We drank it straight, used it in smoothies and froze it for slushies and everyone enjoyed it” Tracey, mom of 3

“It was nice to try something new that was marketed to children and wasn't trying to load them up with artificial sweeteners.” Julie, mom of 2

Featured Review: Astro BioBest Maximmunité

A lucky group of our Go2Girlz recently had the opportunity to try samples of Astro BioBest Maximmunité probiotic drink. As you know, we never give any product the urbanmoms.ca seal of approval until it has been tested and approved by our Go2Girlz product testers. And Astro BioBest Maximmunité was a resounding hit!

Astro BioBest Maximmunité is a concentrated probiotic drink, containing the exclusive Immunofit blend of two unique probiotic cultures.  Maximmunité specifically targets your body's natural defences in your digestive tract, where 70 per cent of the immune system is located.  Each 94 mL bottle contains 10 billion active probiotic cultures - 10 times more probiotic cultures than 100g probiotic spoonable yogurt products, and is available in three great tasting natural flavours: classic vanilla, delicious strawberry and exotic açai berry. Maximmunité probiotic drinks are a source of calcium, and are low in fat, saturated fats and cholesterol. They are also trans-fat free.

Our testers each had the opportunity to try two of the three flavours, and the consensus is clear...they're all delicious! All of our testers felt this beverage was a great way to grab a nutritious snack or breakfast on the go, and the added probiotic benefit was a definite plus for them. The Go2Girlz reported that their families also enjoyed Maximmunité, with the Strawberry flavour coming in as the Go2Kidz fave. As always, our panel of testers was thrilled to be able to test a new product, and most of them said they would buy Maximmunité again, and would definitely recommend it to a friend.

Featured Review: Sun-Rype 100% Fruit Juices and Snacks

  The Go2Girlz have been busy lately, and a group of them recently received samples of Sun-Rype fruit juices and fruit snacks to enjoy with their families. They received a package that was bursting at the seams with two different types of juices and four different kinds of fruit snacks. The verdict? A definite hit.

Sun-Rype is proud that their 100% fruit snacks and 100% juice products contain nothing artificial and naturally occurring fruit sugar. The great taste of Sun-Rype also comes with no artificial flavours and no artificial colours because they know that what's not in their juices and fruit snacks is just as important as what is.

Plus, now there's one more way to enjoy the delicious taste you expect from Sun-Rype: a brand new bottle that's easy to open, easy to pour and easy to store.

The new plastic bottles are fully recyclable where facilities exist and safe for you and your family. The controversial chemical Bisphenol-A is not used as either a raw material source or an additive in the production of any of our plastic containers including Sun-Rype 100% juices in 1.36L or 3.78L; or in Sun-Rype Apple Sauce containers.
