⚠️ Watch-outs & how to enjoy it better
The high natural sugar content (12.08g per 100g) can cause blood-sugar spikes, especially when consumed alone. To counteract this, pair it with a source of protein or healthy fat (like a handful of nuts or a hard-boiled egg) to slow sugar absorption. Also, be mindful of portion sizes as the calories can add up quickly.

FAQ
Is Blue Machine juice pasteurized?
Yes, Naked Juice products are pasteurized for safety and shelf stability, which involves heating to kill bacteria. This process can reduce some heat-sensitive vitamins but ensures the product is safe to drink.
Does it contain added sugars?
According to the nutrition facts, the 12.08g of sugar per 100g comes from the natural sugars in the fruit ingredients (like apple, blueberry, and banana). Naked Juice generally does not add refined sugars to this product.
Is it a good source of vitamins?
It provides some vitamins naturally occurring in fruits, like Vitamin C, but it is not typically fortified with a wide range of vitamins and should not be considered a complete multivitamin source.
