This week’s product review features Cheribundi Cherry Juice
After I’ve raced or done a long run, besides flopping down on the couch in exhaustion, I like to heavy-up on the antioxidants to fight off those nasty free radicals that swirl around the system.
Just hours into my marathon recovery, what do I find on my doorstep? A case of cherry juice from Cheribundi!
My first thought was “oooh antioxidants!” (I know, I’m weird) but my second was “but cherries are loaded with sugar”.
So I was pleasantly surprised to find 3 different versions of cherry juice in my sampler box:
Tru Cherry: The juice of 50 cherries packed in each cute 8 oz. bottle.
Skinny Cherry: Sweetened with Stevia no less, I am this product’s newest groupie
and just when you thought it couldn’t get any better:
Whey Cherry: That’s right folks they packed protein right into the juice so you’ve got antioxidants and protein for optimal recovery! Do I hear angels singing?
I chugged the Whey Cherry immediately following last week’s hot tempo run and found it light, not-too-sweet, and very refreshing.
I splashed the Tru Cherry in my morning shake and even used it in a marinade
I enjoyed the Skinny Cherry on it’s own
They were all delicious and honestly I am very impressed with all of these products.
I tried these juices too, yummy! They taste like cherry pie!
I have to say one of the few flavors I don't like is cherry!
Thanks for the review. I've been wanting to try those juices. Think I'll opt for the Skinny Cherry!
cheribundi. hm? interesting. w/my nutrition, i have 1 cup of cherries on one of my intakes, and was going to ask my nutritionist guru about it. Cherries must be the new 'it' thing eh?
Are they the sour cherries? I read recently (Runner's World?) that kind was really good for muscle recovery!
Hmmm…Sounds yummy! Thanks for the review!
Yum…I love me some cherries.
I have heard great things about this cheery juice. I have to keep my eye out for this produce and try it myself:) Have a fantastic Friday Marcia!
Sounds like a great product! Mmm, ch-ch-cherry!
hmmm not a fan of cherry…but I think it is neat that they can make tasty juices for others!
I've heard that cherries and cherry juice is great for recovery! I eat dried cherries all of the time in my cereal, yogurt, oatmeal, for snacks, etc. But, I have yet to try cherry juice. I may have to check it out!
Those sound good. I will have to look for them at the grocery store.
Sounds pretty good. Are specifically designed as a sport drink? Or just a great-tasting juice. Personally, I make my own natural sports drink made of water, maple syrup, lemon and lime juice, and a touch of salt.

I'm a stevia fan….so that skinny cherry sounds tasty, and healthy!
runs in the fam: yes they're made from sour cherries.
Yuri: Not specifically a sports drink I don't think but certainly a refreshing post-workout drink.
Where do you find them? Sounds yummy.
Thank GAWD you did a review of this, I'm just going to cut and paste for my blog so I don't have to do any writing for my review. Thanks, Marcia!! Maybe I WILL reserve that O2 tank for you afterall….hum….
I've bought Stevia but hadn't done anything with it yet. I need to figure out how to substitute it for sugar in my baking.
