My Erewhon Smoothie Dupe for Acne

Looking at the label, this one packs a punch with 25g of sugar per 100g serving, largely from high fructose corn syrup. The flavor profile leans heavily on pear and kiwi concentrates, which likely gives it a sweet, tropical vibe without much tartness. I'd imagine it goes down easy, almost like a thin nectar. A real-life use case could be a quick energy boost before a workout, though the crash might hit hard. The trade-off here is definitely the sugar content; it's high, and for anyone watching their intake, this might be a once-in-a-while treat rather than a daily staple. It scores a 7.5, which feels right given the ingredients list.

This Super Fruit Punch seems like a solid contender with only 4g of sugar per 100g and a stellar 9.6 score. The ingredients are all organic juices from concentrate—apple, white grape, strawberry—which suggests a cleaner, more natural fruit flavor profile. It probably tastes crisp and refreshing, not overly syrupy. I could see keeping this in the office fridge for a mid-afternoon pick-me-up that doesn't wreck your focus with a sugar rush. The main trade-off might be the price; organic options often cost a bit more, and the flavor might be less intense than a full-sugar juice. It's a smart swap if you want juice without the guilt.

With 9g of sugar and a 9.1 score, this Juice Drink sits in a middle ground. The ingredients list includes sugar alongside kiwi and strawberry concentrates, plus citric acid and acacia gum. That gum likely gives it a slightly thicker, smoother mouthfeel, maybe almost like a juice smoothie. It seems like a good grab for a gym bag—easy to sip, not too heavy, but still provides some quick carbs. The trade-off is the texture; the acacia gum can sometimes feel a tiny bit gummy or artificial if you're sensitive to it. It's not pure juice, but it avoids the high fructose corn syrup, which is a plus.

This Original Vegetable Juice is a standout with just 2g of sugar and a near-perfect 9.8 score. The ingredient list is a salad in a bottle—tomatoes, carrots, celery, beets, parsley, and more, with a pinch of salt and vitamin C. It's savory and earthy, a total departure from sweet fruit juices. I can imagine drinking this late at night as a savory, low-calorie snack that feels substantial. The trade-off is definitely the sodium from the salt; it might be too salty for some palates or those needing to watch sodium. It's a nutrient-dense option, but you have to be okay with that savory, Bloody Mary-esque vibe.

This Juice offers 3g of sugar and a 9.7 score, using concentrated pear, grape, and passion fruit. The addition of citric and malic acids points to a distinctly tart, zesty flavor profile—very mouth-puckering. It's likely refreshing and light, perfect for a kid's lunchbox as a more interesting alternative to plain water, though the acidity might be too much for sensitive teeth. The trade-off is the texture; without pulp or thickeners, it can feel a bit thin and watery compared to a more robust drink. It's a clean, simple formula that delivers on the fruity tang without piling on the sugar.
