All Natural Body Armor Super Drink Protect and Restore
I just saw the news about the co-founder and former president of Vitaminwater, Mike Repole, joins the board of BODYARMOR® SuperDrink(TM) and this muitifunction beverage was awarded the best functional beverage of 2011 by BevNet.com. Since it considers the best, I have got to try them out. So I bought three different BodyArmor super drink flavors from a local store. According to BODYARMOR® SuperDrink™, “it’s an antioxidant and nutrient rich refreshment beverage formulated to support the body’s immune system. Each exotic fruit & tea flavor loaded with Polyphenols, Vitamins A, B complex, C & E, Electrolytes and amino acids, available in 6 exotic fruit flavors. Coconut water and other electrolytes provide hydrating properties to all 6 flavors without the use of artificial colors, flavoring or preservatives.”
All Natural Body Armor Tropical Mandarin Super Drink
There’s a refreshing tropical fruity aroma coming out from the fully wrapped PET bottle and it was lightly sweetened as well. If you sniff it long enough, you could sense the mandarin aroma with subtle mango scent. The color of this Body Armor Tropical Mandarin super drink was obvious orange color and the texture was similar to vitamin water. As for the taste, the very first sip tasted close to lightly sweet fruity taste and it was difficult to sense what exactly was in the flavor, but it tasted great. After couple more sips, you could sense the light mandarin and mango flavors in the taste. When your mouth processes the sip, you greeted by the light sweet fruity taste first, and then ended with subtle tart taste after swallowing it down. After chugging down half of the bottle, you will feel the dryness on your tongue. The mandarin and mango flavors were balanced well enough to have a pleasant taste. As for the coconut water, it was difficult to detect, but this tropical mandarin flavor was easy to drink. There wasn’t any aftertaste that causes you to hate.
All Natural Body Armor Cherry Citrus Super Drink
Upon opening the cap, there’s a strong refreshing cheery aroma coming out from the bottle. The color of this super drink looked very close to the cherry fruit itself. The texture was the same as the previous Tropical Mandarin flavor. As for the taste, the first sip tasted sour and fruity. After couple sips, the taste seems to be turning on the sweet side and the cheery flavor was lightly sensible. Also, it gives you a subtle tart taste after you swallow down the sip just like the previous flavor. The cherry flavor was very well balanced with citrus flavor, but the cherry flavor tasted similar to cherry flavored candies. There’s a dryness feeling on your tongue after chugging down half of the bottle. Again, there’s no sigh of coconut water in the flavor.
All Natural Body Raspberry Blueberry Goji Super Drink
The aroma coming out from the fully wrapped PET bottle was a mixture of berry flavors and it was refreshing as well. If you sniff it for couple seconds, the slightly dominate scent would be the raspberry. The color for this flavor was close to the raspberry and the texture was just the same as previous flavors. As for the taste, the first sip tasted smooth, clean with berry flavors. The tart taste seems to be stronger than the previous two flavors. After couple more sips, you could tell the subtle coconut water flavor after you swallow down the sip. The berry flavors were difficult to recognize at first, but it becomes clearer as you continue to drink. After chugging down half of the drink, the raspberry flavor seems to be slightly dominated over other two flavors. The sweet and sour tastes were well balanced and it was very pleasant to drink. It has the same aftertaste as the previous flavors.

Overall, all of those three flavors tasted well and personally I like the Raspberry Blueberry Goji flavor because it’s just that good. The Cherry Citrus would be my third choice if the other two flavors weren’t available. Also, not sure how these drinks will improve my game but at least they taste good. I can’t wait to try out the rest of their super drink flavors. By the way, the label design that wraps around the PET bottle looks stylish and appealing.
