Summary
Trader Joe's Mango 100% Juice Smoothie scores 55/100. Made primarily from mango puree, apple juice, orange juice, banana puree, and lemon juice — all real fruit sources. However, high sugar content (~46g per bottle even from fruit), modified corn starch in the coloring carrier, and undisclosed natural flavors bring the score down. No seed oils. Secretly supplied by PepsiCo (Naked Juice).
