Seijo Ishii is selling a series of smoothies using colorful fruits, "Smoothies that look like fruits". I tried one of them, "Pomegranate & Beet Mix Smoothie, which looks like a fruit". Yes, those beets.


Beets are a vegetable called "red turnip" and are famous because the hot water turns dark red when boiled. It is often included in Russian food such as "borscht", but this time it became a sweet smoothie.

The price is 299 yen (excluding tax) and the calories are 178 kcal. Each bottle contains 200g (7.05oz) of fruit for one day and contains 97% fruit juice. Each bottle contains 12.1g (0.04oz) of dietary fiber. No fragrances, stabilizers or colorings used.


In addition to beets, smoothies are made from pomegranates, apples, pineapples, guava, and bananas. Vegetables also contain carrots.


The vivid colors associated with beets are eye-catching, but the flavor is mainly pomegranate. It has a sweet and sour aftertaste. However, the turnip-like characteristics of beets remain on the tongue. However, it goes well with fruits, and there is no sense of discomfort when drinking. Besides, the sourness of guava also stimulates the taste.

The content is 240 ml. A feeling of volume that is just right for breakfast. It would be fun to divide it with carbonated water or perhaps vodka or other alcoholic beverages.
